Case Study

Telematics-Platform

The Client

Ampere Electric is a pure-play Electric Vehicle player in the EV industry, providing a wide range of energy-efficient products and solutions. Headquartered in Bengaluru with its manufacturing plants in Ranipet Tamil Nadu, they are backed by Greaves Electric Mobility. They offer eco-friendly transportation solutions including electric scooters, cycles, three wheelers, and customized vehicles. They serve customers through dealers in India with the option to shop online.

Project Objective: IoT-based Telematic Platform

Business Value: Niveus provided a seamless, secure, and  user-friendly experience for Ampere Electric users. We designed and developed a scalable  IoT-based Telematic Platform available on Android and iOS devices that provides real-time insights into their fleet of connected vehicles.

The client was looking to build a Cloud-native Telematics platform capable of supporting two versions of vehicles: the current ones, connected to mobile phones via Bluetooth Low Energy, and newer generation vehicles equipped with IoT devices. The solution is expected to roll out in a phased manner. For the initial phase, the client aimed to create a scalable pilot involving 100 two-wheelers.

The Impact

Improved fleet management and fleet health for a multinational restaurant chain with a fleet of over 10k connected vehicles

Implementations

  • The pilot phase consists of 80% IoT devices and 20% Bluetooth connected mobile phones. These devices generated data from different components of the vehicle, such as the battery, motor, and engine/flags
  • Verne was used for interacting with MQTT clients and push the data to Pub/Sub topics
  • Dataflow was used to process data on a real-time basis before loading it into the Cloud BigQuery
  • BigQuery was the target layer with Looker Studio over its table to create dashboards for the monitoring team
  • Google Cloud Storage was used for long term data storage & archival purposes
