FREEDOM for Haul Trucks

Our open-architecture FREEDOM for Haul Trucks solution uses familiar FLANDERS controls with AC drop-in replacements to bring DC trucks into the 21st century.

  • Increase traction control. All-wheel speed sensing and an AC controller limit traction slip, mimicking ABS in a standard automobile and keeping the truck on a straight path.
  • Implement advanced HMI and eliminate “the black box.” See all the inner workings of truck operation in real time and historically with a 24/7 running data recorder for all truck signals.
  • Monitor bearings and windings. FREEDOM tracks vibration and temperature trends to show you when traction motors will need predictive maintenance to ensure safety and performance.
  • Improve user interfaces. The interactive diagnostic dashboard for operators and maintenance personnel allows for increased visibility into truck performance.

FREEDOM also serves as the foundation of major electric shovel upgrades, to improve the other half of your truck-and-shovel operation.
