Fortaco SmartCabin
fully flexible, modular control system

Fortaco’s SmartCabin concept is a modular control system that enables a seamless integration of devices from various hardware equipment suppliers, integrating them into one easy-to-use platform. The SmartCabin system integrates features, such as cloud connectivity, infotainment, cabin controls, HVAC, camera systems and displays.


The SmartCabin system speeds up a customer’s design and product development process and significantly reduces the time and costs spent by the customer on product development.

This innovative solution ensures your machines are equipped for the future, giving your business a competitive edge in the market.

Why OEMs choose SmartCabin

Instead of investing in cabin systems development, OEM customers get a ready-made modular control system which is fully customizable.

SmartCabin system reduces costs, R&D efforts and speeds up time-to-market. With integrated functions, future-proof flexibility, and built-in safety, it gives OEMs confidence that their machines will perform reliably and offer operators a safe, modern, and 
user-friendly experience

1

One reliable partner

Fortaco is the first to offer a hardware-independent control system in the off-highway industry market.

2

Lower costs

Preparing to control various functions via CAN or a 
dedicated I/O unit is a cost advantage over existing solutions.

3

Faster time-to-market

Bring a new machine to the market quicker with a cabin system that’s already tested.

4

All functions in one place

SmartCabin integrates multiple displays, such as cabin controls, cameras, and infotainment, into one modern-looking display.

5

Driver safety and comfort

A machine can maneuver in tight environments, which speeds up work, and safety means detecting humans working around the vehicle.

6

Modularity and IoT

Our system is fully configurable. The modification of one function does not trigger changes in all modules. Over-the-air offers upgrades done remotely.

All your cabin needs in one package

Choosing Fortaco SmartCabin brings you ease and simplicity. When a typical off-highway machine requires coding for 300 different functions, consuming a substantial number of R&D efforts, SmartCabin system offers you a specific, yet simple cabin sub-system. It combines cloud connectivity, infotainment, cabin controls, HVAC, camera systems and monitors in one easy-to-use package.

Benefits for OEMs and 
end-customer

OEMs want to cut costs, save time, and reduce cabin system complexity. SmartCabin solves these challenges with a flexible and modular solution.

Cutting R&D effort

Developing a similar system in-house can be expensive and time-consuming. SmartCabin reduces this burden with modular integration possibilities.

Monitoring of a machine

Service connection to the machine control system keeps tyres at right pressure and oil changes are done on time.

After-sales boost

Full visibility into system components: a customer benefits from the online monitoring of components and gets automatic software updates together with component replacement.

Hardware agnostic system

The Fortaco Cloud system is the only hardware-independent solution in the market.
