And that you can already look at the smartphone engine temperature of your baby and running your finger on the sensor phone to start a car? Why is not this all the news? Because even if the project is successful, global players in the automotive industry will not allow breakthrough technologies to "steal" their bread. Therefore, when steep young projects grow to certain sizes - they are eaten. : (I hope it will be different!
Big automotive players have already approached us. It is not within their resources to combine hardware that is capable to reach all the cars currently on the highway. You will see some level of this tech in the future within automotive engine management manufacturers. Companies like Bosch, Fuji, Hitachi, they already have years mapped out for design and manufacturing. To get all internal departments on board to design a product in the way Gluon has, is not always a simple task.
Those global players will rely on companies like ours to give them information from various parts of the world. This type of information is very valuable to them for parts manufacturing and distribution.
Our hardware is equipped with 3G/4G/LTE, wifi, bluetooth, and has storage capabilities along with an accelerometer and GPS. There are many cars on the highway that are fully networked and provide a ton of critical data useful to parts manufactures, parts providers, repair facilities, and consumers. I've barely scratched the surface. Fleet management is in need of a device like this monitoring critical sensor output and failures within their network. That is where blockchain comes in to capture and store this data securely.
There are devices in the market that can read your standard protocol from OBDII. Engine temp, coolant temp etc. Those devices do not have access to other modules that do fail and provide information on the vehicle network like climate control, ABS, SRS, or traction control systems. The Gluon device has the ability to access the entire network while providing/storing the data collected for various purposes.
Great question, thanks for posting.
Have a great day.
I didn't quite understand. That is, your device will be connected on CAN-bus line or will need to install additional sensors on different technical node and parts of a car?
Our device has been completely designed and built in house. The device itself incorporates 3G/4G/LET wireless chip, high end processor, data storage, accelerometer, gps, wifi, and bluetooth. We've also been working with some of the worlds best engine management tuners. Most tools only access and display information that are emissions related. We're gathering information off the entire network. Anything the end user, independent shop, or parts manufacture needs from the vehicle. We want to display and give access to the communication taking place on the low speed, and high speed CAN. Fully networked vehicles already have sensors and data that is available to collect and view. Information will vary based on what the OE provides in the network.
Very exciting stuff!
Do you have relations ony with German brands or is it a universal device?
We really appreciate the support and comments. Fact is our background is heavy in the automotive sector. We have so many wonderful enthusiasts on board making this project so much fun. Entering the space of crypto and blockchain makes it that much better. We're so excited to have partners like Stratis providing us a platform to grow our services and tackle the automotive industry head on. Real product, real people, and real passion behind all of it. I'm glad our supporters are recognizing that.
We began with some of our largest resources testing and implementing the product. Most of those resources specialize in European cars. Volvo, VW, and Audi are among some of the most complex networks so we started there. One of our largest priority is fleet management which will require some facets of our service to be universal, but the tool has the ability to be customized to specific manufactures. We have the ability to cater to the end user and their own specific needs.
Stay tuned
