What CrossControl does

CrossControl, headquartered in Alfta, Sweden, develops and manufactures ruggedized display computers, I/O controllers, and wireless modules for the human-machine interface (HMI) and onboard computing needs of industrial vehicle OEMs. Founded in 1991, the company sells the CCpilot display family spanning 3.5" to 14.1" sizes across a Vision line (iMX8/ARM-based, sizes 3.5"–12") and an Extreme line (Intel x86-based, 9"–14.1" for harsh environments), plus the CrossFire family of safety-certified I/O controllers (CrossFire SX, IX) and CrossLink wireless/telematics modules. The hardware is unified by Linx, an open Linux/Qt-based software platform providing UX Designer, CODESYS soft-PLC, Web Engine, Fieldbus Access, window manager, Docker, and cybersecurity modules built on the proprietary CC Linux operating system.

CrossControl serves OEMs across eight primary verticals: agriculture (including the CCI-1200 ISOBUS terminal for the Grimme/Krone/Kuhn/Lemken/Rauch consortium), construction, material handling, forestry, marine, mining, transport, and utility. Customers include named enterprises such as Grimme, Krone, Kuhn, Lemken, Rauch, AGCO Suomi, and various system integrators like ProDevice Oy, Mobile Integrator Sweden AB, B-Plus GmbH, e-GITS GmbH, and Sioux Technologies. Newer Vision line displays (CCpilot V1000, V1200) carry inherent AI support for object detection, and the platform supports CRA-compliant secure updates and SBOM generation.

The business model is B2B with three revenue streams: hardware sales of displays, controllers, and wireless modules; software licensing via Linx and CC Linux; and engineering services including custom product development, application development, and field application engineering. CrossControl distributes exclusively through a global network of system integrators and resellers covering 20+ countries and 100+ end-markets, with no direct-to-OEM sales model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. In April 2026, CrossControl was acquired by Scanreco Group, with Priveq joining as a minority shareholder; the combined entity operates with approximately 600 employees and SEK 1.4 billion in annual revenue.
