L7Drive - Connected Vehicle solution
One of the first customer projects utilizing newly announced SADE Booster IoT Asset was developed for a Finnish startup company L7Drive.
L7Drive is developing innovative electric powertrain and battery solutions for small and medium size electric vehicles. L7Drive contacted SADE Innovations end of 2018 to develop a Connected vehicle concept where vehicle equipped with L7Drive powertrain solution is connected to cloud using cellular data connectivity.
As an end result from this project, SADE Innovations delivered a solution where each electric vehicle and its power train is connected to cloud using an IoT connectivity hardware module which is based on our IoT Core Node building block. This hardware module communicates over CAN bus towards electric vehicle and over secure cellular connection towards cloud. In addition to this functionality, connectivity module also contains built-in GPS for obtaining vehicle location. Note that the same hardware solution was used to connect vehicle with L7Drive phone app over Bluetooth LE connection.
Cloud solution is built on top of serverless architecture in AWS cloud infrastructure enabling scalable, global and cost efficient basis for data storage, remote control and device management. End user functionality related to managing vehicle fleet is implemented as React Web UI providing data visualization and remote control UIs for the fleet manager.
From business point of view, this project delivered an important new technology solution for L7Drive enabling them to target also customers interested in developing different vehicle fleets using L7Drive electric power train solution (for example companies developing shared/rented electric scooters).
For SADE Innovations, this project provided excellent customer insight for developing general purpose SADE Booster IoT asset. With the help of L7Drive and their requirements, SADE has been able to crystallize what are truly the common requirements and building blocks for an end-to-end IoT/connected device solution.
After this project, the developed architecture has been further enhanced and generalized towards SADE Booster building blocks (Core Node, IoT Cloud and Web UI) that can be used as a starting point for any connected device/IoT solution.
