Also in 2021 we will be present as a sponsor of the Future Congress Commercial Vehicles in Berlin. On 11/30 On December 1st and 1st, 2021 there will be a number of lectures, discussions and presentations as well as extensive networking on site as well as hybrid, i.e. online / live transmission.
We are particularly excited about the announcement of the winners of the German Telematics Prize 2022. The tests and examinations have been completed. Now you have to wait like you used to in school, training and studies :-)
The future of telematics is shaping up pretty much as we predicted five years ago. The OEMs or vehicle manufacturers integrate telematics systems directly into series production and offer qualified partners appropriate interfaces at the highest level of security as well as extensive preliminary tests.
The ArealPilot 360° app has been in the Mercedes-Benz Truck App Portal (MBTAP) of DAIMLER Truck AG since April 2021 and the interfaces/API for cars and vans from Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH (MBCS) are currently being integrated.
Other manufacturers are still struggling to set up a qualified IT/IoT partner ecosystem. It is gratifying that Mercedes in particular is leading and progressively driving digitalization in our hometown of Stuttgart.
The logic or the reason is simple: companies and businesses want to digitize, optimize and automate their own processes.
With a mixed fleet, pure OEM solutions are of no help. It is very demanding and particularly complex in construction companies, since here everything from mobile equipment, machines, assets, cars, vans, trailers, trailers, containers, tools, accessories, people and trucks with remote speedometer download and additional processes such as repairs, maintenance , order management as well as timekeeping and optimal disposition are required. To put it bluntly, you won't get anywhere with OEM telematics or simple tracking'n tracing. This is where real professionals are needed.
