Garbage Trucks
Garbage trucks must be fast, efficient, and quiet. As public vehicles, they are expected to efficiently complete a dirty task safely, without disturbing citizens. As a business, cost savings are increased based on how efficiently the truck completes its route. By using cylinder position data, trucks can optimize their dump cycles to be fast and quiet. Monitoring this data over time can also be used for predictive maintenance and route optimization.
What are the key requirements?
- Absolute and reliable position feedback for precise movements
- Highest robustness against shock and wear of thousands of cycles
- High sample rate and resolution to optimize cylinder stroke and electronic cushioning
