LMS solutions for off-highway engineering

Off-highway manufacturers must meet tight development schedules and budgets while competing for a customer’s interest and loyalty. Innovative new designs, superior product performance, and ever-shorter time to market are key for long-term success.

But how do you keep up with a steady stream of innovative designs and still assure performance, durability and safety? How can you engineer an excavator, loader, or tractor to deliver superior driver comfort? How do you make sure that every new product complies with increasingly stringent regulations for noise, comfort, and safety?

LMS has enabled many of the leading off-highway manufacturers to develop superior products, dramatically shorten cycle times, and reduce development costs and risks. LMS focuses on mission critical performance attributes including durability, performance optimization, system dynamics, handling, safety, hydraulics and auxiliary integration and comfort and sound quality.

Through a unique combination of testing systems, virtual simulation software and engineering services, LMS can

support you in turning product innovation and superior process efficiency into a strategic advantage.

Performance optimization

Off-highway manufacturers must continuously extend the operating limits of their products. Mining trucks must run faster and steadily increase their loading capacity to improve efficiency. Excavator manufacturers must enhance the reach and agility of their products, and yet maintain optimal safety and stability. Agricultural tractors and machines must cope with tougher operating conditions, while increasing driver comfort.

Durability

LMS is experienced at supporting off-highway OEMs and suppliers in developing components and vehicles with optimal fatigue and strength characteristics, while keeping overall weight and manufacturing costs under control. Co-operating with LMS provides you with the tools and know-how to help ensure your new products are robust to both peak loading and high-cycle fatigue conditions.

Driver comfort

An increasing number of off-highway manufacturers consider optimizing driver comfort as a priority. Reduced interior noise levels and minimal vibrations afford comfortable driving and a pleasant working environment, even in extreme operating conditions. Moreover, regulations and industry norms dictate ever-stringent levels of noise emission and vibration comfort.
