Advantech, a front-runner in ePlatform service provision, has announced that it is planning to launch the TREK-725, a terminal that can be mounted in a vehicle.
TREK-725 aims to lower the implementation costs for geographic information system (GIS) and field fleet management applications.
Powered by Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 and the Intel Xscale IXP420 533MHz processor, TREK-725 is ideal for light-duty computing tasks for industrial vehicles such as chemical trucks, oil tankers and fire engine vehicles.
The built-in GPS module is designed for navigation and tracking applications.
Optional GSM/GPRS and wireless LAN modules can be integrated to enable real-time communications.
With TREK-725, customers can now easily run their CE-based applications, which provides a greater return on investment by enabling them to easily adopt future emerging technologies and applications.
The built-in Controller Area Network (CAN) bus serves as the standard input/output interface that facilitates smooth data transfer inside vehicles.
A TFT LCD with resistive touch screen makes the unit easy to operate.
TREK-725 supports fleet management applications with GPS, GSM/GPRS, and CAN bus interfaces.
Dynamic routing information sent via GSM/GPRS can be combined with GPS location data to enable a driver to navigate between pick-up and drop-off points.
A real-time map can be shown on the clear LCD screen using GIS software in the TREK-725.
The CAN interface can relay information from pressure, temperature, flow, stress, speed and acceleration sensors to a control centre for further processing.
In addition, six programmable function keys and six hot-keys located on both sides of the LCD provide user-friendly access for most common functions without looking at the screen.
An optional back-up battery can keep the TREK-725 operating for up to two hours.
Even if a power outage occurs, the computer will still function to transmit or back up critical data, and allow for a proper system shutdown.
