Dana technology enhances AWP security

With over 20 years of experience in designing and producing a wide range of drive products, Derner has helped OEMs produce products that meet platform design, load sensing, dynamic terrain sensing, safety requirements and other global safety standards for AWP. . For example, Dana now offers a 32-bit Brevini® controller that uses the joystick for smooth, precise control, including non-linear behavior, with many adjustable parameters.

In addition, Dana is transforming the Spicer® Smart SuiteTM Intelligent Load Monitoring System (ILMS) to make it suitable for AWP. The system is now available for pre-production testing by vehicle manufacturers. It uses patented proprietary data collection technology throughout the vehicle to prevent rollover accidents, predict static loads, and provide intelligent calibration management.

The Spicer Smart Suite ILMS alerts the operator to potential tipping, reducing the risk of vehicle failure, increasing productivity and accuracy, and enhancing the long-term durability of the drive train.
