How It Works with Plaspy
The VL300 (4G) delivers GPS and telemetry to Plaspy using its LTE/GSM modem and GNSS position fixes. Plaspy ingests location, status and sensor data, turning raw inputs into real-time map visualization, alerts and fleet reports. The device’s flexible I/O and variant options make it straightforward to route ignition events, relay operations and Bluetooth sensor readings into Plaspy’s dashboards and event rules.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via 4G/LTE and fallback GSM
- Ignition input reporting to track engine on/off status and trip segmentation
- Relay outputs for remote control workflows (suitable for remote shutdown / immobilizer-style integrations when configured)
- Fuel monitoring and analog telemetry support when paired with compatible sensors via analog or serial interfaces
- Bluetooth sensors for temperature and humidity to support cold chain monitoring
- Historical position upload from internal memory (up to 34,000 records) after reconnection

Use Cases
- Fleet anti-theft and security: ignition monitoring and relay outputs enable remote-controlled shutdown workflows and event alerts through Plaspy.
- Cold chain logistics: pair Bluetooth temperature/humidity sensors and log data into Plaspy for compliant temperature monitoring and alarms.
- Field service and equipment fleets: RS232/RS485 or 1‑Wire variants connect diagnostics and auxiliary sensors for richer telemetry.
- Fuel monitoring and consumption analysis: integrate analog or serial fuel sensors to feed telemetry into Plaspy for fuel monitoring and optimization.
- General asset tracking and offline resilience: internal memory stores thousands of records to preserve route history when cellular coverage is interrupted.
