Learn how Transight's partnership with the EV industry leader changed the game in EV data management, benefiting the entire sector and driving innovation.

Electric vehicles (EVs) and their batteries are built by many different manufacturers. Each one uses its own way of sending data inside the vehicle, a system called CAN (Controller Area Network). The problem? None of them use the same format.

This creates three big headaches

• The Protocol Gap - Every EV maker and battery supplier sends data in their own proprietary format. So when you try to read data from different vehicles, you’re dealing with dozens of different languages. Interpreting all of them manually is slow, messy, and error prone.
• The Scalability Barrier - Without deep knowledge of each vehicle model or direct access from the manufacturer, companies are essentially locked out of their own vehicle data. This slows down product development, diagnostics, and maintenance.
• No Unified System - The industry doesn’t have a single telematics system that can understand and speak multiple CAN formats at the same time. Everyone is stuck using separate tools for separate vehicles.

Transight built a telematics device that acts like a universal translator for EV datas.

Instead of a rigid, one-size-fits-all box, we created a device with an Embedded Intelligence Layer a smart system that automatically adapts to whichever vehicle it’s connected to. Plug it into any EV, and it figures out how to read that vehicle’s data, no matter what format it’s in.

Think of it this way: if every EV brand speaks a different language, Transight’s device is a real-time interpreter that understands all of them.

Here’s what makes the device work under the hood:

Hardware Agnostic Communication

Our devices are designed to connect with any EV system, regardless of the data format used. It doesn’t matter who made the vehicle or the battery the device will handshake (establish a connection) with it.

Configurable CAN Controller / Gateway

Traditional telematics devices have fixed software they can only read one type of CAN data. Transight’s device is different. It has a configurable CAN controller, which means:

• It can manage multiple CAN formats through a single device
• The CAN channel, communication mode, and data speed (Baud rate) can all be changed on the fly no need to reprogram or swap hardware
• It replaces what used to require multiple specialised devices with one flexible unit

• Filter-Based Independence The device captures data from any protocol using hardware-level filters. It doesn’t need to know the language in advance it figures it out automatically.
• High-Density Tracking It can handle up to 32 outgoing data streams and 30 incoming ones at the same time. That’s a lot of vehicle data flowing through one small device.
• Precision Timing The device can send data on a regular schedule or in instant bursts when something important happens. You control how often and when data is transmitted.

By switching from scattered, incompatible data to a single unified Transight system, the client achieved:

• Eliminated Data Silos All those different proprietary data formats? Now they’re automatically converted into one clean, standardised dataset. No more manual translation.
• Fleet-Wide Diagnostics Real-time visibility into battery health across the entire fleet including State of Charge (SoC), State of Health (SoH), and individual cell performance no matter which vehicle model it is.
• Predictive Maintenance Instead of waiting for something to break, the system now spots battery problems before they cause failures. This means less downtime and lower repair costs.
• OEM Flexibility When the client added a new vehicle model to their fleet, integration time dropped by 98%. What used to take weeks now takes hours, thanks to Transight’s configurable setup.

Transight didn’t just deliver a tracking device. We delivered what the industry calls a Rosetta Stone for EV data a single device that can read and translate any vehicle’s language into useful, standardised information. This project proves something important: the fact that every EV brand uses a different data format doesn’t have to be a barrier. With the right technology, it becomes a solved problem.

The result is better interoperability between different vehicle brands, faster fleet expansion, and a foundation for long-term innovation in electric mobility and battery management.
