Proving it works before committing
to the cost!
THE BRIEF
HARSH wanted to enhance its service offerings by offering an application that can control its products remotely. Utilises some built-in tools that are available on mobile devices.
THE PROBLEM
HARSH approached The Distance to help them design a new digital tool that would disrupt the traditional trucking industry. Historically, remote control solutions for vehicles were technically inadequate and prone to problems, resulting in health and safety risks. HARSH wanted to change this.
THE SOLUTION
The Distance designed and manufactured a proof-of-concept IOT device capable of both reading from a range of sensors and controlling a set of relays and switches. Once installed in a vehicle, this device acted as a CPU “brain” that could be controlled and managed from any Android device.
THE RESULTS
Not only did the solution provide dynamic real-time vehicle data from a wide range of sensors, but it also tracked part usage to trigger service and maintenance alerts, preventing part failure. By utilising Bluetooth technology, app users could control the vehicle remotely, improving safety and enhancing performance and efficiency.
