Simplifying Machine Customization

“They will have modular kits so they can easily customize the machine based on customer needs, while still taking advantage of quantity pricing because of a commonality of the parts used.”

Offering heavy equipment operators the ability to customize their machine can be a huge selling point for OEMs. But keeping costs down and simplifying the manufacturing process in that situation can be incredibly difficult. One way to support this offering is by creating modular kits that utilize common parts but can be programmed or adjusted to perform different functions or fit certain application needs.

Inland Lake Harvesters creates aquatic weed harvesters and offer a range of different machine sizes and capabilities. To offer a feasible customization option, for example the ability to switch which joystick you’re using to drive the machine, we’ve created a universal solution that uses the same components, such as the wire harness and IQAN program, to control different functions. Take a look at the video below to hear from one of our account managers about this solution.
