Transforming Modern Fleet Operations: The Power of Connected Vehicles
Modern fleet operations span a diverse range of industries—urban transit, logistics, construction, public safety, and utility services. No matter the domain, operators face a common set of challenges: disconnected systems, limited real-time visibility, and the growing need for smart, connected vehicle infrastructure.
While vehicles become more intelligent, many fleets still rely on a patchwork of legacy devices—each performing a single function, none communicating seamlessly. It’s time for a more integrated approach.
Key Challenges in Fleet Operations
- Siloed Vehicle Systems From engine diagnostics to camera feeds to driver interfaces, key systems often operate independently, creating gaps in visibility and slowing response time.
- Inefficient Maintenance & Updates Without centralized control, deploying software updates or troubleshooting field units requires manual access—delaying resolution and increasing labor cost.
- Scattered Data and Delayed Decisions Real-time decisions demand real-time data. But when vehicle systems don’t communicate with each other or the cloud, decision-makers are left in the dark.
WAYSION’s Q777 & V7S: Intelligent Terminals for Connected Fleets
The Q777 and V7S are rugged, Android-based mobile data terminals (MDTs) purpose-built for in-vehicle use. Whether installed in a city bus, a delivery van, a school bus, or a heavy-duty excavator, these MDTs serve as the digital interface between machine, driver, and fleet management platform.
Product Highlights
V7S – For Integrated Vehicle I/O
- Android 14, 7” sunlight-readable touchscreen
- Built-in CAN bus, GPIO, RS232, RS485
- Supports sensors, engine interfaces, door status, panic button, etc.
- IP65-rated, –20°C~70°C for harsh environments
- Ideal for: construction fleets, school buses, service trucks, etc.
Q777 – For Communication & Camera Preview
- Android 14, AHD input for 1 rear-view or interior camera
- RS232/485 interface, NFC for authentication
- Dual SIM 4G LTE + GNSS (GPS/GLONASS/BEIDOU)
- Ideal for: delivery vans, logistics vehicles, security fleets, etc.
Seamless Integration & Remote Management
WAYSION devices support MDM compatibility, allowing:
- Over-the-air (OTA) app and firmware updates
- Remote configuration and diagnostics
- Lock, wipe, or reboot devices from a central dashboard
- Health monitoring: storage, connectivity, battery, uptime
This makes fleet scaling easier and IT operations more efficient—especially when managing hundreds of mobile terminals across regions or countries.
Example Use Cases
- City Bus Fleet: V7S for I/O signal integration (brake, door, emergency); Q777 for rear-view display and dispatch interface
- Last-Mile Delivery: Q777 used for route navigation, barcode scanning, and 4G reporting
- Construction Equipment: V7S used to monitor hydraulic system via CAN and collect operating time via GPIO
- School Bus Fleet: V7S logs door activity and sends alerts; Q777 logs driver attendance via NFC
Smarter Fleets Start with Smarter Terminals
With increasing pressure for automation, safety, and visibility, rugged in-vehicle terminals are becoming essential to future-ready fleet operations.
WAYSION’s Q777 and V7S bring together I/O connectivity, camera integration, and cloud communication—bridging the gap between vehicle and control center.
