Consat BEA – A simplified and adaptable vehicle electrical system
The BEA (Body Electronics Architecture) Multiplex System, developed by Consat in close collaboration with AB Volvo, is an advanced electrical system for heavy vehicles like buses, boats, and specialty machinery. It utilises multiplex technology to consolidate signals onto a single cable, simplifying installation and modifications.
With programmable hardware modules interconnected through a CAN (Controller Area Network) interface, BEA enables seamless communication between subsystems. Its software-driven functionality also allows for customisable solutions tailored to specific vehicle needs, ensuring adaptability and scalability for any application.
Consat BEA is a modular multiplex system built to simplify vehicle electronics and support scalable, customised solutions for heavy-duty applications.
Tailored for heavy vehicles like buses, boats, and specialty machinery, BEA simplifies installations and modifications, reducing costs and time-to-market. Benefit from seamless integration, optimised performance, and ongoing innovation, and ensure your vehicles remain ahead of the curve.
Streamlined system with effective development and implementation
BEA consolidates signals onto a single cable, reducing complex wiring harnesses and connectors. This simplification minimises installation errors and labour costs, leading to faster development and deployment.
A simplified installation process, along with efficient development practices, results in fewer components and lower labour requirements. These efficiencies contribute to quicker returns on investment.
Support from Consat ensures the smooth integration of BEA into existing vehicle architectures. With our guidance and expertise, the development process becomes more streamlined — reducing time to market for new vehicle models or upgrades.
A system with hardware and software that optimises efficiency and reliability
BEA’s seamless communication between subsystems enhances overall system efficiency and reliability. This integration ensures that all components work together harmoniously, reducing the risk of compatibility issues or performance bottlenecks.
The software is equipped with features and automations that optimise system performance, resulting in smoother operation and improved user satisfaction. These capabilities add extra value for end-users by elevating the overall vehicle experience.
Consat drives ongoing innovation, ensuring our partners remain at the forefront of technology. With continuous research and development, we bring the latest in multiplexing, software, and industry best practices to your vehicle systems.
A tailored and flexible solution that works for the long term
BEA’s programmable hardware modules enable tailored systems that meet specific vehicle design requirements. This customisation ensures that the system aligns seamlessly with the vehicle’s architecture, optimising performance and functionality.
Thanks to its flexibility, in both hardware and software, BEA can easily adapt as requirements change over time. This makes it a future-proof solution that accommodates changes in technology, regulations, or preferences without requiring costly redesigns or replacements.
Consat provides ongoing support and collaboration beyond the initial implementation phase, offering guidance on updates, enhancements and optimisations.
