The CanGINE2 is an application used in Fleet Management Systems for distribution companies.
The app enables companies to download tachograph data remotely via 3G or Wi- Fi, directly from the drivers equipped with an Android 2.3+ smartphone.
It uses a Bluetooth connection to remotely authenticate the tachograph device on the vehicle and a company card safely placed in a smart-card reader on a Windows XP+ server. The entire download sequence is managed by the application, so by simply pressing a button, the tachograph data will be saved on the Android device's SD card in .DDD format. The data can then be retrieved from the phone remotely, via a Wi-Fi or a 3G connection from the company office.
It supports all tachographs that use CAN protocol via the CANGine2 device and a LM048 serial to the Bluetooth device.
