Advantech-DLoG, leading international specialist for developing and manufacturing in-vehicle computing solutions has reason to be pleased thanks to its continued award-winning success. After the fleet management terminal TREK-743 was given an international industry award in February and the vehicle terminal DLoG MTC 6 in March, the company has now received a special prize. With the fleet management solutions TREK-753, TREK-510 and TREK-550 as well as the industrial PCs XMT 5, MTC 6, several current products were simultaneously presented with the renowned "Taiwan ITS/Telematics Excellent 100" award. The award is rarely given to non-Taiwanese companies; it is therefore all the more significant that products by DLoG have been honoured. The prizes underline the high degree of innovation, technological excellence and proximity to its target markets, which characterize the company Advantech-DLoG.
Within the context of the "ITS/Telematics Excellent 100" awards initiated by the Taiwanese Economics Ministry, the products from Advantech-DLoG received by far the most votes. The award winning TREK-753 is a vehicle terminal, which is equipped with all the functions required for efficient and economical fleet management: positioning/tracking, route planning, communication and data capture and transmission. The TREK-510 ensures efficient vehicle communications including tracking and positioning, supports the option of vehicle diagnosis, monitors driver performance and helps fleet managers effectively operate and manage their fleets.
The award was given to the TREK-550, a compact, fanless box PC that is used for fleet management of trucks, delivery vehicles, taxis, buses and emergency vehicles.
In March 2011, the CLTA (China Logistics Technology Association) declared the ultra-robust vehicle terminal MTC 6 as one of the "Top 10 Innovative Products of the Year". The decisive factors for the decision were its pioneering product features such as its especially high degree of robustness, stable design and great degree of flexibility. The MTC 6 is suitable for use in distribution centers, harbors, warehouses and in the refrigeration sector thanks to its numerous innovative functions and can increase the efficiency of logistics processes in these sectors.
Previous to that, the fleet management terminal TREK-743 won the "Best Product Award" of the Chinese trade journal Control Engineering China (CEC) in February 2011. The publications of CEC feature outstanding solutions for automation, control and process control engineering. TREK-743 from Advantech-DLoG was given the award thanks to its compact design, its communication and adaptation capabilities as well as its robustness, among other things. Because it is enhanced with GPRS and HSDPA modules and can provide voice and data accessibility to vehicle fleets in real time, it is especially well suited for use in emergency and special vehicles.
Sayed Maudodi, Fleet Management Product Manager at Advantech-DLoG, is very pleased about the widespread international recognition the products have received: "The various international awards are the best proof for us that we are on the right track with our products and technological developments. The products from Advantech DLoG are robust, flexible and efficient. They are the optimum solution when fleet management, vehicle management and vehicle communications solutions in harsh environmental conditions are required."
