AMPLIFIED IT LLC Ushers in Next-Gen Vehicle Data Solutions with Corvette Convertible Integration
Vernon Hills, IL – November 8, 2023 – AMPLIFIED IT LLC, a leading provider of cutting-edge data acquisition and analytics solutions, today announced a significant leap forward in its vehicle data capabilities. The company showcased its technology integrated with a classic Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, demonstrating real-time data streaming and sophisticated analytical insights directly from the vehicle’s performance metrics. AMPLIFIED IT LLC, based in Vernon Hills, Illinois (200 N Milwaukee Ave, 60061-1577, USA, 507-419-7453), specializes in turning complex data streams into actionable intelligence for a variety of industries. While traditionally focused on industrial applications, the team recognized the growing demand for advanced vehicle data analysis, spanning everything from performance tuning and track day optimization to preventative maintenance and driver safety. “We've always been about taking a ton of data and making it useful,” explains a representative from AMPLIFIED IT. “It’s easy to collect data. The hard part is figuring out what it means. That’s where we excel.” This recent demonstration centers around a meticulously maintained Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. While the car itself is a head-turner, it's what's happening under the hood – and being captured from it – that’s the real story. AMPLIFIED IT’s system isn’t about adding a fancy screen in the dash. It's a comprehensive system that pulls data from the Corvette's Engine Control Unit (ECU) – things like engine RPM, manifold absolute pressure (MAP), throttle position, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and even GPS location. “We're not just looking at basic stuff. We’re digging deep. The Corvette is a fantastic platform because it’s got a lot of performance data available, but our system is scalable. It works with a wide range of vehicles, from classic cars to modern hybrids and EVs.” Beyond the Gauges: What Does AMPLIFIED IT’s System Do? The system isn’t just about displaying numbers. AMPLIFIED IT focuses on analyzing that data. Here's a breakdown of key capabilities, demonstrated using the Corvette: Real-time Performance Monitoring: During a demonstration track run, the system streamed data live, showing instant feedback on engine performance. Drivers and mechanics could see exactly how the car was behaving, identifying potential issues as they happened. “Imagine knowing you're starting to lose oil pressure before something catastrophic happens,” the representative stated. Data Logging & Playback: The system records everything. Every sensor reading, every GPS coordinate, every second of the drive. This data can be played back for detailed analysis. “We can essentially ‘rewind’ the drive and see exactly what was happening at any given moment,” they explained. This is invaluable for tuning the engine, optimizing shifting points, and understanding overall vehicle behavior. Customizable Dashboards & Alerts: Users can create custom dashboards tailored to their specific needs. Want to see only coolant temperature and oil pressure? No problem. Want to receive an alert if the engine temperature exceeds a certain threshold? The system can handle it. “It’s about getting the right information, in the right format, at the right time,” says a company engineer. Predictive Maintenance: By analyzing historical data, the system can predict potential maintenance needs. “We can look at things like oil pressure trends and identify when an oil change is likely needed, before the car actually needs it.” This reduces downtime and prevents costly repairs. Remote Diagnostics: The system can transmit data remotely, allowing mechanics to diagnose issues without even being present at the vehicle. "This is a huge benefit for race teams or anyone who travels frequently with their car." The Corvette as a Testbed Why a Corvette Convertible? AMPLIFIED IT saw the car as an ideal platform to demonstrate their technology for several reasons: Performance Focus: The Corvette is known for its performance capabilities, making it a good fit for a system focused on data analysis. Enthusiast Community: The Corvette has a large and passionate enthusiast community, which is likely to be interested in this type of technology. Accessibility of Data: Modern Corvettes have a lot of readily accessible data through the OBD-II port. "We could have used any car," admits the representative, "but the Corvette just felt right. It's iconic, it's fun, and it represents the kind of performance we're aiming for." Beyond the Track: Applications for the Future While the initial demonstration focused on performance tuning and track day optimization, AMPLIFIED IT sees numerous other applications for their technology: Insurance: Usage-based insurance programs could utilize the data to reward safe driving habits. Fleet Management: Companies could use the data to track vehicle performance, optimize maintenance schedules, and reduce fuel consumption. Autonomous Vehicles: The data could be used to improve the performance and safety of self-driving cars. Classic Car Restoration: Monitoring and analyzing data from classic cars can aid in restoration and ensure proper operation. AMPLIFIED IT LLC: Turning Data Into Drive. AMPLIFIED IT LLC is committed to pushing the boundaries of vehicle data analysis. They aren't just collecting information; they're turning it into actionable insights that can improve performance, safety, and reliability.
