Frequently asked questions about GPS, CAN bus and remote tachograph
What is Vigilo?
Vigilo is a telematics and fleet management solution from SeamTrack S.L.U. that brings together GPS tracking, alerts and reports and, depending on the hardware installed, CAN bus, fuel, temperature and remote tachograph download.
Is Vigilo only for trucks?
No. It can be used on cars, vans, trucks, trailers, machinery, containers and other assets, by choosing the right device and service.
What information does GPS tracking provide?
It can show position, journeys, stops, speed, calculated mileage, activity times, geofences and alerts. Exactly what is available depends on the equipment and the configuration.
What is CANBUS data reading?
It is the retrieval of data available on the vehicle's electronic network, such as mileage, fuel, RPM, temperature or engine hours. The parameters vary by make, model, year and interface.
How does remote tachograph download work?
A compatible device installed in the vehicle communicates with the tachograph and allows vehicle and driver file downloads to be scheduled using the corresponding authentication.
Can the driver card be downloaded as well?
Yes. On compatible installations, driver card file downloads can be scheduled alongside those from the vehicle tachograph.
Does Vigilo monitor fuel?
It can analyse consumption and fuel level via CAN bus, FMS or dedicated sensors. Accuracy depends on the data source, the vehicle, the calibration and the installation.
Are integrations available?
Yes. Vigilo offers integration options and an API to connect telematics data with other business systems, depending on the project and the service contracted.
Do the devices require installation?
It depends on the device. Some units simply plug in, while others must be fitted by a professional, particularly when they connect to CAN bus, FMS, a tachograph or sensors.
How do I request a proposal?
You can contact Vigilo stating the number and type of vehicles, the features you need and the installation area to receive a tailored proposal.
