Designing a CAN interface that unlocks and standardises
in-vehicle data across any make or model
Client: Beijer Automotive
Industry: Automotive
Service: Hardware Design, Electronics Engineering
Beijer Automotive helps customers unlock the value of data generated within vehicles, powering telematics, fleet management, traffic services, and more. At the core of this capability is hardware developed by SPINNOV: a CAN interface that reliably extracts, interprets, and standardises vehicle data, regardless of protocol or manufacturer.
Client and Goals
Beijer Automotive specializes in transforming in-vehicle data for various applications. Their services include extracting, interpreting, and standardizing data from different vehicle sensors, enabling seamless integration with systems like traffic services and telematics. Their expertise covers diverse vehicle makes and models, ensuring reliable data interpretation, even when different "languages" or protocols are used by automakers. They also support installation services for connecting the data to systems.
Challenges
Developing a hardware solution to improve in-vehicle data communication included ensuring compatibility across a wide range of vehicle makes and models, integrating various data protocols from different sensors, and managing real-time data processing with minimal latency. Additionally, ensuring secure and reliable communication between in-vehicle systems and external services while maintaining cost-efficiency and ease of installation could complicate the development process.
SPINNOV’s Role
Our team has developed a hardware solution to enhance the efficiency of in-vehicle data communication by improving how vehicle data is extracted and interpreted from various sensors. The system standardizes and connects diverse vehicle data across different models, making it easier to integrate with telematics, traffic services, and other platforms. This solution aims to increase the reliability and speed of data transfer, optimizing performance for both vehicle manufacturers and service providers.
