Application fields of the small edge computer EDGEPLANT R1

・Commercial vehicles such as automobiles, motorcycles, buses and trucks
・Heavy machinery, construction machinery, agricultural machinery
・Robots, AGVs, ships, etc.

Combining intdash and EDGEPLANT R1 to build an integrated management system with advanced data stream control

Features and Value of the EDGEPLANT R1 Compact Edge Computer

・Compact and lightweight in-vehicle edge computer
- Rich interface
・Power supply control possible by signal
・Smooth intdash integration

・Can be installed on any object or location
The number of installation locations will increase, not only for passenger cars but also for commercial vehicles and ships. Even in passenger cars, it can be installed in very limited locations such as on ships or when there is no space available for installation due to other precision equipment. This increases the degree of freedom in installation.

・Data you want to acquire from vehicle measurements can be obtained with one small HW
Data that is generally required for vehicle measurement, such as CAN, camera, GPS, and analog signals, can be acquired with a single small HW.

・Power supply control linked to vehicle signals reduces measurement effort
By linking with vehicle IG signals and CAN signals, the time and effort required to power on/off the HW and the measurement start/end process can be reduced.

・Link with intdash to instantly check and analyze data
By linking with intdash, we have achieved both real-time delivery and reliable data transmission to the server.
