Operator Interfaces

Maxima’s instrumentation cover a wide range of "operator interfaces", from custom-engineered J1939/CAN instrument clusters and displays to standard gauges.

DISPLAYS
Maxima's displays are configured either in J1939/CAN or analog formats. Displays may be custom-engineered for particular OEM applications, e.g. to fit onto the vehicle's "A" pillar,  or implemented as a  “standard” solution to reduce start-up costs.

Custom displays are conceived and developed using the same process as clusters:

  • Explore concepts using renderings to obtain inputs from dealers and end-users
  • Benchmark alternatives and establish suitable targets (i.e. Design-to-Targets)
  • Develop Subsystem Design Specification (SDS) as complement to OEM’s specification
  • Create 3-D models in Pro-E; obtain concept units 

Coming in 2009: MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD™) 
Maxima's Multi-Function Display (MFD™) is an all-in-one “command center”—it’s field-programmable, and capable of processing analog inputs:

  • Large, easy-to-read LCD
  • Intuitive menu controls, with LED for all systems OK/caution/warning
  • Easy-to-install
  • Sealed, integral connectors
  • High-impact, weather-resistant enclosure with unique sunshield
  • Lightweight; occupies small area
  • TOTALLY SEALED FOR ALL-WEATHER USE

OPERATOR INFORMATION & CONTROL SYSTEM
Maxima can turn your display into a "command center".  Our "Operator Information & Control Systems" (OICS) combine data acquisition and operator display functions with embedded machine control in one package to provide a powerful, cost-effective solution for OEMs.  For example, we can integrate the transmission controller into the display, thus enabling the OEM to eliminate a separate costly part.  Or, we can integrate speed control, thereby preventing potentially damaging over-revs.  In effect, Maxima's OICS provides an all-in-one, real-time multiplexed operating system to ensure a high degree of value-add.
