From hydraulics to human: Why smart interfaces are the next frontier in electrohydraulic equipment
21 Aug 2025
Room 2
NFPA - Advanced Hydraulics Conference - day 2
As the industry advances toward automation, one critical link is often overlooked: the operator. This presentation explores how the shift to electrohydraulic systems opens new possibilities for smarter, safer and more intuitive machine control – if we design with the human in mind. By combining a technical overview of electric-over-hydraulic systems with real-world insights into HMI design, the presentation will show how putting the operator at the center of innovation can reduce error, increase productivity and futureproof mobile equipment. Smart HMI isn’t just a UX upgrade – it’s a strategic enabler for the next generation of hydraulic performance.
- See how smart HMIs optimize control in electrohydraulic mobile machinery
- Learn how operator-centered design improves safety & uptime
- Discover techniques to guide inexperienced operators through complex hydraulic functions
- Understand how real-time data and trends support more efficient machine use
