We’d be delighted to hear what you need a telemetry system to do for you and for your customers. All requirements are different and we will work with you to establish a set tailored to your applications, organisation and specific problems.  Requirements are presented in an easy to understand format and support a 3 phase approach:

• Trial phase
• Deployment phase
• Future phase

The purpose of the trial phase is to provide you with a working demonstrator you can use, as quickly and cheaply as possible.  This phase enables your requirements to be refined based on actual use, before moving to a larger deployment.

VP will ensure you receive the best combination of cost and capability in your telemetry system, and help future proof the system inline with your aspirations.

VPVision is an end-to-end solution. We work with our clients to ensure an optimal integration with all connected devices, this can include the provision of wiring looms and brackets if required.

If a client has in-house integration expertise and wishes to locate, route and connect the telemetry hardware themselves, then our remote integration service allows them to do that.

On-board our hardware is a software platform and a library of standard signals. When connecting to a new application, all inputs signals are converted to match the library, and new signals are accommodated for. This configuration is completed in advance of visiting the vehicle for the first time – making integration times quicker.

It’s likely the on-board software platform will need to be configured to match your requirements. This might include the addition of calculations and analysis, loading geo-fenced maps, enabling custom triggers and modifying the available means of communication. VP will design and create a configuration unique to your application, optimising all options and ensuing you get the best solution.

Without confidence in the information being presented, missed critical events or flagging up false positives, a telemetry system isn’t much use. That’s why we offer a comprehensive validation service to ensure the data collected and the way it’s presented is a true reflection.

At an early stage, we ensure the raw data being obtained from a connected device is accurate. This includes operating the device and ensuring the data corresponds, simulating fault events to ensure they are captured and inducing edge-case scenarios to ensure a robust response.

With access to accurate raw data, VP can validate all applications and analysis remotely, including on-board calculations, data transmission, data storage, visualisation, reporting and alerts.

When clients connect their devices to VPVision they see the frequency, duration and circumstances of different fault events, they also see when faults should be flagged but are missing – this enables improvement areas in the fault management strategy to be identified.

At VP, we have a great deal of experience analysing the data and understanding the engineering behind fault codes. We will work with you to improve existing alerts or develop new alerts in response to new or complex issues on your connected devices.

In Heavy-Duty vehicles, systems from different suppliers are often interfaced and work in conjunction to form powertrains and ancillary systems. Some have onboard fault detection, but often the data required to detect a fault is picked up at the periphery by interfacing equipment. This means onboard detection systems are limited since they do not access or analyse data from interfacing equipment.

With VPVision, you can obtain data from interfacing systems or at a vehicle level that will enhance your fault management strategy. We can develop and trial new models for fault detection, enable vehicle to vehicle comparison, trend and analyse historical data and leverage new technology such as machine learning and big data analytics to enhance fault detection methods.

VPVision offers such a step change in fault management capability which means predicting faults before they happen becomes attainable and reliable. We have a tried and tested process that enables new fault management techniques to be conceived, validated and deployed fleet wide – quickly, cheaply and at very low risk.

VPVision will report on the real-world performance and compliance of connected components and vehicles, this can include geolocational information, operator inputs and control system status to ensure performance data is presented in context.

With an array of visualisation techniques available, clients can view and understand product performance throughout the duty cycle and identify improvement areas. VP can analyse data from individual vehicles or entire fleets over a period of a few seconds or many years, testing theories and looking for insights in the product performance. Alternatively, clients can be provided the data, tools and training to do this independently.

Software changes to improve product performance can be trialled and de-risked virtually, in the cloud, before deploying updates to operational vehicles. Over-the-air software updates can be used to modify the software on connected devices quickly and cheaply.

VPVision provides an end-to-end solution which includes the ability to collect data, visualise, analyse, trial, validate and deploy product improvements at scale.

Designing, implementing and deploying an advanced telemetry system is not without its challenges. That’s why we have technical staff that can support your business during the implementation phase, to concept and through to deployment.

As part of the Allison group, Vantage Power’s long-term service and support offering leverages more than 1,400 Allison distributors and dealers across the world, thus ensuring the highest standard of quality care is available wherever you are.

Simply put, we not only guarantee a reliable product — we promise a reliable group of people committed to, caring for and maintaining your VPVision equipment.
