Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We specialize in tailoring hardware and software to meet specific vehicle requirements, facilitating seamless integration with your unique machinery.

Absolutely. Our engineers work directly with your design team to select and configure the ideal solution based on your I/O and environmental needs.

To provide an accurate estimate, we look for information such as application type, estimated annual volume, I/O requirements, and any specific CAN bus or power requirements you have. Reach out to us, and we’ll discuss what information we need to provide an accurate estimate.

Yes, HED has system-level expertise and can help you design and integrate a complete electronic control system that balances performance, reliability, and system complexity across your machine’s platform. Use the form on this page to request a systemarchitecture review.

We are solely focused on serving mobile equipment OEMs. Our controls are purpose-built for construction, utility, material handling, and specialty vehicle markets, where off-the-shelf components often fail.

Mechanical switches still work well in many applications. The reason many OEMs are transitioning is that electronic controls can add capabilities mechanical systems simply can’t — like diagnostics, CAN communication, configurable functions, and reduced wiring complexity. The goal isn’t to replace proven engineering practices. It’s to create more
reliable, capable, and future-ready machines.

Yes, all HED modules are designed for seamless integration into standard CAN bus architectures and operate across standard J1939 CAN or CANopen systems to simplify vehicle communication.
