EV fleet management isn't fueling — it's charging, thermal management, and predictive battery health. iMatrix reads the BMS over CAN with FC-501, watches pack-bay ambient with NEO-1, and secures charge-port doors with Sentry-1. One stack from depot to dispatch.
Live SOC and SOH from the BMS. Range estimates that adjust for terrain and HVAC load — not just nameplate kWh.
Start, stop, peak power, energy delivered. Match charging events to specific stations and reconcile against utility bills.
BMS thermal data + independent NEO-1 ambient = redundant safety. Catches a runaway cell before the BMS gets to a fault flag.
EVs talk; FC-501 listens on CAN. But the most common safety failures — coolant leaks, charge-port intrusions, depot-floor heat — don't show up on the bus. NEO-1 and Sentry-1 close that blind spot.
Dual CAN bus reads pack voltages, cell deltas, SOC, SOH, charge-session telemetry, and thermal-management state. Multi-GNSS for charge-station geofencing. Decoded at the edge — only signals uplink.
Wireless temperature and humidity inside the battery enclosure or depot bay. Independent verification of BMS thermal data — and depot-floor monitoring during overnight charge.
Magnetic sensor on the charge-port flap or service-disconnect cover. Tamper alert if someone opens it off-shift. Audit trail for HVIP grant compliance.
FC-501 captures the BMS view. NEO-1 and Sentry-1 add the parts the BMS doesn't see. iMatrix Cloud puts it on one timeline so you don't choose between dashboards.
FC-501 polls pack SOC, SOH, individual cell voltages, thermal-loop temps, and charge-session messages. Cell-delta thresholds are configurable per chassis.
NEO-1 inside the pack enclosure (or above the depot charger bank) reports independently. Disagreement with BMS thermal data = a service ticket, not a guess.
Sentry-1 on the charge port flap and high-voltage service cover. Open events outside scheduled charge windows fire as security alerts.
iMatrix Cloud combines SOC + route + HVAC + traffic to give the dispatcher a real range envelope — not the nameplate one. Charging is scheduled before SOC becomes a stranding risk.
FC-501 produces the GPS + CAN log CARB asks for. Sentry-1 secures the charge port for grant audits. See California HVIP.
SOC vs. remaining stops. Dispatch flips to a backup vehicle before the route is impossible — not after.
Refuse, sweepers, yard tractors. PTO duty cycles, hydraulic loads, and battery thermal load all on one timeline.
