Korean logistics technology company GLEC is developing the “AI Tachograph (ATG) AX Solution”, an integrated platform that combines driver condition monitoring with predictive vehicle maintenance. This marks a new approach to managing driver safety and fleet maintenance, areas that have traditionally been handled separately.

The logistics industry is grappling with a dual challenge: a global shortage of truck drivers and rising maintenance costs caused by unexpected vehicle breakdowns. Industry data shows both issues are increasingly weighing on operators worldwide.
One of the core features of the GLEC AI Tachograph AX platform is driver fatigue prediction. By analyzing driving patterns and rest periods, the system evaluates fatigue levels and sends alerts when risk thresholds are reached—both to the driver in real time and to fleet managers via the administrative dashboard.
Another key capability under development is predictive vehicle maintenance. Leveraging accumulated diagnostic data, the system can anticipate component failures before they occur, enabling proactive repairs and reducing costly downtime.
Still, the technology faces challenges. Some industry voices have raised concerns about excessive monitoring and its implications for driver privacy. GLEC has acknowledged these concerns, emphasizing that all data collected is encrypted and safeguarded with robust security measures.
The economic benefits, however, are promising. Simulation results suggest that GLEC’s platform could significantly reduce operating costs by improving efficiency. Full-scale validation is expected to begin following the official launch at CES 2026.
Industry experts anticipate that integrated vehicle management platforms will become a defining trend in logistics. Systems that can manage driver safety, vehicle efficiency, and internationally standardized carbon emissions all in one platform are expected to see rising demand.
At the heart of the ATG AX solution is the GLEC API Calculation Engine, which processes and analyzes diverse data streams in real time. The system updates once per second, simultaneously performing accurate ISO 14083-compliant carbon emissions calculations.
GLEC also plans to offer the ATG AX solution as a SaaS (Software as a Service) product. This subscription model will allow even small and mid-sized logistics companies to adopt enterprise-level fleet management capabilities without heavy upfront investment.
Looking ahead, GLEC aims to further enhance the system with advanced AI features. Planned upgrades include personalized safety guidance for each driver, route optimization that factors in weather and traffic conditions, and transport condition management tailored to cargo types. Through these advancements, GLEC seeks to position the ATG AX not merely as a monitoring tool, but as a core operational partner for logistics companies worldwide.
GLEC will officially unveil the AI Tachograph AX Solution at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where the industry will see firsthand how this Korean innovation could reshape global logistics operations.
