At the Meeting Point@JTC LaunchPad, Sem Chong, an veteran entrepreneur, talked about his latest venture – Carmen Automotive.
About Carmen Automotive
Carmen Automotive is a Singapore tech start-up providing automated mobile solutions to consumers across the Asia Pacific. Carmen designs, manufactures and promotes its own proprietary products, combining innovative technology and software design that aims to deliver best solutions for car users.
Features and how it works
The Carmen system consists of three parts; a Bluetooth dongle, the app, as well as the web dashboard that provides users with detailed information of their car’s performance over time. The connected car system, which connects through your car’s On Board Diagnostics (OBD) port, pulls the data from your car, before pushing up the information through a user’s mobile data to their servers, and then storing and redistributing the updated data to the app and web dashboard.
By tracking the historical data, Carmen is able to tell car owners how their cars are meant to perform, growing more intelligent over time.
The Carmen system tracks the following critical information from your car to help maintain peace of mind on the road.
- Battery Life
- Coolant Temperature
- Fault Codes
- Fuel Efficiency
- Mileage
- Tyre Pressure (In the near future)
