Development partner for mobile machinery
Do you have the machine, the idea or the ambition for a new function – but need the right expertise or additional development capacity to bring the project all the way to completion?
At Thorsen-Teknik, we act as a development partner for manufacturers of mobile machinery and vehicles.
This can be a single, clearly defined development project, additional capacity for your existing development team, or a long-term collaboration where we follow the project from the first idea through testing, the finished solution and series production.
We never look at the software in isolation.
We look at the entire machine, the task it has to perform and the real-world environment in which the technology must operate.
Development in practice
Software development with an understanding of the machine
When developing technology for mobile machinery, everything is interconnected.
Software must communicate with controllers, sensors and other systems. Functions must match the mechanics of the machine. Communication must work reliably. And the solution must still make sense when the machine is operating in the real world.
That is why our software developers work closely with technicians and project managers who have practical knowledge of the machinery.
Collaboration
We can step in where you need us
You have the specification
We work from your defined requirements and can take responsibility for a specific part of the development project.
You have the machine and the need
You have an existing machine and a function that needs to be developed, integrated or automated.
You have the idea
We provide technical sparring, define the scope and assess how the idea can best be turned into a working solution.
We work with, among other things:
The complete development process
From idea to installation and operation
We can follow the solution all the way through, keeping the same technical understanding in the project from the initial clarification to the finished machine.
01
Idea
Needs, possibilities and technical sparring.
02
Development
Software, functions and system architecture.
03
Integration
Software, electronics and the machine are integrated.
04
Testing
Testinging, adaptation and optimisation in practice.
05
Handover and operation
The solution is followed through to the finished machine.
OEM collaboration
Your product – on your terms
A development partnership with us does not have to be visible to the outside world.
Confidential development partner
Behind your own product and brand
We can work as a confidential development partner, with the solution becoming an integrated part of your machine and your own technology offering.
Ownership, usage rights and responsibilities are defined as part of the project.
Visible technical partner
Development and ongoing support
In other projects, it makes more sense for us to act as a visible technical partner and continue contributing after the development phase.
We adapt the collaboration to your company, product and market.
Mobile machinery
Beyond agriculture
We develop solutions for mobile machinery and work with companies that build machines for demanding environments – both in Denmark and internationally.
We have many years of experience with technology for agricultural machinery. This has given us a strong understanding of mobile machinery, where software, mechanics, electronics, communication and precision must work together under demanding conditions.

Development with a focus on safety and applicable requirements
We develop in accordance with the requirements and standards applicable to mobile machinery – so the solutions are safe, robust and ready for real-world use.
Do you have a project we should take a look at?
You do not need to have all the answers before contacting us.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about OEM projects and collaboration
Do we need a complete specification before contacting you?
No.
You are welcome to contact us even if the project is still at the idea stage.
Some customers come to us with a detailed specification, while others come with a machine, a challenge or an idea for a function they would like to develop.
We can help clarify the possibilities, define the project and determine the technical way forward.
Can you work as part of our local team?
Yes.
We can provide additional development capacity within your existing team, take responsibility for a defined area or handle a larger part of the development project.
The collaboration is adapted to the expertise and capacity you already have in-house.
We have technicians, an experienced project manager and software developers who can supplement your team as required.
Can you support a project all the way to series production?
Yes.
We can be involved from the first idea and technical clarification through development, integration and testing on the machine, and onward to series production.
This means the same technical understanding can follow the project throughout the entire development process.
Do you only work with agricultural machinery?
No.
We have extensive experience from agriculture, but our development expertise is aimed at mobile machinery and vehicles in general.
What types of development projects can you help with?
Our work ranges from minor software changes and new functions to complete control solutions and fully autonomous machines.
We work with CAN and J1939 communication, ISOBUS, machine control, sensors, positioning, integration, automation and autonomous functions, among other areas.
Can you work with our existing hardware and systems?
Yes. In many projects, that is a central part of the work.
We work with integration between software, controllers, sensors, communication and existing machine systems.
Can you help with automation and autonomy?
Yes.
This can range from automating a single machine function to more extensive autonomous solutions.
Who owns the solution you develop?
This is agreed as part of each individual project.
We can develop solutions specifically for the OEM customer, where the customer owns the agreed solution.
Can the collaboration be confidential?
Yes.
We can work as a confidential development partner behind the customer’s own product and brand.
How do you work with safety and standards?
Safety, cybersecurity and relevant standards are considered as an integral part of the development process.
We work in accordance with relevant European requirements and ISO standards.
Can you test the solution directly on the machine?
Yes.
Practical testing is an important part of our development work.
We work closely with the machines the solutions are intended for, so functions can be tested, adjusted and optimised under realistic conditions.
