INDUSTRIAL-GRADE VS CONSUMER DEVICES Why Professional Hardware Always Wins November 12, 2025 09:30 am In the world of connected mobility, public transport and fleet management, the difference between industrial-grade vs consumer devices determines much more than performance – it impacts safety, uptime, and the long-term sustainability of every operation. At first glance, tablets and smartphones designed for everyday use may seem attractive from a budget perspective. However, only true industrial-grade, automotive-compliant hardware can deliver the 24/7 reliability that modern fleets, transport authorities and operators actually require. Digitax devices – such as the ATOMO 10 MDT, ATOMO 10 ETS, ATOMO 7 Smart Ticket Validator and X-One Android family – are purpose-built for professional mobility ecosystems, not adapted consumer electronics. They are designed to integrate deeply with on-board systems, withstand harsh environments and evolve over time thanks to modular, future-proof architectures. 1. DESIGNED FOR AUTOMOTIVE RELIABILITY Industrial-grade devices for mobility must survive far more than office use. They are installed in buses, taxis, emergency vehicles, logistics and special vehicles fleets that operate all day, every day. Therefore, Digitax on-board systems are: industrial grade and automotive compliant, designed specifically for fleet management, public transport and special vehicles. engineered for harsh environments – with high protection levels, extended temperature ranges and resistance to vibration, dust and humidity, as specified in product datasheets. certified for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, ensuring stable behaviour even in noisy electrical environments typical of vehicles. By contrast, consumer devices are simply not designed for this context. Their housings, connectors and components are optimised for indoor, personal use – not for continuous exposure to temperature fluctuations, vibrations, power spikes and constant connectivity. When mission-critical data, ticketing and fleet supervision depend on the hardware, the difference is clear: industrial-grade technology means fewer failures, predictable maintenance and maximum service continuity.

For professional fleets, what really counts is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over the full lifecycle. Consumer devices often entail hidden costs, such as: Shorter lifecycle and frequent replacements; Limited availability of spare parts; No guaranteed long-term software support; Higher risk of failures and downtime. On the other hand, industrial-grade Digitax devices are designed with the opposite philosophy. They are built for long-term operation, supported by component availability and product roadmaps. Firmware and software updates are aligned with professional needs, including security patches and compatibility with new back-office systems. Moreover, modular upgrades – like the Android Platform On Module on ATOMO 10 MDT – delay hardware obsolescence and avoid disruptive “rip & replace” projects. As a result, fleet operators benefit from a lower cost per year of operation, reduced downtime and more predictable budgeting. For public transport agencies and system integrators, this translates directly into a higher return on investment. 3D design of Digitax ATOMO 7 onboard devices for smart mobility A Digitax engineer works on dual monitors on the exploded 3D model of ATOMO 7 smart Validator onboard device, reviewing electronic and mechanical components for advanced smart mobility solutions. 4. SAFETY, COMPLIANCE AND MISSION CONTINUITY In mobility and public transport, safety is non-negotiable. Devices must be stable not only under normal conditions, but also during power fluctuations, vehicle restarts or unexpected events. For this reason, Digitax hardware is designed for: automotive-grade power management, with advanced functions for safe shutdown, controlled restart and wake-up, reducing the risk of data loss or system corruption during voltage drops or engine cranking. EMC and E-Mark compliance, essential for use on certified vehicles and for integration into larger on-board systems. secure architectures with embedded taximeter CPUs and protected Android environments, so that certified metrological functions remain operational even if the main application layer restarts. These features are critical for taxi fleets, emergency services, public transport operators and all applications where continuity of service and integrity of certified functions are mandatory.

How to Improve Fleet Efficiency and Reduce Downtime with Digitax Connected Solutions October 9, 2025 10.15 am Fleet efficiency is the difference between vehicles that simply move and vehicles that generate consistent, predictable value. Whether you manage taxis, public transport or special vehicles, every hour a vehicle spends off the road hurts your revenue, your contracts and your passengers’ trust. With the right mix of on-board hardware and a connected management platform, you can turn your fleet into a coordinated, data-driven operation that stays on the road longer and works more efficiently. That is exactly where the Digitax ecosystem – taximeters, Mobile Data Terminals and Device Track – comes into play. 1. Why Fleet Efficiency and Uptime Matter For many organisations, the fleet is still treated as a fixed cost: fuel, drivers, maintenance, insurance. In reality, it is a strategic asset. When fleet efficiency is low, several problems appear: Vehicles are off the road because no one spotted an issue early. Dispatch sends the wrong vehicle or a distant one, wasting time and fuel. Controllers do not have a realtime picture of what is happening on the street. Reports arrive late or in spreadsheets that are difficult to combine. A connected fleet, where each vehicle shares its status, location and operating data in real time, allows you to: reduce unplanned downtime control operating costs and improve service quality in a measurable way Digitax ATOMO 10 MDT — advanced Android Mobile Data Terminal for fleet and transport applications The ATOMO 10 MDT brings advanced Android intelligence to fleet operations — connecting drivers, data, and dispatch in one powerful platform TABLE of CONTENTS Why Fleet Efficiency and Uptime Matter Why Fleet Efficiency and Uptime Matter A Quick Health Check for Your Fleet A Quick Health Check for Your Fleet Four Pillars of a High-Efficiency Fleet Four Pillars of a High-Efficiency Fleet How Digitax Device Track Brings It All Together How Digitax Device Track Brings It All Together FAQ FAQ 2. A Quick Health Check for Your Fleet Ask yourself a few simple questions: Can I see the location and status of every vehicle right now (For Hire, Hired, Locked, Alarm)? Do I receive timely alerts when something goes wrong on board? Do I have a single place where trip data, shifts and diagnostics are stored and easy to analyse? Can I communicate instantly with drivers from the control room? Do I have reports and history that help me plan better routes, shifts and maintenance? If the answer is “not really” to any of these, there is clear room for improvement – and connected Digitax solutions can help. > Discover our Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) designed for connected, intelligent fleet operations. 3. Four Pillars of a High-Efficiency Fleet Connected Vehicles and Drivers Modern fleets need vehicles that “talk” to the back office. With Digitax, devices like Taximeters, Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) and Smart Box send real-time information to the control centre: position, operating status, trip events and more. This enables you to: Match demand and supply by dispatching the closest available vehicle. Reduce empty mileage by planning smarter sequences of trips. Support drivers on the road with messages, instructions or warnings displayed directly on on-board devices. The result is less time wasted between jobs and a smoother experience for drivers and passengers. Data-Driven Maintenance and Reduced Downtime Unplanned stops are one of the biggest enemies of fleet efficiency. Instead of waiting for a breakdown, Digitax helps you work proactively: Trip and shift history makes it easy to analyse vehicle utilisation and identify units that are over or under used. Diagnostic information from connected devices gives early signals that something is not working as expected, so you can plan maintenance before it becomes critical. Remote commands – such as locking or unlocking a taximeter– give you control in case of suspicious situations, contract violations or emergencies. By combining workshop processes with Digitax data, you can schedule interventions at the right time, minimise vehicle downtime and maintain service continuity. Real-Time Control Room Visibility You cannot optimise what you cannot see. The Digitax Fleet Tracking & Management System (Device Track) provides a web-based control panel where you monitor your entire fleet in real time. From a single interface you can: View the map position of every vehicle, along with taximeter status. Access detailed trip information– fares, distances, amounts, tips – to measure performance and revenue. Analyse driver shifts and breaks to ensure fair workloads and regulatory compliance. Download reports in Excel or CSVfor deeper analysis and integration with other business tools. This turns raw data into actionable insight, so you can make decisions quickly and based on facts rather than assumptions. Security, Compliance and Scalability by Design Efficiency must be balanced with security and compliance, especially in regulated sectors like taxi and public transport. Digitax solutions are designed with these requirements in mind: Secure communication between devices and servers using encrypted connections and digital certificates, protecting operational data against tampering. Role-based access so each user only sees the vehicles and information they are authorised to manage – ideal for multi-company or franchise environments. Certified taximeters (MID, OIML R21, E-Mark) that ensure fiscal accuracy and legal compliance across markets. As your business grows, the same architecture scales from a small fleet to hundreds of vehicles without changing tools or core processes. 4. How Digitax Device Track Brings It All Together Bringing these pillars together, Digitax Device Track becomes the central hub of your operations: Real-time GPS monitoringof every vehicle, with status from the taximeter for instant awareness of what each car is doing. Two-way communication: send messages or instructions directly to on-board devices and receive confirmations, improving coordination without phone calls. Historical analysis: every trip, shift, lock/unlock event or message is stored in a secure database for later review, audits or optimisation. Integration options: documented database and the ability to send custom commands allow you to connect Digitax data with existing dispatch, ERP or business-intelligence systems. All of this is natively integrated with Digitax taximeters, MDTs and Smart Box,

How a Single-Screen On-Board Computer Unifies Dispatch, Maps and Messaging November 3, 2025 4:30 pm In many fleets, drivers still juggle multiple devices: one smartphone for navigation, another display for job dispatch, plus different tools for messages and notes. The result is a cluttered cockpit, constant app-switching, and higher distraction. A safer and more efficient approach is to use a single-screen vehicle-mounted computer that centralises all critical information in front of the driver. In the Digitax ecosystem, this role is covered by our on-board tablet MDTs and in-vehicle rugged tablets – such as ATOMO-10 MDT, X-One Android, X-One Plus, ForceOne Navigator and M1 MDT – integrated with modern dispatch and fleet management platforms. Together, they give drivers one unified interface for dispatch, maps and messaging on the same screen. 1 .Why a single screen makes the difference When fleets rely on multiple consumer devices in the cabin, they often face: Higher distraction – drivers look at different displays and apps just to manage one trip. Slower workflows – accepting a job, reading notes and starting navigation means jumping between apps. Longer training – every app behaves differently and needs its own onboarding. Limited durability – phones and consumer tablets are not designed for heat, vibration and 24/7 duty. Consequently, automotive-grade Digitax devices are designed precisely to bring dispatch, navigation and communication together on one display. They are mounted securely in the cockpit, are built for professional vehicles, and can stay connected to the control centre around the clock.

TABLE of CONTENTS How taxi meters work: Overview How taxi meters work: Overview What a Taxi Meter Does What a Taxi Meter Does How Taxi Meters Measure Distance How Taxi Meters Measure Distance How taxi meters Measure Waiting Time How taxi meters Measure Waiting Time Tariff Structures & Smart Tariff Management Tariff Structures & Smart Tariff Management Core Components of a Taxi Meter System Core Components of a Taxi Meter System Security & Anti- Tampering Features Security & Anti- Tampering Features Connectivity & Data Transmission Connectivity & Data Transmission Peripherals Working with Taxi Meters Peripherals Working with Taxi Meters Troubleshooting Guide Troubleshooting Guide FAQ FAQ 2. What a Taxi Meter Does​ A taxi meter is a certified instrument designed to calculate the fare of a taxi trip based on time, distance, and tariff rules set by local authorities. As a result, it ensures a consistent and standardised approach to fare calculation. Understanding how taxi meters work helps clarify why this device ensures a consistent and standardised approach to fare calculation. 2.1 Goals of a Taxi Meter Transparency for passengers Compliance with regulations Reliability in all conditions 2.2 Digitax Taximeter Range Overview In this framework, Digitax taximeters—from compact models like ET806 Plus to advanced all-in-one units such as F4 Slim and F4 Plus—operate following these core principles. However, the way these devices operate still reflects the same principles behind how taxi meters work in compliant systems worldwide. Discover Digitax full taximeter range 3. How taxi meters work: How Taxi Meters Measure Distance Taxi meters calculate movement using: 3.1 Vehicle Impulse Signals  Most Digitax taximeters use a digital signal from: Hall Effect sensors Electronic speedometer signals In practice, the number of impulses generated per km travelled is a constant parameter specific of the vehicle make and model. Examples: M1 STD supports mechanical Hall sensors and electronic odometer adapters up to 100,000 impulses/km. F1 Plus / F2 Plus / F3 Plus Series and F4 Plus and F4 Slim Series support multiple input configurations. Hybrid and electric vehicles may supply signals differently. Therefore, modern taximeters must support multiple vehicle architectures and allow proper calibration.  3.2 GPS-Based Distance Validation Addiotionally, advanced models, such as F4 Slim and F4 Plus, integrate GPS cross-checking, which detects inconsistencies that might indicate tampering or faulty sensors 4. How Taxi Meters Measure Waiting Time When vehicle speed drops below a threshold, the meter switches to time-based fare — an important aspect of how taxi meters work in real conditions. In these situations, the calculation relies on predefined timing parameters. 4.1 Waiting-Time Programming  Digitax devices allow programmable waiting-time steps: specifically, they support intervals from 0.1 seconds up to 6553.5 seconds with 0.1 s precision alternatively, intervals from 0.01 seconds to 655.35 seconds with 0.01 s precision.
