Plug & Play Telematic System for Electric Vehicles

Business Challenges

  • Strengthening electric vehicle fleet offerings through an integrated telematics solution.
  • Identifying a flexible platform suitable for diverse client applications.
  • Selecting approved, vehicle-ready hardware compatible with EV drive systems.

Keys to Success

  • Implementation of the Owa450A+ with LTE, GNSS, and 9-axis MEMS.
  • Selection of industry-standard programming in Debian and Python.
  • Seamless CANbus integration for real-time drivetrain data capture.

Results

  • Data transmitted to a cloud platform and visualised via Grafana and the EV Portal.
  • Owa450A+ met all technical and operational requirements for EV integration.
  • Plug-and-play, CAN-compatible system with instant data logging upon connection.

Magtec, a leading UK-based manufacturer of electric vehicle platforms, sought to enhance its standard EV offering with a versatile telematics solution. Their goal was to provide customers, ranging from bus to rail operators, with instant access to real-time vehicle data through an embedded, flexible platform.

Hubit supplied and supported the Owasys Owa450A+ hardware, pre-configured with LTE, GNSS, and a 9-axis MEMS sensor. Integrated directly into Magtec’s EV platform, the device captures data from onboard CAN systems and GPS sensors. The system buffers data when connectivity is lost and synchronises it with a secure cloud environment once restored.

From here, data is visualised through two platforms: Grafana, designed for technical diagnostics and system performance analysis and the EV Portal, a user-friendly tool offering Magtec’s end customers real-time insights into vehicle status, location, and energy consumption. This plug-and-play solution is fully scalable and adaptable, providing a future-proof upgrade path for Magtec’s EV fleet partners.

Supporting the full deployment, Hubit provides hardware configuration, technical consultancy, stock holding, and drop-shipping services, ensuring Magtec’s projects run smoothly from prototype to production.
