ThingSys - TS-VB20
The TS-VB20 is a plug and play OBDII GPS tracker from ThingSys designed for fast installation and immediate vehicle telemetry. It connects directly to a vehicle OBDII socket to provide real time GPS positioning, hybrid positioning options, and direct access to ECU diagnostic data so users can monitor location, driving behavior, and basic vehicle health without complex setup.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the TS-VB20 enables fleet managers and private vehicle owners to bring OBD level telemetry into the Plaspy platform. When integrated, the unit streams location and ECU derived data to Plaspy for live monitoring, alerts, and reporting, making it suitable for fleet oversight, anti theft workflows, and basic vehicle diagnostics within Plaspy dashboards.
Key Highlights
- Plug and track OBDII form factor for tool free installation and rapid deployment
- Real time GPS AGPS and LBS positioning with typical accuracy around 10 meters
- Direct ECU access for diagnostics and basic telemetry to support vehicle health checks
- Driving event detection and fuel estimation features to aid safety and cost monitoring
- Geofence alerts, trip playback, and tamper alarms to improve security and operational visibility
- Battery and ignition state monitoring to support parked versus driving status and battery alerts
- Industrial grade GPRS communication for continuous telemetry transmission
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the TS-VB20 streams location and ECU derived telemetry to the platform so operators can view live status, receive alerts, and generate historical reports. Plaspy ingests positioning and diagnostic updates and presents them alongside geofence and trip data for unified operational oversight.
- Real time location and position updates for live tracking and map visualization
- ECU diagnostics and driving event detection for driver behavior monitoring and safety review
- Geofence creation and instant entry exit alerts plus trip playback for audit and compliance
- Tamper alerts and vehicle battery monitoring to support anti theft and maintenance workflows
- Ignition state detection to separate driving and parked periods for accurate trip segmentation
Typical Use Cases
- Fleet management and route oversight for delivery vehicles and service fleets
- Anti theft protection using geofences, tamper alerts, and battery monitoring
- Loan collateral and financed vehicle monitoring with continuous location and ECU telemetry
- Fuel monitoring and operational cost control using ECU based estimations and trip reports
- Private vehicle tracking for location sharing, trip history, and basic vehicle health insight
