The mission of our company was to develop a solution for data monitoring and the Internet of Things with predictive maintenance and machine learning functions.
Challenge
Meeting the demands of the low-carbon economy
Transport capacity and pollution are an ever-growing problem in cities around the world. By 2025, London and other major cities will only be allowed to buy zero-emission buses. Also, all of London’s bus fleets must be upgraded to the Euro VI standard by 2020, with all ultra-low emission zone vehicles either electric or hybrid. The new legislation will require detailed data reports to prove these conditions have been met.
Company designs technologies that connect and electrify the powertrains for heavy-duty vehicles, incorporating their own lithium-ion battery pack. The company needed a solution that would allow manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles and vehicle systems to go-to-market faster. Additionally, OEMs and operators needed a way of tracking the vehicle control software, post-deployment, to monitor the lithium-ion battery systems.

Result
Working together, AWS and SimpleXoft developed a fully-operational solution that has been improving the cost control and performance of a growing fleet of retrofit buses.
SimpleXoft customized solution enabled operators and OEMs to receive insight and reporting into over 6,000 data points from each vehicle. This allowed the development of a solution that monitors issues early on, resulting in $50,000 in savings per vehicle, and an 80% reduction of operational costs. The company reduces time to market by six months, reducing operating costs by more than 80%.
