What Technoton does

Technoton is a privately held Czech Republic-based designer and manufacturer founded in 2000 that specializes in fuel monitoring and telematics hardware for heavy-duty vehicles, off-road machinery, locomotives, sea and river vessels, diesel generators, and stationary fuel storage. Its core products are proprietary fuel level sensors (DUT-E series), fuel flow meters (DFM series), axle load sensors, contactless CAN bus readers (Crocodile), telematics gateways (CANUp), and the UNUM IIoT and UNUM Genset software platforms, built on proprietary S6 and S7 CAN bus technologies that read and convert J1939/J1708 vehicle data and support monitoring of 10,800+ parameters in real time using edge/fog computing.

The company sells turnkey hardware kits and platforms primarily through direct enterprise sales to OEMs and large fleet operators (including Scania, Cummins, Otokar, Thermo King, Aggreko, Carrier, ZF, Kirloskar, and TAM), complemented by a global dealer program, ODM and customization services, and compatibility partnerships with 25+ telematics providers (Teltonika, Geotab, Ruptela, Navtelecom, ComAp, Deep Sea Electronics, Digital Matter, Falcom, Queclink, Orbcomm, and others). Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales (sensors, kits, gateways), recurring UNUM platform subscriptions, and professional services including technical training, warranty, and OEM integration for complex-shape fuel tanks.

Technoton operates from Prague, Czech Republic, employs 101-250 people, and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management system. The company has been continuously operating and self-funding for more than 25 years without disclosed institutional investment, M&A activity, or revenue figures. Its value proposition centers on precise remote fuel and parameter monitoring, multi-vendor interoperability, and 25+ years of domain specialization in fuel monitoring for heavy machinery and mobile assets across transportation, power generation, mining, agriculture, marine, and municipal fleet end markets.

Core offering

Technoton designs, manufactures, and supplies hardware sensors (DUT-E fuel level sensors, DFM fuel flow meters, axle load sensors, contactless CAN bus readers) and telematics gateways (CANUp), complemented by the UNUM IIoT Platform and UNUM Genset software for remote monitoring of fuel consumption, engine operation, fuel volume/temperature, attached equipment operation, and axle load on heavy vehicles, locomotives, vessels, diesel generators, and industrial machinery. The company also offers technical training, warranty/repair, and ODM customization services.

Product overview

Technoton offers a comprehensive portfolio of telematics and fuel monitoring hardware solutions for heavy machinery and vehicles. The product line centers on a sensor-plus-platform architecture: proprietary fuel level sensors (DUT-E series), fuel flow meters (DFM series), axle load sensors, and CAN bus tools (Crocodile contactless readers, MasterCAN converters) collect operational data from vehicles and equipment. This sensor data is aggregated through telematics gateways (CANUp) and integrated with third-party GPS tracking devices and genset controllers. The software layer comprises the UNUM IIoT Platform for general industrial monitoring and UNUM Genset for diesel generator applications. Core technologies include S6 and S7 CAN bus data reading capabilities supporting over 10800 vehicle parameters. Solutions serve diverse industries including road/off-road trucks, locomotives, marine vessels, diesel generators, construction, mining, and agricultural machinery.
