Modern engineering teams have access to more data than ever before. CAN data from connected systems offers powerful insight into real-world performance - but unlocking that value isn’t always straightforward.

The challenge with CAN bus data

CAN data (e.g. CAN FD, J1939, OBD2) provide valuable signals - but also significant complexity. Engineers often face:

  • Large data volumes with thousands of signals
  • Raw encoded data that must be decoded
  • Unevenly sampled signals that are hard to align
  • Data quality issues, including missing values and duplicates

As a result, engineers can spend more time preparing data than analysing it.

From raw data to analysis-ready signals

With Advantage Insights 2026 R3, this process is significantly simplified.

Fast CAN data decoding 

Advantage Insights decodes CAN FD, J1939, and OBD2 data using DBC files - so you can immediately work with signals in engineering units and focus only on the channels that matter.

Handling real-world data automatically

Real-world data is rarely clean. Advantage Insights helps by:

  • Managing missing values and outliers
  • Standardising signals with aliases
  • Supporting unevenly sampled data without preprocessing

This reduces manual effort and ensures data is consistent and ready for analysis.

Then, once in engineering units, the decoded CAN data can be visualized and processed using all the available analysis nodes: from stats, histograms and calculators to correlation and fatigue damage. This whole process i.e. from decoding to analyzing and visualizing the results is extremely fast, enabling you to concentrate more on data-driven decision making. 

Clearer visualisation and insight

New capabilities in 2026 R3 make it easier to explore and interpret data, including:

  • Pie charts for quick distribution insights
  • Spectrum visualisations for frequency analysis

These tools help turn complex datasets into clear, actionable insights.

Deeper analysis and greater confidence

Level Crossing analysis

A new Level Crossing node provides deeper visibility into signal behaviour - supporting fatigue and durability workflows.

Scaling across connected systems

Advantage Insights integrates with the Aqira platform, enabling scalable analysis across fleets of connected assets - and deeper understanding of real-world usage across regions and conditions.

From data to confident decisions

CAN data is only valuable if it can be trusted and understood.

With Advantage Insights 2026 R3, engineers can:

  • Reduce time spent preparing data
  • Analyse complex datasets more efficiently
  • Gain clearer, more reliable insights
  • Make faster, more confident decisions
