ELMLAB, GPS Fleet inks MoU to launch digital telemetry solutions
KUALA LUMPUR: Tech solutions company, ELMLAB, has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with fleet management and logistics technology solutions provider, GPS Fleet, to launch telemetry digital telemetry solutions in fleet management, leveraging on 4G/ 5G initiatives.
In a press statement, it said, with the ever-growing utilisation of digital telemetry solutions such as found in Internet of Things (IoT) devices nationwide, ELMLAB is committed in its partnership with GPS Fleet, championing the accelerated adoption of Internet of Things to help drive forth Malaysia’s advancement towards the fifth Industry Revolution (5IR).
According to the terms of the MoU, ELMLAB will be looking to develop the telemetry tracker, enabling more digital telemetry solutions in the market.
GPS Fleet will work with commercial vehicle partners in the industry to accelerate the adoption of digital telemetry solutions like driver monitoring systems that feature facial recognition and live monitoring of companies’ fleet through 4G and 5G connectivity.
This system delivers accurate detections of fatigue, distraction, smoking and bad driving behaviours. This partnership aims to introduce ELMLAB’s telemetry tracker to a wider industry, marking the company’s first step towards a vision of providing sustainable technological solutions for more Malaysian businesses.
“In an era when the global economy is being transformed by IoT solutions and tools, we believe that the telemetry tracker will be essential for industries in Malaysia. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with GPS Fleet to help businesses incorporate IoTenabled solutions.
“By increasing the efficiency of their fleet management whilst ensuring the safety of their assets and drivers, we hope to move towards establishing a robust digital supply chain in future,” ELMLAB director Choo Tzer Maan shared.
“With the rising interest in digital adoption over the last two years, we are excited to embark on this partnership with ELMLAB to bring a locally engineered telemetry tracker into the market, offering solutions that will ensure that organizations like logistics companies and car manufacturers, among others, will have access to driver monitoring and live monitoring of vehicles to improve road safety,” GPS Fleet chief executive officer Michael Chin said.
With the government’s rollout of the 5G network this year, it is evident that Malaysian businesses are in need of a radical technological leap to remain competitive on the global stage. This can be achieved through the growth of IoT use amongst other technologies.
ELMLAB aims to assist
Malaysian businesses in establishing customised and pertinent technology innovations to catch up with the country’s rapid strides towards 5G implementation and the fifth industrial revolution (5IR).
