Reinventing telematics
Today, fleet telematics is vital across vehicles and machines.
However, end users face challenges: Expensive subscriptions. No data ownership. Security concerns. Vendor lock-in.
The CANedge2 provides a modern alternative:
- Upload data to your own local/dedicated/cloud server
- Simply add WiFi access point & server details to the config
- Log data to the SD and auto-upload when connected to WiFi
- Configure file split size/period to control upload frequency
- 100% secure: HTTPS, credential encryption and more
- Manage via over-the-air updates (firmware & configuration)
- Power e.g. sensor-to-CAN modules via the 2nd port
- Zero fees. Zero lock-in. Interoperable. Open source tools
Open source software/API
- naturally
The CANedge2 uses open formats (MDF4 data, JSON config, S3 server) - and all software/APIs are 100% free and open source.
The software toolbox includes:
- Editors: Easily modify your device config (online/offline)
- Converters: Convert data to Vector ASC, PEAK TRC, CSV, ...
- asammdf GUI: DBC convert, plot and export your data
- Python API: Automate your data processing & integrations
- Dashboards: Visualize data in custom browser dashboards
- CANcloud: Manage connected CANedge2 devices & data
- S3 drive: Mount your S3 server as a 'local drive'
The device includes an extractable 8-32 GB industrial SD card (Class 10). This ensures e.g. optimal endurance and rapid offline data transfer (W/R 50/80 MB/s)
The CANedge enables logging of raw CAN/LIN data incl. CAN FD, J1939, CANopen, OBD2, UDS, ISOBUS, NMEA2000 - across any CAN/LIN application.
The device is designed to be extremely compact (75 x 47 x 20 mm). Despite the robust aluminium enclosure, it weighs only 100G.
The 2nd port (CH2) provides a configurable 5V power out, letting you easily power e.g. CANmod sensor-to-CAN modules (temperature, analog/digital/pulse, ...)
The 2x high speed CAN channels enable time-synced recording of data from two CAN buses - ideal for e.g. many heavy duty vehicle applications
The CANedge2 comes with flanges to enable easy installation at scale. The 'mounting kit' includes screws and optional vibration dampeners.
The CANedge2 can upload data via any WiFi router, incl. a 3G/4G WiFi USB router that can e.g. be powered via the 2nd port (see also the CANedge3).

The CANedge2 is a powerful, standalone CAN logger for ad hoc analysis, diagnostics and development.
However, the device truly shines in e.g. fleet telematics and IoT machinery setups:
Underground mining & construction
Want to implement vehicle telematics - but your vehicles are underground?
Mining fleets often require automated monitoring, performance monitoring and diagnostics. However, vehicles often only re-surface briefly from mines - making it vital to have an offline 'buffer' if no underground WiFi network is available. Here, the CANedge2 logs data to the SD card and auto-uploads it when the vehicles re-surface and come within range of the WiFi. Learn more in our mining telematics intro.
Warehouse fleet management
Need to monitor a fleet of AGVs/forklifts in a warehouse?
For site managers/OEMs, the device can collect data from AGV/forklift fleets - e.g. for optimizing battery management. By connecting to the warheouse WiFi, the devices can continuously upload data to your own local/cloud server. This also enables practical predictive maintenace as showcased in this case study of 250+ AGVs.
Vehicle telematics
Need to monitor & optimize a vehicle fleet in near real-time?
For wireless 'on-road' upload of data, the device can connect via a 3G/4G hotspot - or you can use a CANedge3 with internal SIM card for 3G/4G transfer. Alternatively, the CANedge2 can upload data when the vehicle periodically returns to e.g. a terminal WiFi. Ideal for e.g. OBD2 logging, truck fleet management, predictive maintenance and more.
Tip: For 3G/4G use cases, we strongly recommend using the CANedge3.
Remote machine monitoring
Need to remotely monitor & troubleshoot industrial machinery?
Production machinery OEMs often need to deal with diagnostics, maintenance and field breakdowns. Local troubleshooting can be costly and slow. Here, the CANedge2 can be installed to diagnose issues remotely - and/or set up wireless predictive maintenance. Further, with configuration over-the-air, you can e.g. reset the machine via remote controlled transmit messages. Learn more in our CANopen data logger intro.
White label partnerships (OEMs/integrators)
Need a data logger in your product - or as a telematics platform?
The CANedge2 CAN bus logger is easy to integrate in existing systems, making it ideal as a hardware platform for CAN bus telematics solutions. Configuration files, server interfaces, log files etc. all utilize open file formats, with open source API tools available. Further, all software is 100% open source and customizable - for example the CANcloud telematics platform, or the customizable Grafana dashboards.
