POV: Marc Boersma, Director of Product

There's three things I love about the C1-Core.

Number one, its ability to work within a mixed fleet on any asset from a small skid steer or a forklift all the way up to a big excavator. It has the IOs and the features to work with all of those assets at a price point that actually makes sense, across the range of cost of those assets.

The second thing is the unique way we've structured the architecture, allowing customers to develop their application from bare bone Linux like it's a device that they are having us contract manufacture all the way up to a plug-and-play telematics gateway that they immediately plug into an asset and have fleet management data reporting into their own UI.

And the third thing is the scalability of the software. The ability to have a customer replace their application with something totally new and revolutionary without replacing the hardware is extremely strategic, so they can truly maximize the investment in the hardware that they've made.

On the hardware side, the C1-Core is also scalable in terms of having automotive Ethernet, dual CAN, RS-485, a suite of digital and analog IOs that allow them to, as use cases change or new data points pop up, use the same hardware to empower those data centers.
