Hydraquip Electric Systems President, Scott Jones, has cultivated a strong relationship with a particular customer over many years, during which we have consistently provided tailored solutions to meet their unique needs. Recently, our team was presented with an exciting opportunity to design and configure a brand new, innovative console panel specifically for bulk explosive trucks.

This new panel underwent a comprehensive reconfiguration, marking a significant upgrade to the entire system. Remarkably, this is the first time in over 17 years that the console panel has undergone a stylistic change, reflecting our commitment to innovation and progress. The upgrade features custom electrical enclosures, a CAN joystick, and potentiometers, alongside cutting-edge technology such as built-in GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi capabilities, enhancing the functionality and connectivity of the console.

One notable challenge we faced during this project was the need to update the onscreen graphics. We aimed to ensure that the new design included innovative graphics that not only complemented the modern display but also improved usability and user experience. Through careful collaboration and design iterations, we successfully integrated these enhanced graphics into the console.

The customer expressed great satisfaction with the final outcome, highlighting how the commissioning of the new console panel exceeded their expectations. This project not only strengthened our partnership but also showcased our ability to deliver high-quality, innovative solutions that adapt to evolving industry standards and customer demands.
