The company announced that it had obtained a patent for the vehicle information management system for Will-Fleet, Japan’s first OBD-type digital tachograph. The technology centrally manages multiple mileage data points in the cloud and uses them to monitor vehicle operations and optimize maintenance planning.
Will Smart announced that it had obtained a patent for a vehicle information management system. The patent number is No. 7942637, and the registration date is 20 October 2026. Previously, reconciling mileage data that differed by vehicle was an issue, but the technology enables multiple data points to be centrally managed in the cloud using a reference distance.
The technology is scheduled to be used in Will-Fleet, Japan’s first OBD-type digital tachograph. Applications include monitoring vehicle operations, preparing maintenance plans based on mileage, managing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and enhancing preventive maintenance. Functions for automatically preparing daily reports, automatically storing legally required records and visualizing driving performance data are expected to be provided as standard at no additional cost from early December 2026.
Will Smart aims to strengthen centralized management of total mileage information as a foundation for data utilization and to use operating data in daily management and logistics improvements. The company also outlined a policy of promoting efficiency across logistics through integration with other systems via standard APIs.
