Fleet Tracking & GPS Monitoring
We build high-frequency GPS logging hardware and OBD-II / CAN-bus diagnostic tracking nodes that send live location, fuel status, and driver habits to your backend servers.
Fleet Operational Problems
Logistics operators face significant issues with fleet visibility and wear:
- Fuel Siphoning: Unmonitored fuel drops and theft on remote routes.
- Engine Abuse: Hard braking and high engine speeds damage fleet vehicles.
- Location Lag: Tracking intervals of minutes fail during transit.
- Dead Zones: Losing vehicle data in areas without cell service.
Thinkfinity Connected Telemetry
We deploy tracking nodes with live data streams and local backup buffers:
- Fuel Sensor Integration: RS485 fuel level sensor hooks with 1% accuracy.
- OBD-II CAN Logger: Pulls engine speeds, cooling temperature, and error codes.
- Real-Time Logging: High-frequency GPS logging with smart angle updates.
- Local Flash Buffer: Buffers up to 100,000 logs when offline, syncing automatically when cell connection returns.
System Architecture
How the Fleet System Connects
Our fleet tracking solution uses a multi-layered topology for reliable location reporting:
- GNSS + Cell Node: Collects GPS, GLONASS, and CAN engine diagnostics, packing coordinates and error codes into encrypted binary chunks.
- Cellular Gateway: Streams packets via LTE-M or NB-IoT connections using MQTT with TLS encryption.
- Broker & Analytics: Streams data to your telemetry backend or Zoho CRM for dashboard visualizations and SMS alerts.
Hardware Elements
- - Quectel BG95 LTE-M/NB-IoT modem
- - u-blox Neo-M8N GNSS patch antenna module
- - STM32L4 low-power processor core
- - Isolated CAN bus transceiver
- - 3-axis accelerometer for crash warnings
