Come and meet us at the worldwide meeting point for the agricultural machinery sector. We would love to discuss innovations, trends and visions with you.

On the 22nd of November 2010 we gathered some of our German customers in Nuremberg for a seminar on Functional Safety. The purpose of the seminar was to share our experiences in developing systems and solutions for safety critical applications. Summarizing the feedback received from the participants, we clearly see this type of competence seminar as the future for sharing our extensive experience from putting humans in control of machines in critical environments.

Video surveillance equipment has traditionally relied on analogue CCTV solutions. Low flexibility and scalability, high cost, and limitations in image quality has led to a next generation of solutions based on open-network technologies such as Ethernet and IP. These network-based video solutions are steadily growing and are now moving into the vehicle industry.

CAN has been the main communication protocol used in industrial vehicles, but the latest trends have seen ethernet technology gaining increasing use for when CAN can ’t quite manage on its own.

Designing robust and reliable control systems and graphical displays for industrial vehicle applications has always required moving away from the high-performing standard segment of computer devices. The embedded solutions available with required robustness, have often had setbacks in the area of performance and graphical capabilities. With the new CCpilot XM, this is no longer the case.

On the 19th of April CC Systems changes name to CrossControl.

A new simulation-based test strategy for control system software can provide a test environment with higher observability, more controllability and greater interaction possibilities.

A new Fleet Management platform that is seamlessly integrated with the machine control system can turn mere vehicle suppliers into leading machine service providers.

Owners of even the most general purpose machines are now expecting increased efficiency through the use of modern controls and onboard computing.

Legislative and standardisation authorities around the world are currently increasing the pressure on vehicle manufacturers to comply with safety standards for their electronic systems.
