“Intangles’ predictive AI systems alerts fleet operators to vehicle issues before a vehicle fault code is triggered. This creates substantial savings in operating costs by improving fuel efficiency, reducing downtime, decreasing maintenance costs, and often results in cheaper repairs.
Intangles, a young but already very well established and heavily backed tech company, has developed a world leading AI product that can predict when a vehicle is going to fail with 96% accuracy. Customer fleets in the US are reporting a reduction in fuel use of up to 10%, reduction in maintenance costs of up to 10%, and a reduction in breakdowns of up to 75% – figures that represent enormous savings.
The Intangles system monitors all the data that is processed in a vehicle’s CANbus in real time – this equates to millions of data points every day. Their algorithms then use physics-based modelling (i.e. how an engine functions in different conditions) to produce a digital twin (i.e. a digital replica) of each individual vehicle’s systems. This is then used with the information from the live vehicle to create an accurate model of current vehicle health and then raise alerts to the fleet manager where there are causes for concern, along with the ordered recommendations to address the problem. A vehicle could therefore be on a run and a minor predictive alert could be raised informing the maintenance staff of work that can be scheduled upon the vehicle’s return. Alternatively, in the case of a critical alert, the vehicle could be diverted to avoid breakdown and costly recovery. Note that the in-vehicle device operates passively – in “listening mode” only – and does not interfere with the CAN Bus or vehicle systems.
The Intangles system has been installed on over 250,000 vehicles worldwide and so the dataset is incredibly rich – they hold over 60 TB of curated (i.e. directly relevant and usable) data – a figure that increases daily. When new engine platforms are introduced to the AI, accurate new models are created in just a few days of vehicle operation. Furthermore, because of the climatic data that Intangles have gathered (ranging from the Canadian Rockies to the deserts of Rajasthan at 50°C) they have an incredibly rich dataset to enhance the quality of the digital twins.
The Intangles solution is OEM and powertrain agnostic and currently supports over 3,000 different engine specifications across multiple vehicle classes and fuel sources (ICE, alternative fuels, and Electric). The Intangles InRoute platform also contains a full suite of telematics and driver behaviour monitoring features, allowing fleets to maintain awareness of all aspects of their operations from in a single view. Easy to use and simple to learn, the platform comes with a convenient iOS and Android mobile app which can keep you informed on critical alerts while on the go. Device installation can be done in just a few minutes and is guaranteed to not interfere with any other existing systems in the vehicle.
Overall, the Intangles solution offers fleets unparalled value through multiple areas of benefit. Fleets will experience lower maintenance and fuel costs along with increased availability thanks to the accuracy of the insights that the system provides.
UK Launch. Intangles is currently looking for UK partners to come on board and trial the equipment (free of charge) as we enter the UK market. Partners will also benefit from an early partner discount when they choose to subsequently subscribe.
