Telematics
Advanced, yet rugged communication products and services that give you efficient logistics, reduced maintenance, and cost control.
Reporting, monitoring, and controlling machine operations through telematics promises to revolutionize heavy machinery-based industries.
The benefits are efficient logistics, reduced maintenance, and cost control. Our systems integrate advanced communication technologies, such as CAN, Cellular, Satellite, and GPS into a sophisticated network that meets your specialized needs. With our standard telemetry products and customized design services option, we can provide a system that fits your specific needs – all with components that are designed and manufactured to withstand severe temperature, vibration, and sealing requirements.
Track and Trace
These core functions involve using a wireless communications gateway on a piece of equipment with little or no interaction with that equipment. Simple, hard-wired inputs can be made available to collect additional information and report it as required. This can enable:
- Location tracking
- Usage tracking
- Fleet driver management
Machine Monitoring
Building upon core functions, the addition of machine monitoring capabilities includes receiving information from an on-board data bus (typically CAN ) and enabling access to significant machine information, including:
- Alerts
- Machine performance
- Diagnostic trouble codes
Productivity and Control
Requiring extensive integration with other components on the machine, this level of integration enables information to be received and sent to a machine and/or operator. This sophisticated interaction makes it possible for machines to receive and react to incoming information, including:
- Machine guidance and control
- Remote diagnostic and repair sessions
- Automated job site coordination
Custom Design
You don’t have to settle for a “boxed” solution. We have the design experience, existing hardware, and industry relationships that form the building blocks you need. Working together, we can quickly create a reliable telematics system in a variety of ways. Here are some examples:
- Supplying only your hardware needs
- Working with the application partner of your choice to provide a complete solution
- Delivering a complete, integrated system to you by working with one of our preferred solution partners
You remain in control of proprietary data and the key intellectual property that differentiates your products. In the process, you can get what you really want – a rugged, dependable, cost-effective solution that fits your needs.

Electronic Controls
Built to Work – Built to Last
Our customers push the limits of our mechanical durability, with expectations of reliable operation in severe heat and extreme cold, harsh chemical vapors, and direct exposure to water, dirt, dust, and rock. Our hardware and software engineering teams use proven production/design libraries to build dependable products that monitor a wide array of common and custom I/O parameters, provide for load control and protection, as well as multiplex networking using distributed and discreet architectures, such as CAN , SAEJ1708 and SAEJ1939 standards.
Capabilities
We enhance our products mechanically by using our automated conformal coating equipment and full potting capabilities to ensure product survival in the worst conditions. Our unique, patented electronic packaging technology provides improved sealing and component density, so our control modules are waterproof, dust-proof and thermally protected. These units are able to survive the harshest environments while efficiently managing thermal loads from high-current electrical solid-state switching devices.
