Lincolnshire, IL – February 24, 2026 – HydraForce today announced a strategic collaboration with Elevāt to launch an integrated suite of intelligent hydraulic and electronic control solutions. This collaboration empowers OEMs in construction, agriculture, forestry, and municipal sectors to transform raw machine data into actionable operational insights, optimizing uptime and overall machine efficiency.
“OEMs are increasingly looking for complete, future-ready solutions that bridge hydraulics, electronics and digital services,” said Russ Schneidewind, director of business development, HydraForce. “This collaboration brings together complementary strengths and an integrated solution that for equipment manufacturers.”
At the heart of this collaboration, HydraForce will leverage its extensive expertise in hydraulic controls and system integration, alongside its robust North American distribution network, to seamlessly integrate the field-proven iTraMs (Intelligent Transport Management Solution) connectivity control unit from Bosch, with Elevāt’s cutting-edge industrial IoT and applied AI technology, Elevat AI Technician Assistant. This integration also extends to the versatile BODAS software platform and its comprehensive suite of advanced sensors and controllers from Bosch Rexroth, creating a unified ecosystem.
“HydraForce will enable OEMs to unlock new levels of machine performance, reliability and serviceability through this collaboration,” added Schneidewind. “Delivering intelligence at the application level is where we see the greatest opportunity for our customers.”
These integrated solutions will be applied across both new production programs and existing fleets. Customers benefit from interoperable, field-proven technologies backed by trusted industrial brands, while maintaining the flexibility to scale globally and evolve their digital capabilities over time.
The scalable, production-ready architecture will enable OEMs to deploy:
- Connected machine intelligence and telematics
- Remote diagnostics, service tools, and over-the-air (OTA) updates
- Preventive maintenance and applied AI services
- Fleet, asset, and lifecycle management
- Secure, OEM-branded digital experiences for dealers and end customers
“By aligning Elevāt’s AI-powered intelligence layer with Bosch’s field-proven iTraMs connectivity control HydraForce is giving OEMs a path to intelligent equipment and recurring digital value,” said Adam Livesay, co-founder and CEO, Elevāt.
The collaboration supports multi-year production programs, with an initial focus on OEM deployments in the United States and Canada. It also enables aftermarket digital services, targeting high-value use cases such as intelligent pumps, mobile equipment service tools, and AI-driven diagnostics.
HydraForce and Elevat will showcase the unified suite of intelligent hydraulics and electronic controls during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, North America’s largest construction industry trade show, March 3-7, 2026 in Las Vegas, NV USA.
