About OD420JP

As Japan's first OBD-II type digital tachograph, the OD420JP is a next-generation digi-taco designed to be easily adoptable by SMEs, eliminating barriers such as "complex wiring," "high installation costs," and "infrequently used high-end features" of conventional digi-tacos. By simply plugging into the vehicle's OBD-II port, it achieves both ease of introduction and low cost, contributing to solving management challenges such as strengthening safe driving management, improving the accuracy of labor management, and optimizing business efficiency.

Furthermore, the revised Logistics Efficiency Act, which comes into effect in April 2026, requires "specified shippers" to report on their implementation status regarding the reduction of waiting and loading times and the improvement of loading efficiency. The OD420JP can acquire and visualize operational data at high frequency, supporting the entire process from understanding the site's reality to verifying the effectiveness of improvement measures and preparing the necessary supporting data for reports.
