What is Digital Switching?
Digital switching replaces traditional relay and fuse-heavy wiring with a Centralised control system. Instead of running individual circuits across the vehicle, switching is managed through a structured network of control modules.
The result is a cleaner build, fewer failure points, simplified fault-finding, and an operator interface that can be customised to suit the platform.
At Kraken X, we design digital switching systems that are engineered for real-world conditions and delivered in a way that remains serviceable long after handover.
