STW Releases ‘5 Facts You Should Know About the Future of Off-Highway Controls Technology’

NORCROSS, Ga. - April 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Norcross, Ga. STW Technic, a premier manufacturer of mobile controllers and measurement technology, today released a targeted paper ‘5 Facts You Should Know About the Future of Off-Highway Controls Technology’ for engineers working with installations and vehicles that work in rough off-highway conditions.

Off-Highway Control Engineers must work with challenging, harsh environments such as blizzards, storms, rogue waves and rugged terrain. The challenge is to balance critical safety and reliability parameters with the rapidly evolving trends and technologies, such as Big Data and Telematics. The paper (http://www.stw-technic.com/papers/) provides a practical look at key factors and options engineers should think of while choosing the right controls and telematics technology for their off-highway vehicles and installations.

The paper is based on STW’s many years of experience in working with a wide array of industry leaders in mining, agriculture, construction, oil and gas and transportation, and is a practical starting point for decisions around off-highway controls technology and telematics. The paper is available for free on STW’s website (www.stw-technic.com).

Says Bob Geiger, President, STW , “One of STW’s key values is to give back to our customers targeted best practices we learn from working with many different companies across different industries and countries. This paper encapsulates some of the trends we see in the industry and practical learning from the field.”
