Our
Solution

dSense, our IoT based location and live analytics solution was deployed to keep track of the vehicles and also the operators in the service stations. Bluetooth low energy (BLE) smart ID cards were provided to all the operators and staff and BLE smart tags were attached to all vehicles entering the service station premises. Smart sensors called CloudSense were installed at specific locations in each of the service stations. BLE signals transmitted from these smart ID cards and tags were captured by CloudSense devices and sent to the dSense cloud in real-time. All the real-time analytics and reports were generated as alerts and notifications via web and mobile dashboards accessible by the service station administrators.

By adopting dSense, the client was able to easily keep track of the service and repairs that were done for the cars and were also able to improve their overall efficiency with the reports and analytics
