Streamline Commercial Vehicle Data Collection with Generative AI

For commercial vehicle OEMs, enabling the collection of vehicle data access is critical for supporting their vehicle platforms throughout their lifecycle. Additionally, robust data collection policies to help fleets are essential for optimizing uptime and minimizing maintenance costs. However, creating and deploying policies for data collection can be complex and time-intensive, often requiring deep technical expertise. Sonatus Collector AI simplifies this process by enabling dynamic, lightweight data collection across commercial vehicle OEMs.

Challenge

Collecting the right vehicle data is essential to preventing, diagnosing and mitigating vehicle issues, but:

Traditional policy creation demands time and specialized knowledge of raw CAN/J1939 signals.
Non-technical personnel often lack the tools to translate real-world issues into technical data policies.
Manual policy creation can be time-consuming and decrease fleet and OEMs’ ability to respond quickly.

For Example, identifying trucks with crankcase pressure anomalies often necessitates advanced diagnostic skills and signal analysis, which may be beyond the capabilities of many teams.

Solution

Sonatus Collector AI with Natural Language Policy Generation changes the game.

Users can effortlessly articulate their monitoring needs, such as “gathering data on engine operating conditions and potential causes of crankcase issues for a diesel truck.” The AI agent quickly generates a comprehensive policy in seconds, streamlining the process and enhancing efficiency.

Interprets intent from natural language.
Selects relevant vehicle signals (e.g., oil pressure, manifold pressure, coolant temp).
Configures appropriate start/stop conditions and signals to capture.
Makes the policy immediately deployable and can be fine-tuned even further.

Collector AI makes proactive diagnostics accessible to more roles, including engineering, customer service, and fleet operators.

Conclusion

With the integration of AI-powered policy generation, Sonatus’s Collector AI enhances the accessibility of data collection for all teams, including data engineers, product teams, and fleet managers. By facilitating the creation of dynamic data collection policies with natural language, the process becomes more efficient, greatly minimizing the time and expertise needed to address common fleet maintenance challenges.
