DataNab said it now offers its range of 1-Wire temperature sensors for fleet tracking and asset management, providing industrial grade communicating temperature sensors that can tie into existing GPS systems to provide temperature monitoring capabilities.
Fleet management can use the solutions, which use GPS devices and telematics, to remotely track locations and monitor diagnostics of vehicles. The maker added the sensor technology provides these systems with the added benefit of monitoring engine, cab, trailer or other temperatures, and delivers that information with the rest of the data in real time over the network, increasing safety, reliability and quality control. DataNab’s stainless steel sensors withstand dirt, shock and moisture associated with life on the road, the company said.
The simplified network infrastructure allows fleet managers to seamlessly connect one or more DataNab 1-wire sensors (typically ranging from $10 to $25) to supported GPS devices within the vehicles. One option includes the 1WT_8SSP_3_RGD, a 3-in. rugged stainless steel probe with the cable epoxied and sealed into the probe, resulting in a rugged, waterproof sensor ideal for harsh transportation and industrial applications.
