In a recent interview with Samuel Oliveira, Partner-Owner at SGBras Tecnologia, we learned more about their history, major milestones, and the visual +voice onboard assistant project they developed. The device, which helps drivers save money and maintain their safety, advises on the maximum speed in dry and rainy weather, triggers audio, and shows the dangers of the road on the display.
- Please tell me the history of SG BRAS, its major milestones, in which Brazilian cities it operates, etc.
SGBras is a technology company that manufactures and represents equipment for vehicle fleet management. SGBras currently based in the city of Itaúna, MG, Brazil.
SGBras is nationally recognized for its products and representing the best brands in the market.
The devices offered by SGBras reduce costs, improve driver management and protect occupants' lives.
1. What does this visual +voice onboard assistant project consist of?
The on-board assistant consists of helping the driver with how to drive the vehicle in order to save money and maintain their safety.
The device, when the roads are mapped, advises on the maximum speed in dry and rainy weather, in addition to triggering audio and showing the dangers of the road on the display.
The first action when turning on the vehicle key is to identify with the RFID card reader. Then all actions on the vehicle are computed for that driver. At the end of the month, the managers show the qualities and where it needs to be improved to guarantee a long life for the vehicle, economy and the risk points in terms of its security detected.
2. When did the project start, and how was it created?
The project was created to serve companies in the mining segment where attention inside the mine is essential.
After several sales were made, other Clients from different segments also adopted the technology.
3. Where is it currently being developed?
The device was developed and is manufactured by SGBras.
4. Geographical conditions of the places where the project is developed
SGBras products are sold mainly in the Brazilian market. In 2023, the export of some products began.
5. What was it like before this project existed? Regarding vehicle monitoring
Drivers knew the speed limit only when an audible signal was activated. Now they constantly see the speed limit on the road through the on-board assistant's display.
The Onboard Assistant with Galileosky allows the inclusion of more fences, more alerts and more registration of drivers.
Configuration and programming became more agile due to the ease of programming Galileosky.
The capture of data from the CAN network provided savings to companies, as it guides drivers to correct the act when the vehicle is operated incorrectly.
When an accident occurs, the Customer can see the data provided in the software and resort to the black box to analyze the facts and take corrective actions and lessons learned.
6. Describe the main benefits that the project has brought
Safety, agility in operations, vehicle availability for operation, cost reduction and reliability.
7. How many vehicles use this system and which vehicles are they?
Hundreds of vehicles throughout Brazil.
8. What are the future plans regarding the project?
We are planning other solutions integrating SGBras products with Galileosky.
One of them is risk management seeking to reduce cargo theft in Brazil. A fact that has grown substantially in Brazil.
We are in the testing phase of the Galileosky + Wireless Jammer SW-403. Preliminary results were satisfactory.
Another project in view is the implementation of internet in a remote area with the help of Starlink and Galileosky HUB antennas.

9. What is the importance of the Galileosky devices in this project?
Flexibility in programming so that the SGBras products could interact was fundamental.
The fact that it also has several types of communication such as I/O, 232, 485, etc. has enabled the expansion of several projects.
The use of two SIM cards and a memory card decreases the latency period and lack of GPRS signal, saves positions even in remote areas to send data later, increases the number of driver cards, a large amount of audio messages and saves the programming logic.
10. What Galileosky devices are used and why?
LTE, HUB and Base Block Iridium.
11. The main benefits of working with Galileosky
Like informed in the item 9.
12. A short 7-line summary of yours explaining how the experience of working with Galileosky
Working with Galileosky and SGBras products enabled a range of previously unimaginable solutions.
Our Customers have found solutions in terms of economy, safety and vehicle availability.
Galileosky's expansion in Brazil is on schedule. A product of reliability and quality surprised several Customers in the demanding Brazilian market.
New solutions are in progress and the partnership between Galileosky and SGBras in Brazil was a wise and highly successful decision.
