Your benefits
Benefit from our well-established system in a range of areas.
Complete end-to-end system
The Flea 4 is embedded in an integrated end-to-end system consisting of the end device in the vehicle and the cloud service in the backend.
Everything via remote
The system can be used and managed completely remotely. Configurations, operations, results, new software, new drivers, and security updates – 100% possible from your desk and remotely.
Over the air
New compact services and algorithms can be developed and distributed remotely. This keeps the overall system up-to-date and attractive over time.

Connectivity
Our system is compatible with common cloud computing platforms:
- Pantaris (ETAS GmbH)
- Bosch IoT insights
- Microsoft Azure
- Customer Backend
Versatile & flexible
Whether in the vehicle, in the lab, or on the test track/road, logging and diagnostics are highly configurable.
Expandable
Extensions or even complete developments are possible at the customer's request. Our hardware allows retrofitting by means of extension boards (FlexRay, PLC) allowing a subsequent adaptation to hardware requirements.

Easy to manage
Everything easily managed via device management, monitoring, reporting and over-the-air update.
Form factor & installation
The Flea 4 stands out with its compact size - it offers the greatest functionality in the most compact of spaces. This makes it easy to install in the vehicle, practically plug & play.
Cost efficiency
The unit costs and thus the investments are low and payable via a term contract in actual use. This lowers your barrier to entry and costs only as long as you actually benefit.

Use Cases
Sporadic error identification
The occurrence of sporadic errors can be a major problem, especially when new models are introduced. A smart configuration can detect these and record them together with the correlating context.
Endurance run
Testing in the vehicle endurance run. Development and testing to meet the highest demands. Obtaining vehicle data remotely from anywhere in the world.
Quality assurance
Testing and ensuring the functionality is as specified, from the individual component to the overall system. Acquiring vehicle data intelligently and making it available enables continuous and sustainable assurance of its level of maturity.
Live data
Live data is indispensable in the transformation of the automobile into a digital entity. Through free configuration, you decide which vehicle data is streamed. In combination with streaming from the cloud, computationally intensive and latency-sensitive functions can be outsourced.
Customer behavior
Data on customer usage, satisfaction & behavior can be collected. Information on the use of features can be collected and its subsequent evaluation can lead to insights for further and new developments.
PLC monitoring*
Logging of charging communication to test interoperability between EV vehicle and charging point.
