LEADING INNOVATION IN DATA AND TELEMATICS
About IRIS IRIS Technology was formed in 2001 to address offshore subsea telemetry markets and is now one of the leading specialist telematics companies in Europe Solutions span markets as diverse as Automotive an Offshore Oil and Gas. IRIS telemetry technology is available for every type of communications media from Fibre Optic and WiFi to GSM and CDMA. Core applications and services include: Remote Data Acquisition - IRIS s most advanced GSM based telemetry products are used by the world s Automotive OEMs and Tier One suppliers to acquire and process test data from vehicles in the field. The flexibility of the hardware combined with the proces sing power of ncode Automation or National software provides a flawless vehicle data acquisition and processing solution. Asset Management - High fuel prices and the demanding logistical requirements of the global distribution systems require more than basic tracking. IRIS offers shelf hardware and software solutions for service providers in the distribution and logistics market. Vehicle Monitoring - A number of Europe s leading stolen vehicle tracking service providers turned to IRIS to provide a product capable of meeting the exacting standards required by the Thatcham Category 5 standard. The IRIS products are in service with leading providers in the UK. Remote Telemetry and Diagnostics - The IRIS protocol, incorporated in the IRIS telematics platforms, allows users to be simultaneously connected to multiple remote instruments or sub-systems via a network structuresupported by GSM, ADSL or Optical Fibre and compatible with automotive CAN and MOST networks. The protocol is also supported by the TCP/IP and Ethernet leading network protocols. The IRIS protocol was developed to meet the demands of the offshore industry to provide mission critical, control and communication with remote vehicles and sub-systems located on the seabed. IRIS is incorporated in ground penetrating radar systems developed by ExxonMobil and Statoil. IRIS is currently working under the auspices of the Technology Strategy Board along with three other engineering firms on a project that will provide the UK economy with a world leading capability in tracking the environmental cost of transporting goods; offering the potential for consumer demand to encourage greater local sourcing. This could lead to significant regional economic stimulus. The flexibility of our core technologies - digital video, data acquisition, data compression and data telemetry - breaks down traditional boundarieanced functionality according to your needs. Highly innovative, we apply our expert technical knowledge and offer a truly end to end solution: A Telematics Enabler - through our Comms Hub Platform and Mobile Apps A Solution Provider - end to end, consultation, design, manufacture and implementation A Hardware Supplier our own productor sourced, enabled by Comms Hub
Automotive OEM In today s market Automotive OEMs are moving at a much higher technological pace, yet still have the need to test and evaluate development and pre-production vehicles prior to product launch. Anything which has the potential to reduce the manufactured cost of the vehicle or the cost to the manufacturer of that vehicle during its in service life is an attractive proposition. Increasing the life of a component, validating performance claims, eliminating recalls, reducing warranty costs are important drivers in this market. IRIS has successfully installed data acquisition systems (IRIS 1002) into vehicles located in UK, USA, China and Korea allowing manufacturers to access performance data remotely from vehicles deployed across the world. The IRIS 1002 is a remote datancluding HSDPA (GSM 3G) and 802/11G (Wi-Fi) as media over which data acquired by the device from the vehicle CAN network is downloaded. The IRIS 1002 also has on board Compact Flash memory of up to 32 GB to store the logged data prior to download. The availability of a geographically local server will provide a means to download the vehicle data prior to the transfer of downloaded data to the main manufacturer s server via a wide area network connection or the Internet. CANbus data acquisition solution: Design and build Web based data acquisition systems Communications Networks including WIFI, 3G GSM and RF The provision of flexible communications protocols allows disparate systems to be seamlessly interconnected The IRIS 1002 and FMS hardware provided remote CANbus Data acquisition and file processing compatible with Glyphworks S3T, National Instruments DIAdem and other industry formats Features IRIS delivers exceptionally client friendly solutions: Out of the box plug and play Autonomous operation Self contained Once installed requires minimal technical knowledge to operate Robust compared to PC based alternatives Ease of scalability Future proof Flexray ready In summary, we provide an exceptionally high specification CANbus data acquisition and communication telematics solution that conforms to the highest industry standards.
Fleet Management Our Fleet Management Solution (FMS) delivers ROI well beyond the first year of fuel savings. In addition to helping you reduce fuel consumption; operational efficiencies and improving field staff management can all be attained. Our FMS will: Help you to sell more by providing competitive advantage Reduce overheads by automating timesheet and man-hour reports Provide the tools to manage your Mobile Workforce more effectively According to Zurich, fleet management solutions could cut companies fleet running costs by 10% and save up to 11% on fuel bills. IRIS has developed a range of value added services for a world renowned Leasing, Rental and Fleet Management Services Business to support sales development and customer retention strategies. The range of services include the development of in vehicle and back office systems to ensure that data acquired remotely from the vehicle CAN Bus and the Tachograph can be downloaded, enabling valuable specific driver information to be analysed alongside actual vehicle data. The FMS solution is typically made up from: Comms Hub Fleet Manager Portal FMS unit Non-branded hardware Truly adaptable, FMS provides: Operational Efficiency Route Management Transport White Board Driver Vehicle Check Vehicle Location Vehicle/Route Alerts Driver Debriefs Vehicle Performance Driver Style Profiling Journey Reports Compliance and Best Practice Driver Hours Reports Carbon Report Powerful Automated Reports Behind Fleet Manager sits an exceptionally powerful platform that is capable of processing complex data sets and algorithms in an instant. This results in a classleading, flexible reporting engine with a full suite of reports, ranging from very detailed to high level. In addition to this FMS and CANBus information is supported when using IRIS FMS.
Oil and Gas IRIS has a long term relationship with a leading technical software development company in Scandinavia, whose capabilities include developing software for the overlay of text and graphics on live video as well as for user configurable, multipurpose hydraulic tooling systems deployed on Oil Rigs across the world. The IRIS protocol was developed to meet the demands of the offshore industry to provide mission critical, control and communication with remote vehicles and sub-systems located on the seabed. IRIS is incorporated in ground penetrating radar systems developed by ExxonMobil and Statoil. Video & Data Fusion The user may specify character size, colour and fonts for each element of overlay. 3 channels of full resolution video Compatible with both PAL and NTSC standards Simultaneous Y/C and composite outputs Selectable Y/C or composite inputs Transparent overlay or 255 colours at video resolution Full resolution video frame capture Built to withstand the toughest environments on the planet, our Video and Data products are used the world over. With a 95% market share, the success speaks for itself. Real-time Video with Data The IRIS Video overlay card overlays data on up to three independent video channels, acquires digital video frames - with or without overlay data super-imposed and together with an appropriate software suite controls and synchronises chains of video/data recorders using the time-encoding facility. The interfacing routines enable users to describe any number of incoming data telegrams on any number of input RS232 and USB communication ports. Users can configure the layout of each overlay channel using standard Windows drag-and-drop control and the incoming variables are displayed in text or picture boxes on each overlay.
