Modern vehicles are more than just means of transportation – they are data-driven high-tech systems. One of the most exciting developments in this area is predictive maintenance.
What does that mean?
By analyzing sensor data and system values, vehicles can detect potential failures at an early stage. This allows maintenance to be planned proactively rather than reactively – before a defect occurs.
Why is this important?
- Less downtime: Vehicles remain operational for longer.
- Targeted repairs: sources of faults can be precisely localized.
- Cost efficiency: Only serviced when really necessary – no unnecessary visits to the workshop.
Helbako provides the basis for this intelligence in the vehicle.
Our electronic control units for pump and sensor systems continuously supply important measured values – for example on temperatures, pressure ratios or operating times. This data can be used – in higher-level vehicle architectures – for predictive maintenance concepts.
With our many years of experience in hardware and software development, we support OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in implementing smart, connected solutions for greater efficiency and vehicle safety.
Looking ahead:
Artificial intelligence will enable even more precise predictions in the future – we at Helbako are already laying the foundations for this with our technology.
