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.
