The Next Generation Instrumentation (NGI) system is Ametek VIS's modern modular gauge and instrumentation platform for
building a vehicle's instrument set from CAN-connected components. It is designed to give OEMs a flexible,
configurable way to assemble the exact instrumentation a vehicle needs.
As a modular system, NGI supports rapid configuration and expansion while maintaining a consistent look and
network architecture across the instrument panel.
▶ Does Ametek VIS still offer analog and legacy gauges?
Yes. Alongside its CAN-based digital products, Ametek VIS continues to offer legacy and analog gauges. This supports
customers who prefer traditional gauge styling or who need replacements and continuity for existing vehicle
platforms.
Ametek VIS's long gauge heritage, dating to the Dixson automotive and heavy-truck gauge business founded in 1964,
underpins this continued analog support.
▶ Can Ametek VIS gauges and instruments replace those from other or older systems?
In many cases, yes. Ametek VIS's configurable platforms and long heavy-vehicle heritage allow it to provide gauges and
instrumentation for both current and legacy vehicle programs, including Class 7-8 trucks. Ametek VIS provides dedicated
technical-support resources for Class 7-8 truck products.
For a specific replacement, contact Ametek VIS or an authorized distributor with the vehicle type, existing
instrumentation, and the data sources (such as the CAN network) to identify a suitable solution.
