Literally tens of thousands of ADS computers go to work on fleets of all sort, every day. The inventor of the term, "Blue Collar Telematics" Applied Data is familiar with vehicle rated power supplies, GPS, CAN Bus, J1708, and all the other technologies you need to make a system run reliably on a vehicle. Some of these customer shave been with ADS for five generations of underlying hardware technology. If you want to get an estimate for your vehicle based systems, contact us.

Rugged ADS Designs for SAE shock and vibration

CADEC Truck Computer

CADEC has developed four generations of wireless computers with ADS systems running Windows CE on StrongARM and XScale, in a "Mobile Logistics Management System. Click here to see how ADS and CADEC cooperated on this Truck Computer.

True Single Board Design
we give you everything you want on an industrial-strength board that includes fast serial interfaces to whatever you want.

DCS Local Delivery Truck Management

DCS incorporates ADS technologies within a "wireless communication platform" called the Diplomat. This portable unit is used by companies with a mobile work force to track their traveling vehicles for more efficient deliveries and route planning.

This is another good example of an ADS solution for in-vehicle telematics.

Managed Code Complex models, no memory leaks

Greer Equipment Automation

Greer A division of Dover Industries used ADS systems to develop its MicroGuard rated capacity limiter, a device that uses a real-time model of crane load and condition to indicate available load capacity for each lift of the crane. See how this Realtime Model- Based Control system was designed.

Real Time CAN bus updates 50 times per second

Mid-Tech Legacy 6000 for Precision Farming

The Legacy 6000 redefines chemical and fertilizer application control for the agriculture industry. Built around an ADS Graphics Master, the L6K is a ruggedized computer with Mid-Tech proprietary CAN control system software and on board Geographic Information System (GIS) software.

Vehicle Rated Power Supplies
To work in a vehicle, you need special power supplies.

Solar Challenge Powered by ADS

Principia College selected ADS' Graphics Master for their solar car, the Ra. All cars must be powered solely by sunshine! Principia students used the Graphics Master for battery management. For example, calculations about the car's speed, weather conditions, topography, etc are vital for planning the ride "real time."
