The Client

guidelines for municipal management practices regarding street sweeping, plowing and other
cleaning tasks.

locations in their municipality.

• Reports of what was done in certain areas

Ruptela's Provided Solution

By connecting the cleaning equipment to one of the digital inputs (DINs) of the device, it is possible
to monitor their state and what work they are doing (plowing, salting, sanding, sweeping and other
cleaning tasks).

Visualization
By using the TrustTrack platform, the clients can name each connected input accordingly, based on
what equipment is connected.

Clicking on Route and equipment usage display allows the selection of parameters to be
displayed on the map. Show route shows/hides the light blue line that indicates the route. Show
equipment usage opens a list of available equipment usage events. Only one event can be selected
at a time. Different equipment usages will be shown on the map in different colors.

2
Reports
The clients can generate different reports based on what information is required.

The Geozones report will provide information on when the vehicle entered a specified zone and what
kind of work was done there. The DIN working times display how long the equipment assigned to
that digital input was in use (in this example: DIN1 – Plowing, DIN2 – Sanding, DIN3 – Salting).

The Trips report gives full information about the work done by specified vehicles, working days,
hours and the duration for each activity that was performed.

Tracking Device Configuration
To configure the digital inputs, you need to upload the default configuration file over-the-air
(DIN1, DIN2, DIN3 are activated by default) or by connecting the device to a computer and with
help of Device Center, enter the IP, port, APN settings and save the configuration to the device.

To get the working hours of each connected equipment, you will need to configure the DIN (1-4) hour
counter parameters by opening the Advanced Configurator and selecting Options under IO events.
Select a DIN1-4 hour counter parameter and set the Event on to Monitoring and Priority to Low.
