Smart Sensors for Work Vehicles
Whether it is an industrial machine or a mobile on-road/off-road machine, sensors are a key to how a machine functions. These sensors provide constant feedback to determine if a machine is operating within specification.
With mobile machines, sensors provide information to your machine controller such as has the operator properly leveled the machine before operating, has a boom reached full extension, is it about to collide with another machine, is your oil contaminated, and the list goes on.
They are the eyes and ears of your machine. Which is why it’s crucial to have the right sensor for your mobile machine.
Creating Smart Mobile Machines
Performance and safety are two of the most important considerations when it comes to machine control systems. And in order to achieve optimal performance and functional safety, the right sensor is necessary.
Integration of these sensors (such as vision) can be complex. For assistance in selecting the right product for your application, contact a Cross mobile systems integration expert to discuss your machine requirements.
Our experts can work with your team to develop a complete solution to ensure that you have the right equipment, working together, to improve your machine performance and productivity.
Heavy Duty Sensors
With a mobile machine, sensors can be subjected to very difficult environmental conditions such as high and low temperatures, extreme vibration, and severe weather. They can be required to operate at low voltage, especially during engine cranking conditions.
Sometimes they need to have digital output signals, analog output signals, or possibly even communicate via CAN (CANopen and/or J1939).

Frequently Asked Questions
Work vehicle sensors are intelligent sensors that are used to control and monitor the fluid pressure, temperature, and other critical operations in work machines. Whether on-road or off-road, sensors are a key part of managing mobile machine performance and planned maintenance.
To simplify, sensors in general convert some kind of stimuli (eg, light, heat, sound, etc) into electrical signals which are interpreted and reported. Therefore they are able to monitor a wide variety of different functions and can be deployed to different locations on the work vehicle as needed.
In the majority of cases, sensors need some kind of power supply to function. This power supply can come in many different forms, however. At Cross, we make sure that the sensors being put into place are able to be seamlessly integrated with your machine for optimal performance.
Why Cross Mobile Vehicle Sensors?
Sensors are how your machine sees the world around it. They can prevent unexpected collisions, reduce worker injury, and save manufacturers the cost of repair (or downtime). Which is why it’s important to not only have a sensor, but have the right sensor for your machine.
A sensor that is able to operate in the work environment and under necessary conditions to get the job done. That’s something we can provide.
Our experts can work with your team to develop a complete mobile control solution to ensure that you have the right equipment, working together, to improve your machine performance and productivity.
If your machine isn’t operating the way you need it to, we can help. A Cross mobile system sensor expert will take a look at your mobile work vehicle and find the best solution for your production process and your bottom line.
