Staying in Control
with the Volvo Excavator EC350D’s
Human Machine Interface
Executing digging operations for multiple projects will require your drivers to stay and operate an excavator for hours to complete the work. These long hours inside the excavator can lead to chronic pains and health risks when poor body posture is kept for periods at a time. This is why Volvo has designed its excavators to provide maximum comfort to its users. By prioritizing the comfort of your operators, Volvo ensures that the productivity of your business is sustained.
Volvo has ergonomically designed its Excavator EC350D for easy control panel reach. Keep reading to learn more about the Human Machine Interface (HMI) that will help your business stay productive.
Ergonomically Designed
Sitting for long periods of time while keeping awkward body positionings can lead to worker discomfort. Once combined with the vibration of the heavy machinery, it can lead to driver fatigue and thus, costly mistakes. In addition to that, it lessens the breaks workers take to stretch their bodies to combat stiffness.
These risks are what drove Volvo to design an ergonomic interface that prioritizes the comfort of each of your operators. By focusing on the optimal working conditions of your drivers, you also ensure a safer project area. Each Volvo Excavator EC350D is intuitively made to maximize comfort and productivity.
Maximum Efficiency
The Human Machine Interface (HMI) gives your operators the space to perform efficiently all day long. It gives your operators easy access to vital information about the machine that can help keep it in peak condition. Maneuverable joysticks and easy-to-reach buttons allow for quicker machine operations and operator comfort.
The Volvo Excavator EC350D’s Electronic Control Unit (I-ECU) also displays the following information about the machine for its operators:
- Engine oil/filter levels
- Fuel filter/water separator levels
- Hydraulic oil levels
- Hydraulic oil filter
This feature doesn’t just allow your drivers to see the current working conditions of the machine, but it also helps them pace the machine’s capabilities when its limit is being reached and the job is far from done. Additionally, it can alert your company to schedule routine maintenance in advance so you can effectively plan out your timetable.
Conveniently located behind the I-ECU is the rearview camera display of the excavator. This placement gives your operators the confidence to safely manipulate the machine because they’re aware of their surroundings.
Optimal Control
Volvo has utilized touchscreens to provide an easier handling experience for its users. This was designed to give your drivers a cleaner working area because there’s no need for additional peripherals. Using touch technology also provides a more user-friendly experience for your console operators. Large icons have been used for improved accuracy and interactive design. An anti-glare feature was also added for console clarity even when the sun is at its brightest.
Precise Operations
The Volvo Excavator EC350D’s intelligently designed control panels give your operators the information they need to complete projects safely, comfortably, and efficiently.
