An American company has introduced new technology that allows fleet managers to monitor temperatures in their vehicles remotely through existing GPS systems.

President of DataNab Adam Van Oort said: "The ability to monitor and log temperature data has been available for some time, but usually only locally at the vehicles. Our 1-Wire sensor solutions in conjunction with existing GPS hardware and telematics technology gives fleet managers and companies an inexpensive option to access this pertinent information in real time."

DataNab’s 1-wire temperature sensors are used globally and are especially popular in HVAC and refrigeration as well as solar, geothermal and other alternative energy systems to monitor and track system performance.
