How to minimize data traffic charges?
Android system by itself may generate substantial data traffic which amount depends on phone supplier. The system traffic could be expected in a range of 10-20Mb per month in average. Our recommendations:
- use phones with lightweight Andriod builds like Google Nexus breed carrying no extra branded software;
- avoid installation of additional apps, de-install all apps, that can be removed;
- disable automatic apps update in Google Play;
- whenever possible use WiFi onboard or in-port;
- in case of local GSM 3G connection purchase 'unlimited' data package;
Extract loggings from the Project Cargo Logger to Excel or inhouse BI system?
Loggings are extracted manually as CSV files from the cloud app for Excel re-use and adhoc analytics, or automatically fed via FTP to an external Business Intelligence platform structured reporting and corporate KPIs.
