Intelligent ECU solutions for heavy machinery and vehicles from Atlantik Elektronik
08. January 2026 | Planegg
Modern and intelligent ECU platforms by Atlantik Elektronik enable heavy construction and agricultural equipment as well as other off highway machinery to be functional, connected, and future ready. The industrial grade units can be used as compact control units, powerful domain controllers or autonomous high performance compute platforms in construction, agriculture, mining, logistics and material handling applications.
Qualcomm Technologies' compute architectures offer real-time control, sensor fusion, perception capabilities and AI-powered assistance, among other features, ensuring that even complex tasks such as autonomous driving functions, fleet coordination, predictive maintenance and intelligent workflows can be reliably performed within the machine or vehicle itself. In cooperation with ThunderSoft and ThunderX, suitable operating systems and software stacks can be integrated on the ECU platforms. Together with SOMs, connectivity modules, cameras, sensors, SDKs, reference designs and FOX telematics gateways from Lantronix, Atlantik Elektronik provides the building blocks for scalable equipment monitoring, remote tracking and control. Long term availability and stable supply concepts support sustainable lifecycle planning for OEMs and equipment manufacturers.
Powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ9 Series, the ECUs combine versatile computing architectures, strong processing performance, integrated AI, robust connectivity and functional safety. Up to 100 dense TOPS of on-device AI performance, extended temperature ranges from -40°C to +115°C and a separated MCU like subsystem with ECC memory ensure reliability and machine uptime even in harsh environments. This enables real time control, sensor fusion, perception and AI based assistance directly in the machine so that functions such as autonomous and assisted driving, driver assistance and collision warning, route planning, fleet management, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance can be executed on board.
