Description
 
The DP-512 DataPod is functionally similar to a ‘Black-Box’ on a Plane, though not quite as robust.
. . . The device is a small ‘Grey Box’ that is hidden away on the vehicle.
. . . The umbilical connection is via the ‘existing’ TrueLoad to Printer Comms Lead.
. . . An ‘iButton’ Connection Point is provided to Down-Load the Reports.
The Physical System is completed by:
. . . An iButton Reader attached to the Site PC.
. . . Combined with our Custom 'DP-512' Up-Load Software.
Features
 
The DP-512 System Operates as follows:
A, At completion of the 'TrueLoad' for the lorry, the DP-512 automatically receives the Transaction Report.
... Each individual Report is Time-Stamped, then Compressed and Stored.
... The most recent 32,600 Reports are retained, this equates to about 2 Years Data, at a typical rate of 80 Reports / Day.
... This is achieved without any Operator actions, no training is required at all.
B, Periodically, the Reports are Down-Loaded to an iButton, how quick do you need the Data?
... The iButton is then taken to the site PC, and the Reports are Up-Loaded into an Excel Spread-Sheet.
... The custom software provided initiates the Up-Load via a Single Mouse-Click.
It really is as simple as that...
