A data collection device housed in a rugged plastic enclosure with display, keypad, memory, PC connectivity and rechargeable long life battery makes it an ideal choice to operate in remote places to collect data.

The unit communicates with a contact less Read & Write Smart Card or Token mounted over a Truck or vehicle. Token is a tiny electronic chip, sealed in a water-resistant stainless steel tamper-proof enclosure, of the size of a coin.

Each card or Token may be pre-programmed once through a PC and software to store Vehicle ID-number, its weight, and other useful data.

At Source, a Token is touched to the unit or a contact less Smart Card is flashed. The unit reads Vehicle ID-number, its weight, and other data from token or card. The user enters certain details like trip code, route code, material code, material weight, loading flag and other details through keypad. These details with the Location-ID, date and time are transferred to token or card and carried by the vehicle to the next destination. A copy is also stored in unit as a record for cross checking them at the end of the day to prevent any tampering of mobile data.

At destination, the token or card is read by similar new unit and validations performed. New details like unloading flag, date and time of arrival of Truck or vehicle and new trip code etc. are entered through keypad. These details are again saved on token or card and unit as a new record.

These records from all units and all tokens or cards are transferred to a PC . They are then processed with a software to compute total miles covered, time taken, the net weight of material a vehicle carried, the fuel consumed and payment to vehicle owners or contractors for a day or week or month.
