As modern vehicles grow increasingly complex, the need for precise, real-time analysis of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) is rising. Addressing this challenge head-on, ODOSOLUTIONS AB (ODOS), a leader in cloud-connected data solutions, is highlighting Petalog – a compact, rugged and high-performance data logger engineered for advanced ECU analytics in harsh field conditions.
Developed for engineers, developers, and field testers, the Petalog combines powerful edge computing with robust environmental resilience. It is built to handle high data loads while enabling remote diagnostics, over-the-air updates and global access via a built-in 4G modem.
“We’re seeing a clear shift in how data is being used in vehicle development,” says Joachim Englund, CTO at ODOS. “Field teams no longer have the time or resources to manually retrieve and process data on site. The Petalog lets you stay connected to what’s happening in real time, wherever you are, and make smarter decisions, faster.”
Weighing approximately 500g, the Petalog is housed in a rugged IP67-rated enclosure made from ABS and aluminium and is designed to withstand vibration, moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures – making it ideal for military, maritime, and extreme industrial machine test conditions.
Inside, the unit features dual CAN-FD ports, an Intel Quad-Core 2.0 GHz processor, and a global 4G Cat4 modem, providing reliable edge computing power and high-speed data transmission for even the most data-intensive applications.
What sets the Petalog apart is its tight integration with the ODOS Cloud Platform – a secure, GDPR-compliant ecosystem for real-time streaming, visualisation, and analytics. The award-winning platform supports everything from a configurable browser based dashboard to AI-driven insights, making it an essential tool for teams working with complex, high-volume ECU data.
This vertical integration gives users the flexibility to manage and interpret large datasets without the need for additional infrastructure – streamlining R&D workflows and accelerating iteration cycles.
The Petalog is already being adopted by early customers in automotive R&D, defence testing, and advanced field evaluation scenarios and is available for immediate deployment.
