A Game-Changing Solution for OEMs

The patent-pending AEMS electronics system, currently featured in machines such as Bobcat’s Rogue X3, sits inside the vehicle like a compact “bookshelf” holding a configurable controller, DC/DC converter, high-voltage distribution, and single- and dual-axis inverters. This modular, universal system allows OEMs to electrify and automate a broad range of machinery — from 6-ton compact track loaders to 25-ton excavators — with just one standardized part number per module. “AEMS is the most efficient path to achieving electrification, automation, and digitalization goals while slashing the cost and boosting the reliability of producing and servicing next-generation vehicles,” said Dr. Nate Keller, Moog’s Strategic Business Manager. The system’s innovative design uses a high-voltage busbar and shared coolant manifold to reduce cables and hoses by 30%, simplifying assembly, maintenance, and reducing cost. Maintenance teams benefit from on-site, rapid module replacement instead of lengthy vehicle repairs. AEMS also manages multiple electric vehicle functions simultaneously with streamlined software architecture, enhancing performance and reducing power loss.

Streamlining Production and Innovation

By drastically reducing part counts and inventory complexity, OEMs can deploy a single electrification and software platform across vehicle lines, accelerating development timelines and lowering costs. Built-in diagnostics allow consistent system monitoring for traction, steering, lifting, and more across machine platforms. This standardization simplifies supply chain and production processes. “We recently developed a machine for an OEM with AEMS, completing all system programming in under 15 minutes,” Keller added. “AEMS reduces testing and configuration time by up to eight hours and supports over-the-air software updates post-production to add new features seamlessly.” Unlike AEMS, no direct competitor offers an integrated solution; OEMs looking to replicate its capabilities would incur 30% higher component costs and 44% more cabling expenses — still failing to match AEMS’s efficiency. “Such fragmented solutions create ‘Frankenstein’ systems requiring multiple vendors,” Keller explained.

AEMS is part of Moog’s award-winning electrification portfolio, which includes electric traction motors and cylinders for precise control of skid steer, wheel loader, and excavator functions. Previous versions of AEMS have been successfully integrated into iconic machines such as the Bobcat T7X, S7X, Rogue X1, Rogue X2, and CASE 580 EV. Additional OEMs are actively evaluating AEMS for various machine platforms.
