SafetyTouch: an evolutionary transformation in safe operation

The integration of SafetyTouch represents an evolutionary milestone in machine operation, particularly in agricultural and commercial vehicles. Until now, user interfaces have been limited in terms of safe input by conventional control mechanisms, often resulting in limited user experience. SafetyTouch, on the other hand, enables safety-related user input via intuitive touchscreen displays. The presentation deals with the challenges of realization and integration and the benefits of using safe touchscreens. Replacing traditional control elements with touchscreen displays not only increases flexibility but also simplifies user interaction, resulting in higher productivity and efficiency. With SafetyTouch, the industry is heading toward a transformation where safety and efficiency as well as intuitive and flexible operation are seamlessly combined, setting a new benchmark in the control of off-highway machinery.
