Mobilizing Our Broad Range of Solutions
Product Highlights
For over twenty years, we have designed and manufactured vehicle driving controls to provide mobility to individuals with high-level disabilities. Our systems have also been utilized in unmanned military vehicles. Typical systems are integrated packages of both primary (accelerator/brakes/steering) and secondary controls (such as lights, windows and accessories)
Market
- Automotive
- Defense
Lifecycle Stages
From complete electrical and mechanical design through contract manufacturing. End products are highly configurable, composed of multiple controls and input devices that require a system level approach to design and manufacturing. Design services also include system re-fresh, with products currently at third generation architecture.
Key Challenges
- Mobility conversions are inherently difficult, requiring sophisticated programming of controllers to replicate the typical driving experience
- Each vehicle OEM has a different electrical architecture, and none provide aftermarket suppliers with any technical data, schematics, or other guidance that might help develop system interfaces
- Enercon needed to obtain, teardown, study and re-engineer products for each new OEM platform (new vehicle model or modified electrical system)
