Posted by on
Scale and Control Inc. (SCI) offers a telematics gateway and a database for fleet management purposes. The gateway is also equipped with a CAN Bus interface.
The module offers a dynamic solution for small and large fleet operations. According to SCI, the hardware and software solution will help with reducing maintenance costs. The telematics gateway enables remote monitoring of on-vehicle equipment. It can set alarms and send alerts via email or text to enable immediate action. This includes alarms for over-temperature, low fuel, low oil pressure, and other vehicle data. These parameters are received via the integrated CAN Bus interface. Using the embedded GPS interface, geofencing is possible as well as locating the vehicles. In addition, the gateway is equipped with Wifi and cellular interfaces.
Typical use cases include vehicle tracking, remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, remote vehicle interaction, etc. The telematics database allows analysis of fleet activity and trends, real-time asset location viewable on graphical or satellite maps, configurable screen based on desired data, and much more on site or remotely.
