FAQ

OBD Hardware Integration — Frequently Asked Questions

iFactory integrates with any OBD-II dongle, telematics gateway, or diagnostic device that outputs standard OBD-II PID data — including devices from Geotab, CalAmp, Danlaw, Zubie, Mojio, Xirgo Technologies, Suntech, and generic ELM327-based Bluetooth adapters. We support Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular (4G/5G), and USB connectivity. For heavy-duty vehicles over 14,000 lbs, SAE J1939 and legacy J1708/J1587 protocols are also fully supported through compatible 9-pin diagnostic port adapters.

iFactory reads 200+ standard OBD-II PIDs (Parameter IDs) defined by SAE J1979, including engine RPM, vehicle speed, coolant temperature, fuel level, throttle position, intake manifold pressure, mass air flow, oxygen sensor voltage, engine load, fuel consumption rate, fuel trim (short and long term), battery voltage, and catalyst temperature. We decode all Diagnostic Trouble Codes across P (powertrain), B (body), C (chassis), and U (network) categories — plus freeze frame data captured at the moment of each fault. Manufacturer-specific extended PIDs are supported where available.

Physical OBD-II dongle installation takes under 5 minutes per vehicle — plug into the standard 16-pin OBD-II port located under the dashboard and pair with iFactory via Bluetooth or cellular. Fleet-wide software configuration including DTC alert rules, maintenance triggers, fuel thresholds, and driver scorecard parameters completes in 1–2 days. Full integration with your existing fleet management workflows, dispatch systems, and ERP deploys in 1–2 weeks. Most fleets are streaming live OBD data within 24 hours of project start.

Yes. iFactory supports OBD-II for all light-duty vehicles under 8,500 lbs (mandatory since 1996 in the US), medium-duty vehicles between 8,500–14,000 lbs (mandatory since 2005), and heavy-duty vehicles over 14,000 lbs (mandatory since 2010). For Class 4–8 trucks, buses, and heavy construction equipment, we support SAE J1939 CAN bus protocol via the standard 9-pin diagnostic connector, providing access to engine data, transmission parameters, ABS diagnostics, body controller information, and more. Legacy heavy-duty equipment using J1708/J1587 serial protocols is also supported.

Yes. iFactory's AI engine continuously analyzes OBD parameter trends — coolant temperature curves, fuel trim drift, oxygen sensor degradation, misfire count patterns, battery voltage decline, and catalytic converter efficiency — to predict component failures 2–4 weeks before they cause a breakdown. When a prediction triggers, iFactory automatically creates a preventive work order with fault description, recommended parts, and optimal scheduling to minimize fleet downtime. Prediction accuracy improves over time as the AI learns each vehicle's specific baseline behavior patterns.

OBD-II provides real-time fuel consumption data via MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor calculations and fuel rate PIDs. iFactory correlates this data with GPS location, driver behavior metrics (harsh acceleration, excessive idling, speeding above efficiency thresholds), route efficiency, vehicle health conditions, and tire pressure to identify exactly where fuel is wasted. Driver-specific scorecards gamify fuel efficiency. Fleets typically see 12–18% fuel savings within the first 90 days by acting on OBD-derived fuel intelligence and automated driver coaching alerts.

OBD-II is the diagnostic standard mandated for light and medium-duty vehicles (under 14,000 lbs) using a standardized 16-pin connector, primarily focused on emissions diagnostics with approximately 200 standardized PIDs defined by SAE J1979. J1939 is the heavy-duty vehicle standard (over 14,000 lbs) using a 9-pin round diagnostic connector, providing significantly broader vehicle data including engine, transmission, ABS, instrument cluster, and body controller parameters with thousands of Suspect Parameter Numbers (SPNs). iFactory supports both protocols natively, providing unified dashboard coverage for mixed fleets operating both light-duty vans and heavy-duty trucks.

iFactory encrypts all OBD data in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 encryption. Role-based access controls ensure only authorized fleet managers and technicians can view vehicle diagnostics, driver behavior data, and location information. Data is stored in SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure with full audit logging. For fleets with data residency requirements or union-negotiated privacy agreements, on-premise and private cloud deployment options are available. All data collection complies with applicable federal and state privacy regulations.
