Castel - IDD-213N
The Castel IDD-213N is an intelligent on board diagnostic and all in one device built for both passenger and commercial vehicles. Its plug and play design reads diagnostic information from the vehicle ECU and captures location data, forwarding that information to a backend server for remote real time diagnostics and tracking. The unit is positioned for fleet management and vehicle monitoring scenarios where consolidated diagnostic and location visibility is required.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the IDD-213N can supply the platform with vehicle health and position data for monitoring, reporting, and alerting. Its support for common vehicle diagnostic standards and cellular connectivity makes it suitable for integration into Plaspy workflows that need combined operational oversight and remote diagnostic insight.
