Plug-In Unloading Detection for European Fleet Telematics

Webfleet. Transics. Volvo Connect. DAF Connect. Scania Fleet Management. MAN RIO. Microlise. Masternaut. European fleet operators run a wide variety of telematics platforms — and most of them have invested significantly in their existing setup: hardware on vehicles, driver training, integrations with TMS and ERP systems, management dashboards built around their provider's UI.

The last thing a fleet technology manager wants to hear is "you need to replace your telematics system to get this feature."

You don't. Intugine's activity sensing module is a plug-in layer — it connects to the data feed from your existing European telematics provider and adds unloading detection, activity classification, and verified delivery events on top. Your hardware stays. Your provider stays. Your dashboard stays. You just get the behavioral intelligence layer that your current system doesn't offer.

What Your Current European Telematics Provides vs. What Activity Sensing Adds

Activity sensing doesn't compete with your telematics platform. It extends it.

Integration Architecture: How It Connects

The integration is a one-way data connection: activity sensing reads from your telematics platform, processes the telemetry stream through the AI classification engine, and outputs structured activity events to your operations systems.

Step 1: Telematics Data Feed Connection

Every major European telematics platform offers a data API or export. The connection method varies by provider:

Webfleet (TomTom Telematics) — The most widely deployed fleet telematics platform in Western Europe. Integration uses the Webfleet LINK 510/710 data feed via the Webfleet Solutions API. Requires API credentials from your Webfleet account. Setup time: 1 day.

Transics TX-SKY — Common among Belgian, Dutch, and German transport operators. Connects via the Transics REST API using your existing TX-SKY account credentials. Setup time: 1–2 days.

Volvo Connect — Integrates via Volvo's TPMS and telematics API for fleets running Volvo FH, FM, and FMX trucks. Setup time: 1–2 days.

DAF Connect — Connects via DAF's Connect API. Available for DAF CF and XF fleet operators. Setup time: 1–2 days.

Scania Fleet Management — Integrates via Scania's Fleet Management API. Available for operators with Scania Communicator units. Setup time: 1–2 days.

MAN RIO — Connects via MAN's RIO platform API for MAN TGX and TGS fleets. Setup time: 1–2 days.

Microlise — Common in UK bulk logistics. Integrates via the Microlise API. Setup time: 2–3 days.

Masternaut — Connects via Masternaut's telematics data API. Used across France and the UK. Setup time: 2–3 days.

Custom / Legacy Units — For operations running non-standard or older GPS units without a real-time API, position and basic telemetry data is ingested via FTP file or CSV export. Activity classification accuracy is slightly lower but core unloading detection remains functional.

Step 2: Signal Enrichment

Once connected, the activity sensing engine receives your full telemetry stream — position, speed, heading, engine state, and critically, any accelerometer or PTO data your units collect. The AI classification model processes this stream and identifies the activity signatures associated with loading, unloading, idling loaded, and idling empty for your specific vehicle types.

Step 3: Vehicle Type Calibration

European bulk vehicle fleets vary significantly. The classification model is calibrated during implementation for your specific fleet composition:

Silo trucks (pneumatic bulk cement tankers) — The compressor and pressure valve operation during pneumatic discharge is a distinct signal

Concrete mixer drums — Drum rotation speed and direction changes during discharge have a characteristic signature

Tipper / dump trucks — Hydraulic tipping mechanism engagement is detectable from PTO and accelerometer signals

Walking-floor trailers — Floor drive engagement during discharge is classifiable from PTO state

Curtainsider / flatbed — For mixed fleets, manual unload detection is based on extended stationary periods correlated with destination type

Step 4: Event Output Configuration

Activity events are output to wherever your operations team needs them:

Option A — Activity Sensing Dashboard Intugine's web portal for dispatch and compliance teams. Shows real-time activity events, alert log, delivery verification status, and driver/route analytics. No integration with your existing systems required.

Option B — TMS Integration Activity events write back to your TMS load records via API. Supports Trimble TMS, PTV Dispatcher, Ortec, Alpega, and custom TMS platforms via REST API.

Option C — ERP Integration Verified delivery events trigger goods receipt updates in SAP S/4HANA, Oracle ERP Cloud, or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain.

Option D — Webhook / Custom API Real-time event push to your internal systems, custom applications, or control tower platform.

Option E — Daily Report Automated delivery verification and alert summary report emailed to operations managers — zero integration required.

What Doesn't Change

Your telematics hardware stays on your trucks

Your telematics provider subscription continues unchanged

Your drivers don't install any new apps or devices

Your existing telematics dashboard and reports are unaffected

Your TMS or dispatch software continues to operate as before — with activity events added as a new data input

Pilot Approach for European Fleet Teams

For fleet technology managers evaluating the module before full deployment:

Week 1: Connect 10–20 vehicles from a single telematics provider. No changes to other vehicles or systems.

Week 2: Calibration on the pilot vehicle types. First activity events begin flowing.

Week 3: Pilot review — delivery verification accuracy, alert quality, false positive rate. Calibration adjustments if needed.

Week 4: Pilot sign-off and full fleet rollout decision.

Most European fleet operators running bulk commodity vehicles see clear ROI signals — in grey market detection alone — within the first 2 weeks of the pilot.
