The device can continuously monitor route deviations, over speeding, fuel consumption, and journey time. Falcon-i has been designed, developed, and manufactured in AMI’s operations in Chennai, headed by Sridharan Mani. The Indian subsidiary is part of AMI that has nine offices around the world. The device uses GPRS technology to transfer data from the vehicle to the owner through messages or the dedicated website. The basic model will cost Rs. 10,000 per unit and the prices will vary depending on additional features. AMI is mainly targeting segments like goods carriers, mining industry, BPOs, and schools.
