Transportation Electronic Manufacturing Services

August Electronics > EMS Transportation

Vehicles are used in industries such as consumer automotive, railroad, construction, agriculture, and mining. Safety, reliability, and sturdiness are required for these vehicles used in heavier industries, which are increasingly becoming more connected with Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) and smart safety systems.

Transportation vehicle and industrial equipment manufacturers face the challenge and opportunity to find innovative solutions to combine features of consumer automobiles with the heavy-duty ruggedness, functionality, and reliability demanded in the transportation industries.

TransportationSome of the transportation manufacturing solutions we have developed:

  • Taxi-cab monitoring systems
  • GPS systems and controls
  • Industrial equipment electronic controls for motor drives, engine, and brake systems
  • Driver assistance systems and backup cameras
  • Automatic fare collection systems
  • Automated worker and fleet scheduling systems
  • Power supplies and distribution components
  • Remote monitoring sensors and systems
  • Signalling, alarm systems, and controls
  • Drones and drone control systems

How August can help

We have the right global industry partners and supply chain management expertise to help you strategically access technologies that enable vehicle autonomy, including connectivity, driver assistance systems, electronic log devices, and Human-Machine Interface (HMI).

Our complete electronics manufacturing services allow you to anticipate and efficiently deliver to meet the changing demands of the various transportation industries, such as agricultural, construction, mining, or rail.

With the emergence of smart technology and artificial intelligence, industrial equipment and fleet vehicles are also becoming smarter, IoT-connected, and more efficient. They often use technology such as:

  • CarPlay: Integrates your smartphone with your vehicle’s multimedia unit, enabling access to a range of calling functions and navigation systems through the vehicle’s in-dash display.
  • IOT Connected: Vehicles are using IoT technology to communicate with other IoT-ready devices, obtaining information on traffic and routes, or for fleet and cargo logistics and monitoring.
  • Driver-Assistance Systems: High-precision cameras enable enhanced external vision and driver monitoring. Self-parking systems utilize sensors to detect spacing and automatically determine the moves required to fit into the parking space.
  • HMI (Human-Machine Interface): Intelligent and responsive user interfaces, gesture controls, and head-up displays that make information available to the driver while focused on the road.
  • LightingIntelligent lighting processes and capabilities improve efficiency, safety, and functionality—creative aftermarket lighting components for off-roading, better visibility or illumination, and overall vehicle aesthetics.
