Application of Smart In-Vehicle Industrial All-in-One PC in Dump Trucks

Dump truck, also known as tipper truck, is a type of special vehicle widely used in the fields of logistics and transportation as well as construction engineering. It is mainly designed to carry bulk materials such as gravel, earthwork, coal, and ore. Equipped with hydraulic or mechanical lifting devices, the carriage can automatically tilt to unload goods, saving time and effort. It plays a significant role in short-haul transportation scenarios such as urban infrastructure construction, engineering mining, and resource development.

In the past, the operational efficiency of dump trucks was primarily enhanced through upgrades to their power systems and loading capacity. However, as we entered the 21st century, to align with the global trends of smart manufacturing and industrial automation, and to pursue a more efficient, safer, and smarter transportation experience, dump trucks have begun to adopt intelligent control and management systems.

Industry Application requirement

The in-vehicle industrial all-in-one computer serves as a vital enabler in the smart development of dump trucks. Through the integrated application of hardware and software, it endows dump trucks with intelligent attributes such as human-machine interaction, data processing, and network connectivity. Especially amidst the current trends of automation and unmanned operation in dump trucks, sensor control, positioning, scheduling, and operation of the vehicles can all be integrated and managed on a single touchscreen. Consequently, the in-vehicle industrial all-in-one computer requires robust processing and control capabilities to fulfill these requirements.

On the other hand, the application scenarios of dump trucks are predominantly concentrated in engineering environments such as construction sites, mining quarries, and construction roads, where poor road conditions, excessive dust, flying debris, and intense vibrations pose significant challenges to the hardware stability of vehicle-mounted integrated systems.

Solutions:

Addressing the specific requirements of dump trucks, we introduce the specialized vehicle-mounted S-Series industrial control product line, encompassing a diverse range of offerings including vehicle-mounted displays, ARM-based all-in-ones, and X86-based all-in-ones, providing customers with innovative product application solutions. The key features are outlined below:

Interactive Control:

As the primary interface for dump trucks, the S-Series vehicle-mounted all-in-ones are equipped with a 10.1” high-specification industrial-grade LCD screen that meets IP65 dust and water resistance standards. This display clearly presents real-time status information such as vehicle speed, fluid levels, and load capacity, assisting drivers in making informed operational decisions. The front panel features anti-slip protruding buttons, enabling precise control during vehicle movement.

Data Processing:

Powered by top-tier chipsets from Intel, Rockchip, and more, the S-Series vehicle-mounted all-in-ones incorporate multi-core high-performance processors, delivering formidable computational capabilities. Offering both ARM and X86 architecture options, they are compatible with Windows, Android, Linux, Ubuntu, and various other operating systems. Support for Android-based system customization and development ensures seamless integration with a wide range of industry-specific applications, significantly enhancing the intelligent functionality of dump trucks.

Connectivity & Interoperability:

Unlike passenger vehicles, dump trucks require extensive mechanical coordination in complex environments. The S-Series vehicle-mounted all-in-ones support 3G, 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and other wireless communication technologies, enabling seamless "vehicle-to-backend" connectivity. This allows for remote communication with vehicle control centers, real-time monitoring of transport status, location tracking, and scientific dispatching and maintenance operations.

Environmental Adaptability:

Internally, the S-Series features a sophisticated anti-vibration structure that has passed GB2432 vibration resistance tests. External interfaces utilize aviation-grade connectors for secure attachment, effortlessly withstanding bumpy roads. The fully enclosed aluminum alloy body, coupled with an aluminum extrusion heat dissipation design on the rear cover, supports operation within a wide temperature range (-10°C to 60°C). This ensures stable and efficient operation in high-dust, high-vibration, and extreme temperature environments, enabling 7*24-hour uninterrupted service and enhancing dump truck operational efficiency.

Application Empowerment:

Currently, our S-Series vehicle-mounted products have been widely adopted in various terminals, including industrial special vehicles, high-speed rail trains, inspection vehicles, agricultural special vehicles, marine vessels, and logistics forklifts. We adhere to a scenario-driven approach, deeply understanding and addressing specific needs, fostering self-developed, highly adaptable, and practical products and technologies that truly solve customer application challenges and create value.
