Electronics solutions for a reduced carbon footprint

Our customers are facing an ever-increasing demand for climate-smart machines, and at the centre of the green transition is electrification. But did you know that smart, innovative electronics solutions can make a big difference even in fossil-fuelled applications? Here, control systems, connectivity and autonomous functions play a crucial role. In this article, we take a deep dive into the possibilities of electronics and how HydX can help you develop tomorrow's solutions today.

The potential of modern electronics is enormous, but creating real value requires a deep understanding of the machine's application and technical conditions. When the solution is based on actual needs, the process becomes both more forward-thinking and more energy efficient, with clear benefits for both the environment and the economy.

Up to 30% lower fuel consumption

Modern machinery generates vast amounts of data, and used correctly, these insights can be translated into both climate benefits and business value. With intelligent control logic and data-driven decisions, it is possible to optimise every movement, every pressure level and every component usage.

You can reduce fuel consumption by up to 30 per cent simply by optimising software, hydraulics, transmission and control systems – an untapped potential that machine manufacturers can address relatively easily to reduce their climate footprint today.

Mr Pär Lönnergård

Stricter legislation and increased customer demands mean that demand for sustainable and resource-efficient systems is skyrocketing. Our customers face a technical and strategic challenge - but also an opportunity to create the next generation of machine systems and thereby strengthen their position in the market. At HydX, we provide comprehensive solutions that meet our customers' requirements and enable them to take an active role in their green transition.

Regulatory control enables energy savings

A well-designed control system is essential to achieve high performance and low energy consumption. By controlling flows, movements and power distribution, the machine can be optimised in real time according to actual demand, rather than working to a general maximum. The result is a smoother and more resource-efficient operation, with fewer wear points and an easier working environment for the operator.

At HydX, we integrate control logic that enables the definition of precise limits for movement paths, pressure levels, or torques – helping the operator work efficiently and consistently while minimising the risk of misuse.

Through rule-based control in the control system, data on the machine's status, such as temperature, load or fuel consumption, can also be used to control behaviour, allowing the machine to optimise itself in real time depending on the environment and task.

Connected systems for smarter decisions

IoT creates entirely new opportunities to monitor and improve machine performance over time. By connecting the control system to the internet, data is collected continuously, enabling predictive maintenance, remote diagnostics and analysis of how resources are used in real-life conditions.

By connecting machines and collecting real-world data, you gain invaluable insights into actual performance. For machine manufacturers, it’s a concrete opportunity to create the next generation of machines – more energy-efficient, more innovative, and with reduced climate impact.

Mr Jakob Svensson

Application engineer at HydX

Our IoT solutions are built on open platforms and customised to each customer's technical requirements. The goal is always the same: to create measurable improvements in efficiency, availability and sustainability.

Autonomous functions that reduce the carbon footprint

Most people recognise that autonomous functions can reduce the need for manual intervention, but the technology also has excellent potential to increase the resource efficiency of the machine. By automating repetitive or precision-heavy tasks with the support of sensor data from, for example, GPS, lidar or radar, the machine can minimise energy consumption, reduce error margins and adapt dynamically to varying environments.

We customise the degree of autonomy according to the application and environment, ranging from assisted manoeuvring to full automation of specific tasks. In all cases, the aim is to increase precision and reduce waste, both of time and energy.

With autonomous solutions, you can let repetitive, resource- or precision-intensive tasks be handled by the machine. The result is greater precision, better resource utilisation and more efficient production – with higher safety and an improved user experience as a bonus.

Total solutions - when electronics meets hydraulics and electrification

HydX is more than an electronics supplier. We build complete systems where electronics, hydraulics and electrification work together to create solutions that are powerful, energy efficient and customised for each unique application. By combining the intelligence of electronics with the power of hydraulics and the flexibility of electrification, we can optimise the entire application – not just individual components.

Such solutions can involve coordinating electric pumps with load-sensing hydraulics, controlling rotation speed and pressure according to actual load, or switching between different operating modes depending on needs and environmental data. With the right combination of hardware and software, it is possible to reduce fuel consumption, lower noise levels, and extend system lifetime.

Together with our sister company ETP, we also offer cutting-edge expertise in electric powertrains and battery operation, enabling us to deliver complete systems from power source to final movement – with total control over efficiency, functionality and environmental impact.

A technology partner you can trust

HydX acts as your technology partner throughout the entire process: from analysis and design to implementation and optimisation. Our strength lies in our ability to see the big picture - how technology works together to create innovative and sustainable machine systems.
