OEM Customization
Custom OEM solutions
KCS TraceME is the "beating heart" of thousands of industrial IoT platforms globally. We specialize in providing distributors, resellers, and system integrators with a robust hardware foundation that they can call their own.
Whether you need a standalone tracking device or a deeply integrated M2M controller, our modular hardware platform is designed for rapid customization and full ownership.
If you are an OEM reseller and would like to resell the hardware devices under your label, this is possible. We can also help if you want to have adjustments made to the hardware for your specific market or vertical.
Possible Adaptions include
- OEM Hardware
- Feature and Firmware Changes
- Changing enclosures and connectors
Technical Comparison: OEM vs. Off-The-Shelf
Why global IoT solution integrators and fleet operators choose custom Dutch-manufactured OEM hardware over generic consumer trackers:
| Feature / Capability | KCS TraceME OEM Hardware | Generic Consumer / Off-the-Shelf |
|---|---|---|
| Firmware Customization | Full event-scripting, custom geofences, edge sensor thresholds, proprietary data formats. | Fixed firmware, limited preset intervals, no custom edge processing. |
| Cloud / Platform Lock-In | Zero lock-in. Send data directly to your AWS IoT, Azure, MQTT broker, or custom backend. | Forced subscription to manufacturer portal or recurring platform fees. |
| Battery Lifespan (Non-Powered) | 10 to 15+ years using ultra-low sleep modes (<2 µA) and primary lithium chemistry. | Typically 6 months to 2 years, requiring frequent battery replacements. |
| Tamper & Physical Security | Integrated micro-switch / light tamper sensors with instant alarm transmission. | Rarely available; easily detached or disabled without notification. |
| Vehicle CAN-Bus Integration | Dual CAN controllers (J1939, FMS, OBD-II), remote tachograph downloads. | Basic OBD-II dongle only, lack of commercial vehicle protocol support. |
| Manufacturing Quality | 100% Engineered and manufactured in the Netherlands under ISO 9001 / 14001. | Mass-market offshore assembly with variable component provenance. |
