Managing vehicle fleets comes with a significant challenge – extracting essential CANbus data from a diverse range of vehicles. However, many GPS vehicles trackers and telematics solutions struggle to keep up due to:
For industries such as logistics, warehousing, and heavy equipment management, tracking vehicle location alone is not enough. Access to operational data is crucial for optimizing fleet performance.
CustomCAN is a firmware feature in Ruptela devices that allows to manually configure and extract CANbus data from vehicles not natively supported in Ruptela’s Supported Vehicle List.
This feature is especially useful for:
CustomCAN is supported in Ruptela’s tracking devices, which share key features such as CANbus data reading, LTE connectivity, BLE 5.0, internal GNSS, multiple digital and analog inputs/outputs, remote firmware updates and configuration via Ruptela’s Device Management Platform and Device Center:
Global Track is a Malaysia-based telematics solutions provider, dedicated to offering customized tracking solutions for businesses of all sizes. Starting they path in 2003, the company has grown into a leading name in fleet monitoring, providing innovative GPS tracking, vehicle management, and customized telematics solutions. Global Track faced a challenge when implementing a forklift telematics solution for a local industrial forklift provider.
As a Chinese-manufactured forklift, the Lonking CDP25 EV did not have a pre-configured CANbus profile in Ruptela’s Supported Vehicle List. This meant that critical data points were inaccessible through traditional way of configuring CANbus interfaces in Ruptela’s Device Center.
To overcome these limitations, Global Track deployed Ruptela’s Pro5 Lite with CustomCAN, enabling them to manually configure and extract CANbus data. With this setup, Global Track successfully retrieved:
Battery Percentage
Forklift’s Speed
Fork Lifting/Tilting Status
Battery Charging Status
Engine Hours
This enabled their partner to optimize fleet management and improve operational oversight.
For businesses looking to maximize the potential of fleet tracking, Ruptela’s CustomCAN is a game-changer. It allows flexible CANbus data extraction, ensuring no vehicle is left behind in real-time fleet monitoring. With Pro5 Lite, Smart5, and HCV5 Lite, Ruptela provides scalable GPS tracking devices that adapt to diverse vehicle fleets.
