Design the Machine Experience—Not Individual Components
Integrated hydraulic, electronic, software, and operator-control solutions for heavy equipment OEMs
Today’s heavy equipment must do more, communicate more, and still feel simple for the operator to use. That means the real engineering challenge is no longer selecting individual components. It is integrating hydraulics, programmable controls, software and diagnostics into one machine system that performs reliably in the field.
GS Global Resources partners with OEM engineering teams to design that complete experience. From early concepts through production-ready assemblies, we combine fluid power, electronic controls, mechanical design, and programming experience to help you create equipment that is intuitive to operate, scalable across product lines, and easier to support.
Your machine is one system
A joystick, controller, display, hydraulic valve, armrest, camera, and operator cab can each meet their own specification. But the machine only succeeds when those elements work together seamlessly.
We help OEMs bring the system together around the way the machine is built, operated, and serviced. We help you consider the interfaces that can create costly complexity later in development including:
- How hydraulic functions and electronics communicate.
- How control logic, CAN architecture, and display information support the operator.
- How the operator accesses, understands, and uses high-priority machine functions.
- How all of the necessary components fit within physical packaging constraints.
- How diagnostics and machine information can be presented clearly for operators and technicians.
- How a solution can be documented, manufactured, and supported as your machine moves from prototype into production.
The result is not simply a group of compatible parts. It is a more coordinated machine-control experience designed around your application.
Engineer around the operator
Machine capability should not come at the expense of operator clarity.
Our team works with OEMs to create operator environments and control solutions that help organize machine functions around the work being done. We go beyond just installing individual components, but integrate complete camera and radar systems, custom alerts, operator presence features, and more into an operator station built for usability, durability, visibility, and long shifts.
Whether your equipment works in forestry, mining, crane, material-handling, or other demanding mobile applications, the goal is the same: give operators confident access to the functions and information they need—without adding unnecessary complexity.

Build a control architecture that can grow
A machine-control system should support the current platform while leaving room for the next model, attachment, work mode, display upgrade, or feature set.
We have numerous programming experts who can create programmable machine-control architectures that connect every aspect of your machine. Using platforms such as IQAN by Parker Hannifin, our team can support machine software, control logic, diagnostics, graphical interfaces, and connected-machine functionality as part of a broader integrated solution. This gives OEM teams a path to make the control system more adaptable without treating every new configuration as a completely separate engineering project.
We even offer in-person IQAN training, as well as on-demand targeted skills training videos, giving you the tools to take control of your machine’s program.
Create consistency across machine lines
As an OEM product line grows, variation can multiply quickly: different controls, display layouts, cab configurations, machine options, and operating workflows. That can increase engineering effort and make the user experience less consistent from one model to the next.
GSGR helps OEMs balance common architecture with application-specific customization. We can help you develop scalable control stations and integrated systems that preserve operator familiarity while adapting to different machine sizes, configurations, and use cases.
A more consistent platform can help support:
- Familiar control locations and behavior across models.
- Reusable software and communication architecture.
- Common display logic and diagnostic approaches.
- Efficient integration of optional features and attachments.
- Simplified manufacturing, service, and operator training.
Design for changing work and future needs
One machine may support several attachments, operating modes, tasks, or operator preferences. Your controls and machine interface need to adapt without creating confusion or compromising the underlying system.
GSGR helps OEMs integrate configurable controls, display logic, joystick functions, sensor inputs, and machine software around the way the equipment is used. Whether you need to support different control patterns, program
able work modes, multiple display views, or changing accessory requirements, we work with your development team to create a solution that fits the application.
Make machine information easier to use
A smart machine should not make it harder to find critical information.
GSGR can help integrate diagnostic information, system status, alerts, display logic, CAN communication, and remote-monitoring capabilities into the machine-control experience. The objective is to help operators and technicians see useful information in context—supporting faster troubleshooting, better machine awareness, and clearer communication across connected systems.
GSGR’s remote-monitoring and telematics capabilities include CAN-bus engineered system solutions, real-time engine diagnostic alerts, equipment location, and IQAN troubleshooting functionality that can allow technicians to monitor machine data remotely.
One partner for the system around the machine
You bring the machine application, performance requirements, and customer expectations. GSGR brings engineering depth across hydraulic, electronic, mechanical, software, and operator-interface disciplines.
Together, we can help turn individual components and requirements into a coordinated machine solution—one designed for how your equipment will be operated, manufactured, serviced, and evolved.
