Mobile Resource Management
Mobile Resource Management (MRM) is the process of optimizing, dispatching and tracking the use of assets and
people that are involved in the movement of goods. The focus domains covers asset management, fleet management,
and mobile workforce.
Fleet Management Solutions
Asset Management
Intralogistics and warehouse applications have a single goal: error-free stock management. Knowing item location,
quantities on-hand, stock-outs, re-order triggers, space and scheduling, how to minimize movement and manage
assets in a harsh, high pressure environment are only some of the challenges faced. Fast, correct, real-time data
capture and access are key issues. Advantech-DLoG brings advanced computing to extreme environments, coping
with dust, shock, vibration, humidity, impact, physical abuse, and extreme temperatures. From mechanical engineering
to radio antenna design, from rugged to extreme, Advantech-DLoG ensures the security of your assets and helps you
to manage them.
Fleet Tracking
Advantech-DLoG in-vehicle computing and fleet management solutions translate real-time data about vehicles, cargo,
deliveries and workers into dynamic, understandable displays that help increase productivity and lower operating
costs. Operational costs are constantly on the increase. Fleet managers usually try to solve the need for vehicle tracking,
followed by driver accountability, on-time delivery, monitoring vehicle usage, number of stops, etc. And high fuel
costs, the largest business expense outside of the fleet manager's control, can be offset by automated vehicle location
tracking and by reporting and analyzing vehicle data. Vehicle tracking, scheduling software and asset management
improves a manager's fleet monitoring abilities to streamline mobile work activity and reduce company operating
expenses.
Mobile Workforce
Mobile workers worldwide are empowered by reliable mobile devices that enable them to work productively. Reliable
connectivity to networks, ergonomic design to support working outdoors for long periods of time, and expanded data
capture functions to fit different management systems are key issues when selecting a mobile computers. Advantech-
DLoG understands your needs, and provides industrial-grade mobile computing devices with strong and reliable
hardware design to survive in harsh environments; flexible selectable function modules to fit different systems; and
light-weight design and accessories to reduce burden over the entire work day.

Advantech-DLoG Capabilities
Design Capability - Power Design
Advantech-DLoG TREK Series
Provides In-vehicle Power Design
The first priority for the in-vehicle environment is solving the crucial problems presented by dirty power sources. In
most present-day motorized vehicles, DC power storage is provided by a lead-acid rechargeable battery, and that
battery is charged by the engine and the generator or alternator. The DC voltage in such a vehicular environment is
seriously impacted by ignition signals, motor RPMs (speeding up or slowing down), loading devices (audio system,
MOD, PND, lamps, horn, etc.) and the temperature.
Power Management
Efficient powernet energy management requires embedded software control. Software design must be integrated with
hardware design from the beginning of power development to avoid complications during system implementation.
Power Management Flow Diagram
Initial
Wide DC Input Range
Normally, for a 12V/24V vehicular power system, the DC voltage may go down to 6V/8V during peak loading (see
Figure 1), and it may be subject subject to engine charging up to a maximum of 32~34 V. If there were no power
protection, this dirty power input might cause a fleet management system malfunction; in fact this very thing
happens easily in old trucks. Therefore, providing for a wide DC input voltage range avoids damage to the system.

The automotive environment is fraught with electrical hazards. These hazards, including electromagnetic interference,
electrostatic discharges and other electrical disturbances, are generated by various vehicular sub-systems such as
ignition, relay contacts, alternator, injectors, and accessories. These generated hazards can occur directly in the wiring
harness in case of conducted hazards, or may affect electronic modules indirectly via induction. These hazards can
impact the electronics in two ways—either on the data lines or on the power rail wires, depending on the environment.
Therefore, in order to assure good power design, Advantech-DLoG TREK series products are always certified—our
guarantee of design quality.

Promised Working Temperature
Keep Your Cool with Wide-Range Thermal Solutions
Industrial-grade computing systems are designed to work under extreme conditions. In a vehicle, it is possible for
temperatures to reach up 70º C. Hardware expected to perform in these conditions requires special design and
materials, special cooling considerations, and extensive temperature testing. Software must be designed with thermal
management in mind, and stringent testing should be performed to ensure reliable performance under extreme and
rapidly changing temperatures.
Rugged Design
Fleet Management systems can be installed at many locations in a vehicle. But with varying road conditions and
driving situations, shocks and vibrations can impact these systems. In response to this concern, Advantech-DLoG
performs a series of life cycle profile tests designed to test environmental conditions and physical acceleration on
its mobile data products. These tests allow engineers to design products that withstand vibration and shock, and
comply with SAE J1455 MIL-STD-810G , and EN60721-3-5 class 5M3 standards.
Design Capability - Thermal Solutions
and Rugged Design
How does Advantech-DLoG technology reduce the impact of shock and vibration?
Increased Reliability for Long-Term Peace of Mind
Systems designed to run under a wide range of temperatures operate more reliably, and protect investments. System
monitors can be programmed to send warning notifications or to shutdown systems when certain thresholds are
reached. More reliable equipment can handle the demand from fluctuating changes in temperature, and operation
across large geographic areas, helping fleet managers maintain a competitive edge.
Advantech-DLoG's broad range of mobile data terminal products is suitable for use in any vehicle—including
trucks, transit buses, taxis, subways, and light rail. Advantech-DLoG strives to produce mobile data terminals that
perform ever more reliably under the severe conditions that occur in mobile environments.

1. About standards
Advantech-DLoG's in-vehicle TREK series products all support operation under a wide range of working temperatures.
TREK series devices were tested in accordance with SAEJ1455 4.1.3.1 standards over a 24 hr period; the results are
shown below for reference:
SAE J1455 Figure 2a - 24 Hour Thermal Cycle
SAE J1455 Figure 2b - Short (8 Hour) Thermal Cycle
Advantech-DLoG responds to the problems associated with
electronic systems operating in harsh vehicle environments by
thorough research and design. Quality Assurance personnel
physically test products in the environment in which they will be
used. The development and testing that is conducted follow SAE
J1455 4.9.4.2, and MIL-STD-810G 514.5 , and EN60721-3-5 class
5M3 standards.
The “EN60721-3-5 class 5M3” standard certification means the
product can withstand three times the shock and vibration of most
military MIL-810G grade computing devices.

2. How we achieve wide range temperature operation
During the early design stage, a thermal simulation is performed and reviewed against actual test results. Key
components for durability testing are put under a wide range temperature test as defined for industrial equipment (-40
to 85° C) (see Figure 2b). The result is that the system is able to operate without failure at a range of -30 to 70° C (see
Figure 2a).
