Aeron offers tilt sensors, inclinometers, and tilt switch solutions for the safety of heavy vehicles, construction equipment and off-road vehicles. These sensors can measure the longitudinal and lateral inclination of the vehicle body with respect to true horizontal (unlike conventional mechanical switches) and give out safety indication or power off the hydraulics, if the vehicle is operating at inclination angles beyond the safe limits.
The Inertial navigation systems (INS) and Inertial measurement units (IMU) offered by Aeron incorporate accelerometers, gyroscopes in case of IMU units and additionally barometer, magnetometer and GPS sensors in INS systems are used to provide semi and fully autonomous capability to driverless and driver-assist vehicles and are used in automotive testing applications.

Farming is a labor intensive activity. Most agricultural activities require some or the other kind of manual intervention. Plowing is no exception.While the use of tractors has transformed the way plowing is done, the tractors still need a human driver to control them. While people are migrating to cities, there is a dearth of human labor in these remote farm locations.

Professionals like architects, engineers, surveyors, and contractors working in the construction industry always keep with them a comprehensive toolkit for carrying out different measurements on site. Of all the parameters that need to be measured on site during design as well as construction phases, alignment and level are very critical ones.

Gyroscopes are the most important part of an inertial navigation system or any guidance system. Gyroscopes were invented a century ago and have been used as references to know the inertial state of a moving body. From Kettering bug to the Apollo spacecraft, the quality of gyro has determined the performance of the overall mission. It has been a factor behind ‘make or break’ of the many missions.

An invention of fossil fuel powered vehicles brought about a big shift in our lives. Faster and convenient transportation has improved productivity and has led to accelerated growth in every sector. The focus is now shifting from manned to unmanned transportation. Research has really picked up in the past few years and unmanned vehicles are being used for a variety of critical applications. As the technology evolves, unmanned vehicles are expected to be replacing human-driven vehicles.

Trucks with tipping bodies find their use in numerous applications, mostly relating to mining, transporting or moving minerals, cement, coal, construction material, sand, etc. from one place to another. For instance, a dumper truck will use body tipping to unload the goods. While some vehicles use simple tipping, few other applications require more complex forms of tipping such as three-way tipping.

A large number of vehicles and equipment like dumper trucks, trucks with tipping bodies and cranes are used in construction industry. The application for which these equipment are used, involves loading, unloading or transporting construction material. It is highly recommended to use a tilt sensor or a tilt switch on these vehicles or equipment for safe operation.
