RAM® Mounts Develops World's First CAN Bus Storing RAW Truck Data Directly to Tablet
How GDS® CAN Bus Works
Unlike traditional CAN Bus systems, which rely on a subscription-based model, the patented GDS® CAN Bus offers a streamlined and cost-effective alternative. Traditional CAN Bus systems involve a complex process where RAW truck data is sent to a telematics unit, transmitted to a web server via a cellular network connection, and then pushed to the truck's user interface. This not only incurs ongoing subscription fees but also introduces potential delays and data integrity issues.
The patented GDS® CAN Bus streamlines the data retrieval process and drivers experience by:
- Direct Data Storage: Captures RAW truck data and stores directly onto a tablet, ensuring immediate access and control.
Open Software Compatibility: Empowers companies to select their preferred third-party software or develop their own applications, promoting innovation and customization.
Cost Efficiency: Provides the opportunity to opt out of a subscription-based service to reduce long-term costs and simplify data management.
Integrated Power: Instead of forcing drivers to choose between power and data, the patented GDS® CAN Bus provides power alongside the data transfer via the USB-C connector.
