ICT applications often require manufacturers to design robust and resilient vehicles that meet the performance demands of harsh and rugged environments — whether tractor-trailers climbing steep hills or farm equipment toiling hard land. This is further compounded by the need to operate in harsh conditions such as heavy rain, snow and extreme temperature change on a daily, if not 24/7 basis.
Designing ICT machinery to handle these performance demands requires equally rugged and reliable component parts. But that’s not all. Major market needs around safety, connectivity and efficiency are also impacting manufacturing specifications in the ICT space.

Looking together at these various performance demands, as well as current and emerging market trends, there remains fundamental common denominators that cut across the ICT manufacturing landscape:
Design engineers must address the sealing, vibration and temperature challenges associated with manufacturing all types of ICT vehicles. This means choosing protective products that can work within increasingly complex designs, as well as withstand the harsh environments inherent to ICT vehicle operation.
Increasingly, it also means ICT manufacturers must choose a component provider that not only understands current and future market demands but offers a breadth of products that address a range of needs and are backed by decades of superior performance and reliability.
