Efficiently monitor rental equipment with the tamper-proof TAT240 tracker. Increase asset security and streamline operations TRACKING RENTAL EQUIPMENT WITH TAMPER-PROOF TAT240 (JP) INTRO Companies involved in the growing equipment rental business are faced with the increased risk of equipment theft. It is a significant concern in the rental industry and can lead to project delays, missed deadlines, reputational damage, and lost revenue due to cancelled contracts and/or downtime. Fortunately, Teltonika Telematics has developed a tamper-proof, wireless solution that provides maximum security for this type of equipment. CHALLENGE Rental equipment is at increased risk of theft. There are many reasons why it is easier for thieves to target rental equipment, including increased time in transit, rental under false identities and less effort by the renter to secure the equipment. In addition, the value of stolen equipment is significant - for example, the average stolen piece of construction equipment in the US is worth approximately $29,000 , while only 21% of stolen equipment is recovered. These challenges are faced by companies that rent equipment to a variety of growing industries. The largest share of the rental market is in the construction industry , where equipment such as generators, concrete pumps, dumpsters, skips, portable toilets and other construction necessities are targeted by thieves. Equipment rental is also popular in other industries, such as the medical sector , where medical beds, patient lifts, oxygen concentrators, medical ventilators and similar items can be targeted, as well as the events industry , where amplifiers, lighting, speakers, or audio desks are the usual prey of criminals. As a result, equipment rental is a growing business opportunity that comes with the challenge of an increased risk of theft. Luckily, Teltonika Telematics has an effective solution to help these companies maximise the security of their rental assets. SOLUTION To solve the challenge of rental equipment theft in construction, healthcare, events and other industries, we use the new Teltonika TAT240 asset tracker with tamper detection for maximum security of rental equipment. This GPS tracking device can be easily attached to metal surfaces using the included magnetic mounting accessory, making it very convenient to install on construction equipment, such as generators or air compressors, as well as medical devices and event rental items. How it works - based on the user's preferences, TAT240 regularly sends the movement-based periodic events at set intervals or according to a weekly schedule. In the event of an attempted theft, the Recovery mode scenario would be triggered, enabling frequent reporting and the owner could easily locate the equipment thanks to Teltonika asset tracker. If a thief finds the tracking device and tries to remove it, TAT240 tamper-detection feature sends an immediate alarm notification. It uses advanced magnetic technology, one of the most reliable on the market today. By detecting tampering, the equipment owner can take immediate action to prevent theft. The location data of the exact point of tampering also helps further. Teltonika TAT240 model offers useful features, such as movement-based tracking, which allows tracking only when the asset is moving and not when it is in a warehouse waiting to be rented. Movement events can be used to learn when the asset has started or stopped moving. Finally, Bluetooth® LE support and the 'Lost BLE Sensor' feature can help manage equipment when it's indoors and the GPS signal is weak or unavailable. Conveniently, Teltonika EYE Sensors can be used for this purpose. In today's fast-paced world, managing rental equipment is a complex task that requires innovative solutions. Whether in construction, healthcare, events or any other industry, knowing the location and condition of company assets is critical. That's where Teltonika asset GPS tracker with tamper detection comes in. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Prevention of theft and recovery of assets - the tamper-proof GPS tracker TAT240 can help prevent theft and unauthorised use of rental equipment.

MQTT has been designed as an exceptionally lightweight messaging transport that is perfect for connecting vehicle GPS devices MQTT MESSAGING PROTOCOL AND TELTONIKA GPS TRACKERS INTRO The constantly growing urban population, along with increasing popularity and the number of GPS devices, inevitably places a strain on communication networks. That causes connection reliability and coverage concerns to some extent. To help overcome the likely hurdles, Teltonika Telematics is ready to offer a problem-solving contribution. CHALLENGE According to the United Nations , the urban population is set to increase by almost 700 million by the year 2030, reaching a total of 5.2 billion . This represents 57% of the global population. By 2030, this figure will reach 60%. As a result, it causes the noticeably increasing number of small, inexpensive, and lower-power objects (including Internet of Things (IoT) devices) that have appeared in the network over the past few years. Keeping in mind the United Nations findings above, the trend is clearly to stay in the near future. That said, this situation creates network latency due to occasional bandwidth constraints, connection reliability, and coverage concerns in urban areas. Not to mention, the weather and environmental conditions are the influencing factors too, and they are beyond human control. These are the key challenges for the mobility and IoT industry, especially for large scale and important business operations – state, health system, emergency service, and military projects; luxury and pricey business class corporate car-sharing; mining, oil and gas industry, etc. So to say, the network reliability is the key issue here that has to be addressed. Simply, because modern-day drivers are rightly expected to access vehicles to ride in a timely manner and fleet managers counting on (and paying for) the reliable data in due time, and not otherwise. Plus, the messaging protocol of choice in vehicle GPS trackers has to be encrypted and secure. Keeping all above, Teltonika Telematics is ready to offer the solution for corporate fleets and Telematics Service Providers. SOLUTION The difficulties can be tackled by choosing a reliable, robust, and secure protocol. That is where Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (aka MQTT or MQ Telemetry Transport) comes most useful - the messaging protocol for the IoT invented in 1999 by Dr Andy Stanford-Clark ( IBM ) and Arlen Nipper ( Eurotech ). What makes it stand out, is this - MQTT has been designed as an exceptionally lightweight messaging transport that is perfect for connecting remote devices with a small code footprint and the lowest network bandwidth. A great choice for M2M communication, so for the prominent vehicle telematics projects. How it works - MQTT operates on the ‘client and broker’ principle and Publish/Subscribe architecture, where a client is any Internet of Thing that runs MQTT library (dedicated server, microcontroller, application, sensor, etc.) and broker is a passive go-between signpost server where data should go. It handles authentication of Things on the network as well as managing connections, sessions, and subscriptions. Clients connect to the broker, which then mediates communication between the two devices - broker and client-subscriber. All messages have to go through the broker before they can be delivered to the subscribers. That is how IBM company describes this mechanism and its components : 'Publishers send the messages, subscribers receive the messages they are interested in, and brokers pass the messages from the publishers to the subscribers. Publishers and subscribers are MQTT clients, which only communicate with an MQTT broker.' Based on this model, multiple clients can connect to a broker and subscribe to topics in which they are interested. Even more, MQTT is bi-directional, maintains stateful session awareness and makes it possible to significantly increase the amount of data being monitored or controlled. MQTT and TLS. This messaging standard relies on the Internet protocol suite TCP , which does not use encrypted communication. To overcome this obstacle and encrypt the entire MQTT, any broker is allowed to use Transport Layer Security (or TLS) functionality for authentication and authorisation instead of TCP. Even more, the latter option is strongly suggested and should not be ignored. You can read more about Teltonika tracker’s security here . How is it different - MQTT can scale to connect with, literally, millions of IoT devices - the sky is the limit here. It is lightweight and efficient, ensures reliable message delivery, connects and operates over unreliable cellular networks, and supports bi-directional communication to easily broadcast messages to groups of things. Finally, to ensure a high level of security, this standard makes it easy to encrypt messages using TLS and authenticate clients. HOW BUSINESSES UTILISE MQTT PROTOCOL Car dealerships and car-sharing companies track in real-time the actual vehicle location and detect the unwanted behaviour of drivers - overspeeding, harsh cornering, harsh braking, etc. If GPS trackers combined with CAN bus data adaptors (for instance, Teltonika LV-CAN200 , ECAN01 ), it would allow monitoring of various engine readings, including accurate fuel level, odometer, engine speed (aka RPM) and so on to remarkably boost business efficiency. Large companies, state-owned enterprises, international corporations with considerable size corporate fleets (including business class and luxury passenger cars) may use Teltonika GPS trackers with MQTT protocol to securely and timely monitor fuel consumption efficiency, prevent its drain or even thefts. Potentially, it can noticeably reduce the running costs of the fleet. Conclusively, various types of delivery service companies, supermarkets, shopping centres, large marketplaces, and similar businesses can take advantage of GPS device benefits to track their own fleet locations and relevant data to optimise delivery routes and avoid traffic congestions, save resources and time, improve customer service, schedule maintenance of vehicles, etc. Currently, Teltonika Telematics offers MQTT functionality with a special firmware version in FMx1 (03.27.07.Rev.520) and FMx6 (01.02.03_ID1028) series vehicle GPS trackers. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Resolved network reliability issues - because messages are so lightweight, MQTT connects over unreliable cellular networks. It allows for messages to be stored at the broker until a device is ready to receive them. The ultimate choice for large scale and high-importance projects - state, health system, emergency service, and military projects; high-priced automotive and luxury fleets; business class corporate car-sharing; oil and gas industry, etc. Secure messaging - MQTT allows to encrypt messages using TLS functionality and authenticate clients using modern authentication protocols. Reduced complexity and cost-saving - the protocol allows a single connection to a message topic; data is well-structured and can be flexibly processed. Thanks to light data load and reduced bandwidth consumption, it significantly saves project cost and improves competitiveness. Bi-directional communication - any device can publish or subscribe to any topic handled by the MQTT broker. There is no limit on what can talk or listen to across the network, a device to the cloud and a cloud to the device. Message broadcasting functionality and scalability - to speed up communication, now you can broadcast messages to a group of Things, hundreds or even millions of them. WHY TELTONIKA? The need for fast, secure, and lightweight data transfer in GPS tracking has never been greater. Teltonika's devices use the MQTT protocol to provide uninterrupted real-time communication, ensuring a smooth flow of data between fleet management systems and IoT platforms.

Learn how Teltonika PROFESSIONAL series vehicle GPS trackers provide critical information for cold chain supply monitoring COLD CHAIN MONITORING WITH FMX6 SERIES TRACKERS INTRO Cold chain supply is becoming an increasingly important part of logistics as many of our products are delivered frozen. Unfortunately, it can be a challenge for the fleet manager to monitor the temperature in the trailer as it travels, so ensuring the quality of the chilled goods becomes a real headache. Fortunately, GPS devices can help by providing the fleet manager with relevant information about the situation inside the reefer trailer. CHALLENGE In cold chain logistics, challenges can arise at 3 different stages. Firstly, the product could be damaged before it starts its journey, while it is not in the hands of the carrier. Secondly, its quality could deteriorate during transport due to incorrect temperature settings, refrigerator doors not being closed, condensation, etc. Thirdly, the condition of the goods may deteriorate once they are in the recipient's care because they may be stored in an inappropriate environment. All refrigerated goods need to be kept at a specific temperature throughout their journey. Even small changes in temperature can affect either the quality of the goods or the environment in which they are stored, which in turn can affect the products themselves. Incorrect temperature settings can increase the risk of microbial or mould growth in the hold, or if the temperature is too low, it can damage the product by forming larger groups of ice crystals on it. Another area that presents many challenges is the doors on reefer fridges. Damaged doors can fail to close completely, allowing warm temperatures in and cold temperatures out. Even if the temperature settings are correct, this will affect the temperature inside the reefer and the damage may be irreversible, costing the transport company a lot of money. This type of problem can even affect the safety of workers, as the inside of the trailer can become slippery or covered in unhealthy mould. It is also important to have accurate data about the environment in a trailer. The recipient of the goods, or a regulatory body, may ask for this data if the products are found to be damaged on delivery. And it would be a big problem if the data showed that the environment in which the products were stored had affected their quality. The fleet manager needs to know at all times that the goods are being stored in appropriate conditions to avoid potential difficulties with the recipient, and Teltonika Telematics can help. SOLUTION Teltonika PROFESSIONAL series vehicle GPS trackers FMC650 and FMM650 can read data from freezer trailer thermographs. This data would allow fleet managers to monitor the situation inside the reefer as it travels and give further instructions to the drivers if any changes need to be made. As a result, more goods would be stored in the reefer in proper conditions, ensuring that their quality does not deteriorate during transport. To further demonstrate the solution, we use FMC650 model. How it works - a freezer thermograph is a device that measures the temperature in the trailer, while also storing data about the environment in the reefer trailer for further use and analysis. Thermographs that our devices support have an RS232 communication line which can be connected to our FMC650 tracker via COM1/COM2 port. Once connected, our device can start monitoring and storing the data recorded by the thermograph. As the two devices are easy to connect and configure, it becomes a perfect solution for transport companies operating in the cold chain supply industry. In addition, Teltonika PROFESSIONAL series supports three different types of thermographs – Carrier DataCold 600, Thermo King Transcom 2, and Thermo King TouchPrint. FMC650 allows a fleet manager to monitor thermograph data live as the tracker sends this data directly to the server. As one of the main uses of the thermograph is to record temperature data, the GPS device also tracks this data. This leads to the possibility of changing some of the freezer settings while on the road. If the fleet manager notices that the temperature is too low or too high, he can call the driver and ask him to adjust the temperature in the reefer. This ensures that the goods are always stored in the proper environment. Thermographs also monitor the status of refrigerator doors and send data if the doors are not closed properly. FMC650 tracker also collects this data and sends it to the server. As with the temperature, a fleet manager can notify the driver that the fridge doors are not closed properly, and the driver can then close them to prevent potential damage to the goods, people in the surroundings or himself/herself. Thermographs also have specific alarms, such as a rapidly rising temperature in a refrigerated vehicle. In addition, Teltonika GPS devices can monitor these alarms and send a notification to the fleet manager that one or more alarms are active. Teltonika PROFESSIONAL series vehicle trackers can be configured to only track certain alarms. Above is a screenshot of Teltonika Configurator setup option. Please note that the exact set of features depends on the specific thermograph model. If, in the future, the fleet manager needs information about the environment inside the refrigerated trailer, this data can be stored on the server for later access. This functionality is useful if the recipient of the goods or regulatory bodies wants to know the environment in which the goods were stored during transportation. Teltonika PROFESSIONAL series trackers, namely FMC650 and FMM650, have been designed to help fleet managers meet the above challenges. With these GPS devices, we can offer a complete solution. Let's take FMC650 as an example to show you how. FMC650 (4G LTE Cat 1) tracker can be configured to generate specific events according to business needs. These events can have different priorities, so the fleet manager would see the events that are most important to them first. This is a handy feature that helps telematics service providers and integrators focus first on the events that are critical to the overall operation of a fleet. And let's not forget the other features and benefits of these PROFESSIONAL vehicle GPS trackers. They have an RS232 transparent mode that allows data to be easily read from external devices. FMC650 also has an internal 550 mAh battery, external GNSS and 4G antennas, 4 DINs and DOUTs, and its data transmission frequencies can be configured to send data according to different movement scenarios. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Accurate temperature monitoring - these trackers enable real-time temperature monitoring, ensuring that perishable goods are transported within the required conditions, reducing spoilage and loss. Improved route efficiency - with real-time GPS tracking, fleet managers can optimise routes for faster and more efficient deliveries, which is critical in time-sensitive cold chain logistics.

Discover how Teltonika GPS trackers can help seasonal businesses by optimising operations, increasing efficiency, and reducing costs MAXIMISING EFFICIENCY AND COST SAVINGS FOR SEASONAL BUSINESS INTRO Today, demand for GPS trackers continues to grow as companies recognise their potential to save money and increase efficiency. According to the report , fleet management systems are estimated to generate monthly savings of more than $6,000 for a medium-sized fleet of 20 vehicles. However, installing vehicle trackers for seasonal businesses with small fleets can be a significant investment, but there is a way to get around this. CHALLENGE Installing GPS trackers in seasonal businesses that operate during certain seasons or times of the year can be a challenging investment for companies. For example, equipping a fleet of 10 vehicles in the US can cost an average of $2,000 to $4,500 per year, while the installation for each vehicle can range from $50 to $125. Although tracking devices could offer a valuable advantage to various seasonal businesses across different sectors. One of the industries that faces the challenge of a temporary tracking solution is agriculture, because a GPS tracker only needs to be installed for two-three months during specific seasons like planting and harvesting and companies do not choose to implement it. However, it could help with efficient resource allocation, precision farming, equipment monitoring and crop management. In fact, according to a study conducted by Motorola , GPS-enabled fleet management results in a time savings of approximately 54 minutes per day for transport operations. This translates into a cost saving of $5,484 per employee. This challenge is also faced during the winter/snow races. For the only seasonal event, the possibility of using GPS is not being considered. However, it could be useful to enhance the safety of participants, provide valuable performance data or assist with course monitoring and marking. The same applies to the fleet management of vehicles used for snow removal services - cleaning, salting, or snow clearing from city streets. Such seasonal services could use Teltonika trackers and IoT technology assistance to optimise routes and manage incidents in the event of equipment failure or breakdown. And when the season is over, these GPS trackers could easily be installed in another fleet, especially if the vehicles are used for different functions or events.

Geofencing is critical for anyone seeking to comply with restrictions of movement during a lockdown or in a modern vehicle fleet GEOFENCE SOLUTION IN THE EVENT OF A PANDEMIC INTRO One of the more advanced features of GPS trackers is the ability to create Geofence scenarios in a real-time with triggered alerts. Geofences are designated areas or zones that can be defined on a map or as a distance from the specific location. The feature may help to comply with some pandemic lockdown measures and greatly benefit private car owners, families, corporate fleet managers and business owners. All Teltonika GPS tracker models have Geofence as a standard feature. CHALLENGE COVID-19 has officially been designated a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). It has gone global with cases in over 150 countries. As of mid-May, 2020, more than 4 million COVID-19 confirmed cases over time have been reported worldwide with a death toll of more than 300,000. Estimates of the expected recovery in 2021 are equally uncertain, with outcomes depending largely on the duration of the outbreak and the effectiveness of the policy responses. On the other hand, some countries begin a gradual easing of their COVID-19 lockdown measures. That said, governments around the world are wrestling with the conundrum of how best to lift confinement measures that are exacting a disastrous toll on their economies while avoiding a dangerous second wave of contagion. Example 1 In France, the freedom of movement of up to 100 km (62 miles) has been introduced. Journeys of up to 100 km from home will be allowed without justification. Longer trips will still be allowed only for work or for “compelling family reasons”, as justified by a signed form. And some other countries may follow the lead introducing similar measures and/or division in country zones based on health indicators. Please be aware, it is a radius from the starting point (that is to say home) we are talking here, not the mileage readings on the vehicle speedometer from home as such. Example 2 Chile has declared a preventative quarantine for parts of Santiago and nationwide curfew requirements. Total quarantine has taken effect for Gran Santiago including all comunas in the Santiago Province, as well as certain comunas in other areas. Outside Santiago, quarantines have also been implemented in Arica, Iquique and Alto Hospicio. This leads to different designated areas where the entrance is forbidden or at high risk. Ideally, trips through these areas should be monitored and controlled. So, how do you measure the radius precisely while driving a car? How do you know you are still in the allowed zone and not breaching the lockdown restriction without any headache or guesswork? And that's where the GPS tracker Geofence scenario comes into play. SOLUTION GPS tracking devices offer multiple additional functions that are just as useful as live tracking such as geofence zones. Geofences are virtual boundaries you draw on a digital map in an Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) software application that is used in location-aware events and various alarms. Geofencing can be used for setting up events and receiving notifications when a vehicle enters or leaves a predetermined area. Geofencing is critical for any person seeking to comply with introduced lockdown movement measures or modern business with a vehicle fleet. Plus, it allows the fleet managers to draw zones around customers’ sites, warehouses, and secure areas. Here is how it works: When these geofences are crossed by a vehicle equipped with a GPS tracker (for instance, the new generation model FMM130 ), the vehicle owner, the fleet manager or any appointed person in charge will be warned with an alarm buzzer, SMS, email, LED indicator or smartphone push notification activated by tracker digital output (DOUT). The fact of a vehicle crossing the predefined geofence zone boundary is tracked in real-time by satellite GNSS. Conveniently, you can choose when to generate an event – on zone entrance, on exit or both. The zone may have a circle or rectangular shape and, upon the demand, maximum allowed speed can be set up too. As a private car owner and a family member, you may set up a Geofence scenario around your house which will alert you whenever the family car leaves or returns home or apply Geofence scenario for a movement radius restriction tracking if such pandemic measure has been introduced in the country. Furthermore, it allows you to see that your teen driver has left for school on time or got home before curfew. Alternatively, geofencing an area around your teen’s school or job you will be able to see that they are arriving on time every day. A geofence set up around your home will also alert you if someone tries to take your car once it is parked at the end of the day. You can also set geofences around work, favourite stores and other locations you commonly visit and so on.

Cost-effective management of heavy-duty vehicles utilising Teltonika wireless Bluetooth® LE accessories and vehicle GPS trackers MANAGEMENT OF HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES WITH BLUETOOTH® ACCESSORIES INTRO The global construction equipment market is of great importance to the economy which is estimated to steadily grow and reach 234.6 billion dollars in the year 2030. Heavy machinery is undoubtedly a crucial part of the industry and, the increasing fuel prices are a great challenge for operators and business owners. Teltonika Telematics devices and Bluetooth® accessories open up new possibilities and can be very useful here. CHALLENGE The costs of heavy machinery are enormous, and it is estimated that its’ average productivity is only 62% at best. That means that this expensive equipment is not being used for a lot of time. It is unacceptable that such costly machinery is so barely used and results in higher costs than it could be. Furthermore, spending time idling is another big challenge. It is estimated that, for example, one manufacturer’s heavy machinery is idling 40 per cent of total running time, resulting in 400 gallons in annual fuel waste per machine. These actions create very high costs, especially in larger fleets, that could be prevented with the help of smart telematics solutions. It is necessary to prevent situations when valuable materials are unloaded out of a dump truck without authorisation, especially in times of rising construction prices, harsh competition and construction materials being among top cargo theft targets. Moreover, it is also difficult to ensure that the driver of heavy machinery does not work in certain unsafe areas. For example, in an area where the movement of the excavator's arm is considered risky, the vehicle may drive through the area to reach its destination, but the excavator arm must not start moving to avoid disastrous consequences, and the fleet manager must be informed of such actions to taking preventive measures. If a driver accidentally starts to work outside the authorised area, he/she must be informed and stopped immediately. Fortunately, with Teltonika Telematics fleet management devices, combined with Bluetooth® LE accessories and smart thinking, these challenges can be overcome seamlessly and ensure maximum efficiency. SOLUTION To solve these challenges, we use the ADVANCED category Teltonika GPS tracker FMB240 with an integrated CAN bus data processor and EYE Sensors . The latter is used to track angular movements of various heavy-duty vehicles - hydraulic dumpsters, concrete rotators, excavator arms, plough trucks and graders, combines, harvesting headers and others. How it works - angular movement tracking allows operators to monitor the real working hours of heavy machinery and its’ employees, instead of just idling. Angular data of the sensor may be compared to an engine working time to objectively evaluate how much time the machine and driver were actually working, and how many hours it spent idling and simply wasting fuel and profits. For instance, if it is observed that the engine of the excavator is working, but angular data of EYE Sensor does not show movement data of the excavator arm, it means that the fuel is being wasted but no real work is being done. It is also applicable to other types of heavy machinery whose operations include lifting, such as hydraulic dumpsters. This solution helps to take preventive action and save these considerable costs that are wasted when machines are idling. To know if heavy machinery is working in areas considered risky, the EYE Sensor also comes in very handy. Thanks to its’ angular movement recognition capabilities, fleet operators can see whether equipment such as an excavator is being used in dangerous areas where it is not supposed to, by measuring the angular movement of the machinery, for example, the excavator arm. If that is the case, they need to be promptly informed about such irresponsible actions and take necessary actions. Furthermore, EYE Sensor movement detection helps heavy machinery fleet managers to detect potential thefts. For example, by checking how many dumps there were in general during the day and in which locations, it is possible to recognise if there were any unauthorised unloading of the dumpster, and take appropriate actions if that is the case. Better yet, to improve employees’ accountability, the solution might be combined with wireless driver identification and time tracking. With this option, the drivers of the machinery would have their EYE Beacons , and the working time of a particular driver would be tracked. On top of regular working time tracking, fleet managers could track if there is any overtime or if the driver is working on a weekend. It may be even spotted if the driver is performing work when it is forbidden to. This would help fleet operators to be in full control of their fleet and workforce and take necessary actions when needed. Finally, the extensive set of features of the integrated CAN bus data processor with ALL-CAN300 adapter functionality helps to manage fleets as efficiently as possible, while the IP67-rated casing of the FMB240 tracking device ensures that the solution will work in demanding climatic environments and challenging weather. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Accurate and reliable data on heavy machine performance – EYE Sensors enable smart and automated tracking of heavy-duty vehicle movements to monitor its working time and efficiency based on angular movement data. Exact working hours of machines and drivers – be aware of the working hours of heavy machinery and be sure that it is being used for work instead of idling. It may be used together with EYE Beacons for fully automated driver’s working time tracking. Cargo theft prevention – EYE Sensors help to prevent unauthorised unloading of heavy-duty vehicles and spot it if it happens, which allows to take necessary actions and save cargo. Comprehensive accountability of a workforce utilising EYE Sensors and EYE Beacons for convenient and fully automated fleet and employee tracking. Customisable solutions for every project - to achieve maximum value, the signal strength and data transmission ranges of the Bluetooth® accessories can be fine-tuned to suit the needs of the project.

Improve fleet safety and management efficiency with Teltonika DualCam solution with DOUT power control PARKED VEHICLE INCIDENT RECORDING WITH TELTONIKA DUALCAM INTRO Although parking areas, depots and rest stops are common sites for incidents such as minor collisions or vandalism, most vehicle cameras stop recording when the ignition is turned off. To solve this, the Teltonika DualCam uses smart power control to continue recording and send instant event notifications even when parked. This reliable solution helps fleets capture evidence, resolve disputes faster and improve vehicle security without affecting efficiency. CHALLENGE Companies that operate vehicles for delivery, logistics or other purposes face several challenges that can significantly affect their ability to provide efficient services. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of on-demand data . If operators cannot access data when they need it, it can lead to delays in decision-making, resulting in reduced customer satisfaction. For example, if an operator needs to know what happened during harsh braking or idling, they may have to wait until the engine is turned on to access the necessary data. Another challenge these companies face is the inability to turn on cameras and monitor situations at any time. This challenge is particularly problematic when it comes to detecting towing or other situations that require immediate action. Without on-demand monitoring capabilities, operators may not be able to respond to a situation promptly, which can impact customer satisfaction and cause delays in service delivery. Finally, connecting video cameras directly to the vehicle battery can drain it overnight, preventing drivers from continuing their journey the next morning. This is particularly challenging on long-haul journeys where drivers may need to rest overnight with the engine switched off. Overcoming these challenges is vital for companies operating vehicles to remain competitive and provide a quality service. The right solution can provide efficient ways to collect data on demand, monitor situations on demand, and connect cameras without draining the vehicle battery. In this way, companies could improve the efficiency of their operations, increase customer satisfaction, and stay ahead of the competition.

Improve the efficiency of the delivery service fleets with Teltonika FTC305, the smart e-scooter and e-bike tracking solution E-SCOOTER AND E-BIKE TRACKING SOLUTION FOR DELIVERY SERVICES (JP) INTRO Delivery companies are switching to electric scooters and bikes because of their many benefits, including lower operating costs, reduced emissions, and greater flexibility. According to McKinsey , the global micromobility market is expected to grow up to $360 billion by 2030, from about $175 billion in 2022 mainly thanks to e-bike sales. Yet, certain challenges need to be addressed, and Teltonika is ready to offer a practical solution. CHALLENGE Electric bikes and scooters are gaining popularity as a means of transportation in delivery service fleets due to their environmental benefits, low operating costs, and flexibility. For instance, the Zero Emissions Urban Fleets (ZEUF) network, an urban fleet electrification initiative, aims to put European urban stakeholders on the path to achieving 50% and 100% electrification of urban fleets by 2025 and 2030, respectively. Other regions follow suit, for instance Asia Pacific experiences a significant growth of the e-mobility usage thanks to the evolution of the urban infrastructure and battery technology. In order to maintain the pace and reduce emission, Indonesian government introduced the subsidies for motorcycle conversion from internal combustion engine to electric. However, the transition of the delivery fleets to the electric transport comes with unique challenges like a shorter range of the e-bikes and e-scooters and its reliance on the charging infrastructure that might be lacking in certain areas. As a consequence, e-fleet may not be suitable for longer deliveries or the deliveries to remote locations. What Is more, battery fires and even explosions are a significant challenge for delivery fleets of electric bikes and scooters. This makes battery health monitoring a priority for delivery companies. Further, according to the research, thieves are more likely to target electric bikes due to their higher value. Studies have shown that e-bikes are three times more likely to be stolen. So, it is fair to say that the environment for smart delivery solutions is moving forward, but the industry needs a quality tracking solution with all the benefits it can bring to keep the business in good order with minimum cost. Fortunately, Teltonika has come up with one that can be integrated into a wide range of e-scooters or e-bikes, offering a variety of significant advantages SOLUTION To demonstrate the solution, we choose Teltonika FTC305 tracker with high voltage support and designed for the e-mobility market. It is a compact, dust and water-resistant IP67-rated GPS tracker with internal high gain GNSS and GSM antennas, high-capacity 380 mAh internal battery, 10-97 V power supply range and CAN reading capability. FTC305 model is highly versatile and can be used with a range of electric vehicles. For example, the tracking device can be conveniently mounted on e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, and e-scooters to collect information on distance travelled, speed, exact location, and time spent on the vehicle. All data can be displayed in real-time on a dedicated software application to monitor a delivery fleet. How it works – FTC305 must be installed and configured on each electric two-wheeler to be tracked and monitored. Using FT platform innovation, it is able to connect up to 41 satellites simultaneously, reaching unprecedented GNSS accuracy and a precise track even in a dense urban landscape. The tracking device can detect the movement, location and other relevant data of the e-bike or e-scooter, depending on the tracker configuration and project requirements. The information is then transmitted via the GPRS network to a dedicated server, allowing the fleet owner, manager, or operator to monitor the movements and parameters of each fleet asset in real time. To ensure the best electric fleet performance, full accountability, and safety, FTC305 has an impressive number of practical scenarios built into its firmware - eco/green driving, detection of overspeeding, jamming, excessive idling, fall down, towing and crash, geofence, trip/odometer, immobilizer, last known position, timestamp backup, etc. Daily and weekly reports also provide valuable information on the performance of the e-bike or e-scooter, such as battery levels, charging needs or maintenance issues. With detailed information on these aspects, it would be possible to identify gaps and challenges that need to be addressed in the delivery process and business operations, e.g., inappropriate driver behaviour, missed deliveries, e-vehicle breakdowns, excessive downtime, etc. Finally, Teltonika FTC305 tracker offers the convenience of remote firmware updates and configuration changes through FOTA WEB tool. Integrated with the web version of TCT , user-friendly configuration solution designed specifically for FT platform, FOTA WEB platform helps manage these tracking devices with maximum efficiency while saving valuable time and resources for delivery businesses. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Real-time monitoring - by tracking their electric vehicles in real-time, companies can respond quickly to issues that arise during deliveries. For example, if a driver gets lost or stuck in traffic, dispatchers can redirect them to a better route. Improved route planning - with GPS tracker Teltonika FTC305, delivery companies can optimise their routes for maximum efficiency. This means less time on the road and more deliveries in less time. Increased accountability – such fleet tracking provides an accurate record of where each delivery vehicle has been and how long it took to get there. This helps prevent theft or misuse of company assets. Improved customer service - GPS tracking enables delivery companies to provide customers with up-to-date information about their orders, including estimated arrival times and location updates. Reduced costs - by optimising routes and reducing idle time, continuous tracking can help reduce costs and improve overall fleet efficiency. Improved road safety - knowing the exact location of each e-vehicle at all times helps ensure the safety of both drivers and pedestrians on busy city streets. Increased fleet security – electric two-wheeler tracking provides an added layer of security by allowing companies to track the movement of their vehicles, helping to prevent theft and unauthorised use. SUCCESS STORY Online shopping is popular these days, and so is the demand for freight delivery services. A start-up company from the Northern Europe region developed and produced electric bikes for convenient and environmentally friendly cargo delivery. They supplied cargo e-bikes to delivery companies, such as DHL, FedEx, etc., but these vehicles required effective warranty service and predictive maintenance. Here's where Teltonika Telematics comes in. Our customer chose TFT100 – a predecessor for FTC305 – for its support of the high voltage range and the Manual CAN functionality. It developed its own CAN ID database to have full control of the CAN ID library, making predictive maintenance easier and allowing service repairs to be planned well in advance. As a result, the end customer knows how the e-bikes are being used by the delivery companies: if the mileage was high and it was time to check and replace some parts; if the e-bike was being misused (overheating or overcharging) and it was necessary to warn of the consequences; if the rider performance was poor (crash detection, eco and green riding scenarios) and needed to be improved by the fleet owner. In addition, driver identification (1-wire) and cargo box lock/unlock (DOUT) functionality provided additional safety and peace of mind. Thus, the customer not only saved effort, time, and money on unnecessary service checks and preventive maintenance but also increased brand reliability and gained confidence. Following the success of this project, the company planned to equip around 1,000 e-bikes with GPS tracking devices in 2024. WHY TELTONIKA? To successfully address and solve the challenges of tracking and monitoring e-scooters and e-bikes, we offer a beneficial choice from Teltonika - FTC305 tracker with robust IP67-rated casing easily adapted to different means of transport model with extended usage scenarios to help effectively manage electric two-wheeler fleets in the urban delivery service industry. Predictive maintenance reduces unplanned downtime by identifying potential mechanical faults before they become costly breakdowns, allowing operators to schedule timely repairs and extend the life of their fleet. This proactive approach minimises costs, optimises battery performance, and improves overall operational efficiency. With decades of experience in telematics, Teltonika's solutions integrate with fleet management platforms, providing companies with actionable data to improve efficiency. Our durable, high-performance tracking devices enable operators to reduce downtime, extend battery life, and optimise delivery routes. Using Teltonika's products, e-mobility providers can run smarter, more profitable operations. LIKE THIS STORY? Share it with friends! Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn Copy link GOT A QUESTION?

Smooth battery swapping by optimising battery performance, ensuring safety and protecting against faults with the FTx305 trackers MONITORING OF THE ELECTRIC BATTERY SWAPPING INTRO Electric two-wheelers (E2W) have gained popularity due to their environmental friendliness, affordability and ease of use. These vehicles offer an excellent solution to the challenges of urban mobility, reducing emissions and noise pollution while providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional petrol vehicles. However, a major challenge to the widespread adoption of E2Ws is the availability of convenient and fast-charging infrastructure. CHALLENGE Traffic congestion, road conditions, accidents, traffic lights, stop signs - they all eat up our precious time. When it comes to E2Ws, there is one more item to add to the list - battery drain. Unlike electric cars, electric two-wheelers tend to have smaller battery capacities, making frequent charging necessary, but also time-consuming and inconvenient. The solution soon arrived - battery swapping , which allows E2W users to quickly replace a discharged battery pack with a fully charged one. It is designed to help users avoid downtime, eliminate restrictions and prevent battery degradation. The concept of the battery swap stations is to be fully automated. This means that there are no operators on site unless there are some technical problems indicated with the particular battery. In this case, the technical service engineer is sent to the docking station to take the battery for further inspection and repair. So, the question is: how can fleet managers and business owners be aware of battery health, location and potential failures or breakdowns without physically removing all the batteries for inspection? At the very least, it would take a lot of time and effort, not to mention disruption to operations and service. It's also important to take precautions and safety measures - check the temperature, current and other key parameters when the battery is being rented out. This will give business owners peace of mind and additional proof in the event of a warranty claim between both parties. Finally, it's important to know and inform the user about the return or replacement of the battery to ensure a smooth service. For all these challenges, Teltonika has an effective solution. Let's find out more. SOLUTION Firstly, each battery in the swap station is equipped with a GPS tracker from FTx305 device series of the e-mobility category. Thanks to the CAN interface, these devices are able to read all CAN-related parameters from the battery, such as voltage, current, state of charge, fault codes, charging status, etc. This helps managers and business owners to always be aware of the condition of the batteries and know exactly when this or that battery needs to be taken to the service point for repair. It helps them avoid wasting time, effort and money on manual battery health checks. How it works – FTx305 device series supports manual CAN commands functionality, meaning that customers can configure up to 10 CAN commands based on the protocol and initiate configured commands to be executed remotely after device power-up, repeatedly or periodically. For example, if the battery is overheating, the command can be sent to disconnect the battery remotely (battery cut-off). The user can receive a warning SMS message or mobile app alert notification to take appropriate action. Such precautionary measures contribute to user and battery safety to prevent incidents. Another important point is that during the lease period, the battery must be used following the manufacturer's guidelines to meet warranty standards in the event of a dispute. For example, misuse of a battery can cause its crash and rupture, resulting in a fire or even an explosion. Fortunately, regular battery monitoring and data logging can help OEMs detect cases of battery misuse and provide evidence in the event of a warranty claim. Finally, to prevent EV battery theft, it’s necessary to equip the batteries with Bluetooth® EYE beacons alongside FTx305 beforehand. If the battery is discharged and FTx305’s internal battery is also drained, it’s still possible to locate it and take appropriate action. It also allows the business owner to know how many batteries are currently at the charging station and how many are temporarily unavailable. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Improve safety - continuously monitor vital battery parameters, protect against potential hazards and minimise the likelihood of accidents. Optimise operational efficiency - monitoring battery levels and swapping in real-time reduces downtime and ensures smoother operations. Improve user experience - provide customers with timely battery swapping, reducing wait times and improving satisfaction. Cost savings - minimise manual checks and interventions, resulting in labour cost savings and efficient use of resources. Proactive maintenance - predict and prevent potential battery failures with real-time monitoring, extending battery life and reducing replacement costs. Use the battery as recommended by an OEM, and ensure warranty standards are met. Data-driven decision-making - gain insight from collected data to make informed decisions about battery inventory, placement and swapping frequency. Environmental impact - encourage the use of electric vehicles by ensuring consistent battery availability, helping to reduce carbon emissions. Safety and compliance - ensure batteries are swapped and maintained according to safety standards, reducing risk, and ensuring compliance. SUCCESS STORY A few years ago, the Indian startup was researching Teltonika GPS tracking devices to offer as a turnkey solution alongside its in-house developed software platform. A few years later, the company started manufacturing its own BMS and custom batteries on the SMT line in India. As a result, the customer decided to enter the battery-swapping business, which is becoming increasingly popular in Asia. That’s when they first bought and tested some e-mobility trackers – model TFT100. TFT100 (CAN version) helped the customer to obtain the necessary CAN-related data, such as battery level, voltage, temperature, charge status, fault codes and much more - to ensure the battery swap business ran smoothly and safely. Within 1.5 years, the customer has successfully installed around 500 TFT100 trackers in their batteries and the business is thriving. Now the plan is to double the volume next year and to consider collecting data not only from the battery itself but also from the swap stations. WHY TELTONIKA?

A comprehensive forward collision avoidance utilising Teltonika ADAS accessory and special FMx125 series GPS trackers ADAS SOLUTION WITH FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE INTRO Drivers' behaviour and performance is a decisive factor in the success of any size fleet, business and safety on the roads. If not adequately and timely managed, a poor attitude may cause a significant increase in operational cost, traffic fines, injuries, downtime, loss of cargo, and company reputation. To effectively assist companies with that, Teltonika has developed a thorough present-day vehicle video telematics solution. CHALLENGE Despite the pretty strict road traffic safety and monitoring measures, penalty points, hefty fines and driving bans, approximately 1.35 million people die each year because of road traffic crashes. Even more, these crashes cost most countries 3% of their GDP . One of the most widespread factors remains speeding, driving under the influence, distracted driving, and inappropriate drivers’ behaviour, such as tailgating, non-use of seatbelts, reckless cornering, or breaking, etc. According to a recently conducted national survey among American drivers aiming to understand their habits, 52.5% of respondents reported eating while driving, 23.6% texting, 11.7% taking photos, 6.5% applying makeup, and 3.4% drinking while driving. Even more, drivers are distracted by their phones for at least 10% of their driving time. That is mind-blowing! On another hand, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that forward collision warning systems lower front-to-rear crashes by 27%. In fact, these systems may dramatically increase the effectiveness of driving and save a lot of lives worldwide. Keeping all the above in mind, Teltonika team has developed, manufactured, and thoroughly tested a practical telematics video solution designed to avoid collisions and accidents, greatly helping corporate fleets with these significant issues. We call it Teltonika ADAS solution. SOLUTION To address the challenges mentioned above, we are proud to present you with the brand-new innovative Teltonika video solution – Advanced Driver-Assistance System (aka ADAS ) dedicated camera mounted on the windscreen and the PROFESSIONAL category GPS tracker FMC125 combo, both connected via an RS232 serial port. Thanks to its unique features and firmware, ADAS camera detects alarming events in front of a vehicle, GPS device tracks them and sends the relevant data to the dedicated server for timely monitoring and further analysis. Plus, it notifies a driver immediately with a visual and sound alert of a likely danger or risky driving conditions. Its safety features are designed to avoid collisions and traffic accidents by offering leading-edge technologies that alert the drivers, fleet managers or people in charge of potential collisions or common mistakes on the road by tracking and monitoring events. It has multiple integrated warning systems (e.g., forward collision, pedestrian collision, forward proximity, lane departure warnings, front vehicle start alarm, safety distance alert, speed limit recognition) and, when managed correctly, can significantly improve drivers’, cargo, and road users’ safety. Of course, there are many different causes of collisions, but here we mainly focus on three key issues causing most forward collisions on the roads . Let's go through each of them in more detail and see how ADAS helps to deal with them. Over speeding . It is a type of aggressive driving behaviour, the most common and troubling one. Speeding causes a greater potential for loss of vehicle control, increased stopping distance, crash severity, and fuel consumption, to say at least. Thanks to ADAS solution forward collision system, the fact of speeding will be detected and tracked, the time to potential collision will be estimated, a driver and fleet management will be warned helping to avoid costly consequences. Even more, ADAS PLUS version camera allows identifying speed limits on the roads through a traffic sign recognition feature. As stated before, speeding violation event will be inevitably detected, a driver and fleet management will be warned about this fact. Tailgating . It is defined as driving too close to another vehicle in the front, thus considerably increasing the chances of rear-end collision. The tailgating (aka ‘piggybacking’) driver can be either conscious or unconscious of his/her high-risk driving. Thanks to ADAS solution collision avoidance system, the tailgating event will be timely detected and tracked, a driver and fleet management will be warned helping to avoid the costly outcome. Distracted driving . It is characterised as any activity that diverts attention from driving a vehicle. As mentioned above, smartphone texting is the most alarming and prevailing distraction behind the wheel. It creates tremendous potential for deaths and injuries on roads. Once again, if an inadequate driving event occurs because of the distraction, it will be detected by ADAS, a driver and fleet management will be warned helping to prevent costly consequences. For instance, if a vehicle moves out of its lane and a turn signal is off, a lane departure warning will be activated, helping the driver regain focus and get the car under control in time. Here to add, all events of interest will be sent to a dedicated server for timely and comprehensive analysis by fleet managers. That assures 100% accountability, detailed and solid evidence of driver’s behaviour on the road. Not to mention, the long list of benefits Teltonika GPS tracker can provide too. Undeniably, that helps to deal effectively with the most widespread bad habits and factors mentioned above, saves road user lives, cargo, business reputation, and company resources. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Instant and distinct notifications - a driver will get a visual and sound alert via a small display in front of him/her whenever an event is detected.

Ensure safe delivery of sensitive electronics with Teltonika’s EN12830-certified EYE Sensors and FMC234 tracker. Get real-time temperature and humidity monitoring, precise ±0.5 °C accuracy, built-in data logs, and complete traceability to protect semiconductors, microchips, and lithium batteries. TEMPERATURE MONITORING OF ELECTRONICS (JP) INTRO In today’s fast-paced global market, the safe transportation of electronic goods has become increasingly important, and maintaining proper temperature is one of the key factors in ensuring that safety. Sensitive electronics – ranging from lithium-based components to advanced communication modules – require constant environmental oversight to maintain their performance, longevity, and reliability. CHALLENGE Electronic components, including semiconductors, batteries, and capacitors, are highly vulnerable to temperature and humidity changes. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures accelerates chemical degradation, reduces insulation resistance, and can permanently damage microchips or solder joints. At the same time, cold conditions can create condensation inside electronic devices, which may lead to brittleness or temporary malfunctions. When combined with high humidity or moisture, these conditions can cause more serious damage, such as corrosion, short circuits, or failure of the protective layers on circuit boards. According to Component Sense , the lifespan of electronic components drops by 50% for every 10°C rise in temperature above recommended levels, and excessive moisture can significantly accelerate failure modes. Without proper environmental controls, especially during long-distance transport or storage, businesses risk irreversible damage to valuable electronics. Many companies transporting sensitive electronics still rely on manual temperature checks using thermometers or handwritten logs. Insights from comparisons of manual and automated workflows show that manual methods are slower, require more labour, and are prone to human error caused by fatigue or distraction. Sometimes checks are performed only at fixed intervals, and short-term fluctuations in temperature or humidity often go undetected. These blind spots create a serious risk for semiconductors, microchips, and lithium batteries, where even brief exposure to unsuitable conditions can lead to irreversible damage, warranty claims, and costly delays. SOLUTION To overcome these challenges, Teltonika ensures the safe transportation of sensitive electronics by combining EYE Sensors EN12830 with a Teltonika FMC234 tracker. Together, they provide continuous environmental oversight of electronics during delivery. How it works - EYE Sensors' compact Bluetooth® Low Energy devices are placed directly inside packages or inside trailers. They automatically broadcast temperature and humidity data via Bluetooth. A Teltonika GPS tracker, FMC234, is installed inside the delivery vehicle or trailer, and it continuously scans for nearby EYE Sensors and receives their data. Then, the tracker transmits environmental data collected by the sensors to a remote server. FMC234 is equipped with a high-capacity 1,000 mAh internal battery, ensuring prolonged cargo monitoring even when external power is unavailable or lost. This is especially important if the transport breaks down or cargo remains parked for longer periods, as the tracker can continue operating independently and send timely alerts about temperature changes. EYE Sensors EN12830 measure and transmit real-time temperature readings throughout the entire journey. They provide highly precise measurements and are certified to a temperature class of ±0.5 °C, meaning the difference between the actual and measured temperatures will not exceed ±0.5 °C. With an operating range of –20 °C to +60 °C, this level of precision and continuous tracking ensures that semiconductors, lithium batteries, microchips, and other electronic components are always protected from harmful fluctuations. EYE Sensors also monitor humidity and it adds an extra layer of protection, as excessive moisture can lead to corrosion, short circuits, or degradation of sensitive components. Each sensor can also store up to 33,000 temperature measurements, which can be accessed via the Teltonika EN12830 EYE APP or integrated into the company’s chosen software platform if required. EYE APP also allows exporting logs for audits, inspections, or compliance checks, ensuring clear proof that sensitive electronics were transported under safe conditions. To simplify operations further, every sensor comes with a unique ID, making it easy to identify and track multiple assets. For electronics shipments, this ensures that temperature and humidity records are always tied to the correct batch of semiconductors, circuit boards, or lithium batteries, preventing mix-ups, improving traceability, and maintaining full control across complex supply chains. Both EYE Sensors and the FMC234 tracker have IP67-rated casings, making them resistant to dust and moisture. This durability ensures that the entire monitoring solution remains reliable under harsh logistics conditions. Together, these devices provide full cargo traceability, actionable insights, and a dependable audit trail that helps companies protect valuable electronics, avoid warranty claims, and maintain uninterrupted supply chains TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Real-time monitoring – ensures that temperature and humidity levels are constantly tracked during the entire delivery process, protecting components from harmful environmental changes.
