Platform Science And Samsung Join To Drive Next Phase Of Tablet-Based Mobility Solutions For Fleets
Purpose-built Remote Platform Management (RPM) and Samsung's ruggedized tablets offer optimal mobility experience to Werner Enterprises
Platform Science, a leading enterprise IoT fleet management and Application Developer platform, today announced the next phase of its collaboration with Samsung Electronics America to bring next-generation mobility solutions to enterprise fleets. This partnership will support the growing number of fleet organizations, which are dramatically improving the in-cab experience by providing drivers with ruggedized enterprise-level mobile devices, instead of having them use their own smartphone or rely on in-vehicle computers.

By pairing Samsung’s mobile devices with Platform Science’s Remote Platform Management (“RPM”) products, fleets can transform their ruggedized devices into easily customized computing tools. Introduced in 2017–and designed specifically for the transportation industry–RPM enables enterprise fleets to connect and manage the core of the Connected Vehicle experience: devices, apps data and vehicles. In one seamless solution, RPM combines the functionality of mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM) and device-to-vehicle connectivity – all natively built into the Platform Science open telematics platform.

RPM allows fleets to dynamically deploy the right applications to individual drivers and devices at any time and ensures that they are paired with the right vehicles. Uniquely, RPM ensures that each application is hosted locally at the edge when low latency is critical or 24/7 access is required, or in the cloud, when real-time processing is not essential. Currently, RPM has produced over a billion distraction-free miles and counting for its current customers.
Combining Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Active line for over-the-road (OTR) use with Platform Science’s RPM positions fleets to support mobility needs, optimize relevant data presentation and manage workflows for drivers. It also ensures safety and compliance are not compromised. In addition, the combined offering provides fleet managers the tools to integrate and share data between apps used on individual driver devices, and tie them into back-end systems and vehicle sensors. This helps to control individual drivers’ overall mobile experience.
