Steering column control module & switches-
At G Square Techsystems, we conduct thorough analyses of steering column system performance, with a particular emphasis on structural integrity and ergonomic functionality. Leveraging simplified algorithms and statistical methods, we extrapolate trends and optimize comfort ranges to establish clear quantitative targets. Expanding on this analysis, we tackle torque fluctuation and ergonomic comfort challenges in Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPVs) under the ESSA architecture. Furthermore, we employ a modular development approach for all vehicle types operating under ESSA architecture, ensuring that our steering column systems not only meet performance standards but also maximize universality across platforms.
Switches
Automotive switches play a crucial role within vehicle systems, governing functions like lighting, climate control, power windows, mirrors, and wipers. They come in various designs, including toggle, push button, and rotary switches, catering to a wide array of needs. Several factors drive the market for automotive switches. Notably, there is a surge in demand for advanced vehicle features such as automated driving and safety systems, which heavily rely on sophisticated switch technology. Additionally, the increasing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles amplifies the need for automotive switches due to their heightened electrical requirements compared to traditional vehicles.
Furthermore, technological advancements have fueled market growth, enabling the development of more advanced and efficient switch technology. Innovations like micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and other cutting-edge solutions have resulted in the creation of smaller, more precise switches, raising reliability and efficiency standards. At G Square Techsystems, we navigate these trends to deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of automotive switches.
