Teletrac
Teletrac's Vehicle Diagnostics Module (VDM) collects key vehicle operating data, which is then captured and transmitted through the FleetDirector onboard unit. The VDM provides FleetDirector customers with a new tool for their fleet and driver management programs. Using the raw data captured by the VDM, Teletrac's proprietary software then produces a detailed vehicle performance report. This report, combined with FleetDirector reports, provides fleet managers and owners with both live and historical fleet operating information that may be used to chart trends, spot and correct problem areas, and make better informed management decisions on drivers and equipment. The vehicle performance report includes the following for any reporting period: number of miles logged, number of hours engine was running, total in-motion time, total idling time, and fuel consumption.

Keytroller
Keytroller's new Keyenabler ignition disable/enabling system is designed to be simple and easy-to-install for any make or model engine-powered vehicle. A wireless relay (pictured) is snapped in place of a vehicle's starter relay or wired in line between battery and solenoid. The engine will not start until the relay is enabled by the operator with the device's keypad or keychain fob. If a thief tries to hot wire around the ignition switch, the engine will not start unless the relay is enabled. The keypad model keeps untrained, unauthorized operators from starting the vehicle.

RF Code
RFID data management software from RF Code allows rental operators to increase the revenue that each asset generates by enabling clear visibility into the supply chain. When paired with the active beacon RFID asset tags (pictured), systems integrators can create a solution for monitoring the performance, security and availability of equipment as it is put into service. A Tavis software platform supports the broad spectrum of identification devices for data collection, filtering and consolidation. It can simply serve as the interface between raw Auto-ID information and back office information systems or consolidate data for advanced application software. The system is scalable to incorporate existing barcode information, and can grow to leverage GPS, tamper sensors, motion sensors, real-time location systems and wireless networks for advanced monitoring and control.
Tavis-powered solutions have been used at pH Europe, an intermediate bulk container rental company in the U.K. John Hawkins, president of JDS Professional Services, a lead integrator on the pH Europe installation, says that JDS selected Tavis because of its scalable design, simple XML interface, Linux support and availability of data router hardware. “Tavis reduces both our cost of training internal engineering and the total cost of ownership for our clients by providing a single management application for all devices used in our solutions,” Hawkins says.
