Beyond Standard Components: See MOBA’s Flexible OEM Technology at iVT Expo Chicago
For equipment manufacturers, finding a sensor, controller, or display that meets a specification is only part of the challenge. The harder question is often: How well will that technology actually integrate into the machine?
At iVT Expo Chicago 2026, MOBA will showcase a different approach to OEM technology—one built around flexibility, engineering collaboration and the ability to adapt proven technology to the specific requirements of an OEM application.
Visit MOBA in Hall F, Stand 445 to explore sensors, control technology, HMI solutions and new concepts designed specifically for mobile machinery and demanding OEM applications.
When Off-the-Shelf Isn’t Quite the Right Fit
Many component suppliers operate around a fixed catalog. An OEM selects the closest available sensor, controller, or interface and then engineers the machine around the limitations of that component.
MOBA offers another option.
With engineering, development and manufacturing capabilities within the MOBA organization, we can work directly with OEM engineering teams to determine how an existing technology can be adapted to better fit the application.
That can mean modifying a proven platform, adapting interfaces or communication requirements, developing application-specific software, changing mechanical integration, or combining multiple technologies into a more complete system.
The goal is simple: create a better drop-in solution for the OEM rather than forcing the OEM to redesign around a standard component.
For manufacturers developing new equipment—or updating an existing platform—that flexibility can help simplify integration, reduce development challenges, and create a solution that feels as if it was designed for the machine from the beginning.
Sensors Are Only the Beginning
MOBA has decades of experience developing technology for mobile machinery, including solutions that operate every day in construction, agriculture, lifting, waste management, and other demanding applications.
At iVT, OEM engineers can explore technologies including:
- Inclination and positioning sensors
- Ultrasonic sensing technology
- Controllers and control electronics
- Rugged display platforms
- Customizable HMI solutions
- CAN-based components
- Signaling and operator communication systems
- Machine control and automation technology
- Integrated hardware and software solutions
These technologies can be used individually or combined as part of a larger system.
That distinction is important.
MOBA isn’t limited to supplying the individual components inside a machine. Our experience as a system integrator gives our engineers a broader understanding of how sensors, controllers, HMIs, communications, and software must work together in real-world applications.
From Component Supplier to Engineering Partner
OEM development rarely fits neatly inside a product catalog.
Different machines have different mechanical constraints, communication architectures, environmental requirements, and operator expectations. Even when an existing technology provides the necessary functionality, its standard configuration may not be ideal for the application.
MOBA can work directly with an OEM’s engineering team to bridge that gap.
Instead of starting every project with a completely new design, we can leverage proven technology and determine how to modify, configure, or integrate it to meet the application’s requirements.
This approach gives OEMs access to established technology while maintaining the flexibility necessary to differentiate their machines.
And because MOBA supports development from engineering through manufacturing, solutions can be designed with production and scalability in mind from the beginning.
See DUAL-LINK: Power and Data Without a Traditional Connector
One of the innovative concepts on display at iVT demonstrates exactly the kind of engineering MOBA brings to mobile machinery.
MOBA DUAL-LINK uses inductive technology to transfer both electrical power and data without a traditional hard-wired connector between the two components.
Traditional plug connections can become vulnerable points on mobile equipment. Dirt, moisture, vibration, repeated connection cycles, and mechanical stress can contribute to wear, connection problems, and maintenance needs.
DUAL-LINK takes a different approach.
Using inductive transmission, power and bidirectional data communication can cross the connection without exposed electrical contacts. The concept can eliminate the need for a traditional physical plug connection in applications where components need to connect, disconnect, or operate in demanding environments.
For OEM engineers, the possibilities go well beyond eliminating a cable.
The technology could simplify the use of interchangeable attachments or components, reduce connector wear, improve reliability in harsh environments, and create entirely new approaches to machine design.
It is also a good example of what visitors will find at the MOBA booth: not simply another catalog of components, but technologies and engineering concepts that can help OEMs rethink how their machines are built.
Bring Us Your Application
The most valuable conversation at iVT may not start with one of our products.
It may start with your machine.
Bring MOBA’s engineers the application, integration challenge, or idea you’re working on. Whether you need a sensor that better fits an existing machine architecture, a customized HMI, an integrated control solution, or technology for an entirely new equipment platform, our team can help determine the right path forward.
Sometimes that means selecting an existing MOBA component.
Sometimes it means modifying one.
And sometimes it means developing something new.
That flexibility is what separates a component supplier from an OEM technology partner.
