Devices

In Wialon Platform, a device is a digital representation of a physical GPS tracker, sensor, or any other telematics hardware installed on an asset (such as a vehicle, trailer, or container). It is the core entity in the system that receives, processes, and stores all the data transmitted by the hardware.

The Devices page in Wialon Platform Studio is the central hub for connecting, configuring, and managing all your telematics hardware. Properly configured devices are the foundation of your fleet management solution, enabling you to collect, interpret, and visualize crucial data for your customers in Wialon Platform FleetSpace.
