IoT gateways for telematics applications
Telematics – telecommunications and informatics – help to transfer mobile machinery data, in order to gather, store and process it in a cloud. Depending on the application, these data are for measuring and monitoring environmental parameters (e.g. temperature), machine data (e.g. position, fuel level), wear and tear data and logistics information.
Our IoT gateways are the key to connectivity – the hardware with which you can implement efficiency-raising telematics applications. Our gateways do not only enable applications such as condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, telemetry and software updates over-the-air – they are also prerequisite for the automation of mobile machinery.
Cloud connection and edge computing
Our IoT stories
Digitalization, connectivity and autonomous driving: very close to the trends of tomorrow - with our gateways, we actively contribute to these future developments. Our main focus: to offer each customer the best possible solution.
International certifications
Our gateways are already certified for the EU, EFTA States, USA and Canada (green). Product certifications are planned for South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and Russia (yellow). Do you need product certification for a specific country? Do not hesitate to contact us!
Free configurability
Based on the Linux operating system, the gateways are freely programmable and embedded in a fully configured Yocto build system. The open system with programming interfaces makes them universally applicable – full innovation capability for your applications.
Ideal network coverage and connectivity
Whether 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G in the future – our gateway portfolio supports all previously available mobile standards. The integrated modem manager constantly monitors and controls the connection quality. Therefore, your machine stays connected to the available network and has the best possible connectivity. A sudden network change in the field is not a problem. Our MCG is also equipped with two antennas. This antenna diversity ensures a higher data rate and better availability.
Performance
Whether simple applications with single-core i.MX6 processor or high-end solutions with quad-core processor: Depending on your requirements, our gateways do not only enable standard applications, e.g. localization and data transfer, but also specific applications, such as M2M communication and software update over-the-air (FOTA).
Comprehensive support services
To help you get started with our gateways, we are happy to conduct individually-designed introductory workshops and software training sessions with you. Firstly, we will discuss the application you would like to implement with our gateways and introduce you to the software tool chain. You are also welcome to carry out initial software implementation tests here. With our demo application for data collection and transfer to common clouds, as well as the configuration via Node-RED, this works very easily.We will be delighted to adapt workshop content to reflect your needs and wishes.I am very impressed with Liebherr Components technical support. The workshop on the introduction to the gateways software chain was helpful and technically very open and flexible.'
Lars Henning, Team Leader of the Electronic Powertrain department at IAV GmbH. IAV GmbH, an engineering company in the automotive industry, visited Liebherr Components for a workshop on software implementation.
Security
Your sensitive machine data is securely transferred and protected from unauthorized access. Our specially designed Chain-of-Trust concept offers you data security throughout the complete product life cycle, from product development until to end-of-life. The file system, communication, update and boot-mechanism are therefore encrypted and your machine is protected.
