John Deere, Moline, Ill., is expanding the versatility of its electronic controls by working with software supplier New Eagle, Ann Arbor, Mich., to offer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) an open-platform solution for their specialized applications that integrates hardware with a streamlined software solution.
Called the M Series controllers, they are now available with New Eagle Raptor software, which is based on embedded Model-Based Design (eMBD). When integrated with the company’s M Series controllers, Raptor is designed to shorten the development cycle for OEMs and lead to a reduction in costs and time to market.
“The addition of New Eagle Raptor software to our M Series controllers gives our OEM customers a comprehensive control system solution that was not offered before. Our customers push the limits of mechanical durability and need a rugged and reliable solution on the job site that can provide critical machine control functions,” said Dan Dougherty, sales and marketing leader for electronic systems, John Deere.
