This functionality allows the STX IoT to act as an IoT Gateway which is used to process and forward the IoT data to the server- for countless applications including Cold Chain, Asset Tracking, Inventory Management,  School Transportation & Campus Management.

ELD-Ready With USB/BLE Support

Sends via BLE or Dual USB/BLE the ECM Data to any mobile device for ELD Compliance providing the functionality and reliability of a one-piece fixed mount integrated on-board computer for a fraction of the price.

Small Size, Ruggedized Device

With a small footprint and rugged design, the STX is tested for vibration, shock, moisture, and extreme temperatures, and is built for reliable performance under the rigors of industrial fleet operations ranging from light vehicles to heavy duty trucks, industrial machinery and more.

Product Features

Modular, easy to integrate and inexpensive to customize to your needs

Dashcam Support

Connect Wireless Links Dashcam for fleet safety and monitoring of extreme driving behavior such as sudden acceleration, sudden lane crossing, sharp turns and sudden braking

Engine Diagnostics

Auto detection of the specific JBus protocol. Sends CANbus OBDII, K-Line, J1939, and J1708 data such as: fuel consumption, oil pressure, distance travelled, RPM, and much more to the control center in real time with every GPS data, or at a predetermined interval (configurable OTA).

Temperature Monitoring

Monitor up to 6 different compartments with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. Easily configure the Piccolo STX to report the temperature readings periodically, when the temperature changes more than X degrees and configure alarm limits for highs/lows.

IO’s

2 digital inputs, 1 digital output and 1 analog input for event logs such as engine on/off, vibration alarm, door open/close, are sent with the time stamp of the event.

IoT Gateway

Various IoT BLE tags have been integrated with the STX IoT. This functionality allows the STX IoT to act as an IoT Gateway which is used to process and forward the IoT data to the server- for an all around connected fleet.

Driver ID

Authorize drivers to start vehicle with driver identification via dallas keys or passive RFID keys.

Backup Battery

Integrated rechargeable back-up battery. Battery level transmitted with every GPS data.

Auto Event Send

Stores and forwards up to 5000 events and sends them automatically when unit is back in cellular coverage.

Plug and Play API

Highly compressed OTA, UDP communication packaged with MidLink Middleware and “Plug & Play” API or DLL for quick integration into any third party software
