How It Works with Plaspy
When deployed with Plaspy, the VL300R streams location and telemetry to your Plaspy instance for fleet dashboards, alerts, and historical reporting. The device’s telemetry and digital interfaces are mapped to Plaspy data fields to enable automated workflows such as ignition-based trip segmentation, alerting on panic inputs, and telemetry-driven triggers.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates to Plaspy via 4G/LTE or GSM.
- Ignition input (DI) supports trip start/stop detection and engine-related reporting.
- Relay outputs (DO) can be used for remote immobilizer control or other vehicle actuations.
- Driver identification (iButton / RFID) records operator IDs and links them to trips and events.
- Bluetooth sensors, RS232 or 1‑Wire environmental sensors for temperature/humidity telemetry and cargo monitoring.
- Emergency/panic input events forwarded to Plaspy for instant alerts and incident workflows.
