Next generation on-board telematics launched
The wireless ECU is a fully integrated component in a vehicle’s electronic architecture capable of interfacing with any other component through standard communication protocols. Vehicle data can easily be interfaced with dealer and fleet management systems providing features ranging from mapping, tracking & control to operational reports and service management. With the built-in GPS, a remote operator such as a fleet management central now has full control over each vehicle’s position allowing not only for more efficient fleet management but also control features such as virtual geo fencing and time fencing where each vehicle’s operations can be controlled in time and space.
The customizable operational reports include any data available on each vehicle’s utilization. The real-time reports include data such as fuel consumption, machine utlization and vehicle health and opens up for usage based preventive and predictive maintenance as well as driver abuse detection. The alarm function triggered by the vehicle or operator can provide important safety functions when operating in remote areas.
The second generation of the wireless ECU, W-ECU2, is a versatile communication node, upgraded to support more memory allowing extensive data processing capabilities. It now also contains an integrated battery backup for stand-alone operations. The W-ECU2 is certified for wireless communications in almost 100 countries and can be fitted with an optional satellite modem for communication in remote areas.
