In telematics, real-time access to and analysis of vehicle data is crucial. At the heart of this process is the Controller Area Network (CAN), a communication protocol that allows various vehicle components to share information. CAN networks are essential for collecting data such as engine performance, fuel consumption, and more, enabling telematics companies to optimize fleet management.
However, raw data from CAN networks requires specialized decoding, and this is where our FMS Gateway devices come into play. These devices connect to the CAN network using a direct, non-intrusive method, converting raw data into standardized, usable parameters. This standardization is vital for managing mixed fleets consisting of different types of vehicles.
To further optimize this process, our Gateway devices are integrated with a comprehensive CAN decoding database that currently supports over 2,500 vehicles across five main vehicle categories (car, van, bus, truck, agricultural).
Key benefits of FMS Gateway Devices with integrated database
Accurate data: Direct access to the CAN network and the extensive vehicle database ensures that the collected data is highly accurate and reliable.
Efficient data transmission: The combination of Gateway devices and the database allows for seamless, real-time data transmission, essential for effective fleet tracking and management.
Mixed fleet management: The integrated database supports a wide range of vehicle types, enabling telematics companies to manage mixed fleets easily. This capability ensures data consistency and simplifies fleet management operations.
Simplified Operations: By providing access to standardized data for various vehicles, the database simplifies the complexity of managing different vehicle types and protocols.
The seamless integration of CAN networks with Gateway devices and a robust CAN decoding database effectively supports modern telematics. This integration provides telematics companies with the tools necessary for efficient mixed fleet management, ensuring accurate, standardized data across a wide range of vehicles.
