TL;DR
On June 26, 2025, Zeliot and iTriangle demonstrated a live build of a real-time geofence alert system in under 40 minutes using real vehicle data. The system ran entirely inside a customer’s AWS cloud via Condense (BYOC), featuring live ingestion, Git-backed geofence logic, output to PostgreSQL and fleet dashboards, and built-in observability, no extra setup or glue code needed. This demo showcases how Condense enables fast, scalable, and production-ready vehicle intelligence pipelines with full data control.
On June 26, 2025, Zeliot and iTriangle delivered a live technical demonstration that turned a bold claim into a tangible system: building a complete, real-time vehicle control pipeline, inside the customer’s own cloud, in less than 40 minutes.
No mockups. No preloaded scripts. Just real data from a live iTriangle telematics device, a Git-backed geofence transform, Kafka topics running in BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) mode, and output to PostgreSQL and a connected FMS system.

What the Webinar Demonstrated
This wasn’t a theoretical pitch. The live demo walked through the complete lifecycle of a real-time geofence control system:
Live Ingestion from an iTriangle's TS-101 Plus 4G device installed in a demo vehicle
Periodic Parsing via prebuilt Condense transform to generate continuous telemetry
Geofence Logic deployed from Git using Condense’s custom logic framework
Alert Routing to PostgreSQL and Kafka-connected FMS tools
BYOC Kafka setup on AWS with zero-touch DevOps
End-to-End Observability through Condense unified UI (logs, metrics, traces)
All configured live by Zeliot’s team in front of a technical audience, without relying on any auxiliary cloud orchestration or manual infrastructure setup.
A Keynote That Set the Context
Before diving into the technical build, the session featured a keynote by Vadiraj Katti, Managing Director at iTriangle. His remarks contextualized the collaboration between iTriangle and Zeliot, emphasizing their joint focus on scalable telematics, clean data, and cost-optimized real-time mobility applications.
Vadiraj outlined iTriangle’s journey in building holistic telematics devices with a footprint of over 2.5 million installations across India, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. He highlighted their sector-specific product lines, from OBD and ADAS to EV compliance and OEM-centric edge solutions.
Key innovations discussed included:
Vehicle Firmware Upgrade Over-the-Air (Aquila Edge): Letting OEMs remotely flash and debug ECU modules.
Edge-Level Computation: Deriving critical operational parameters (speed, trip distance, coolant temp, ignition status, etc.) in-device to reduce cloud dependency.
Vertical Focus: Supporting mining, logistics, passenger transport, and fleet management, all through tailored data points and compliance support.
The keynote closed by reinforcing how the iTriangle <> Zeliot partnership delivers not just telemetry, but actionable value: cleaner data pipelines, enhanced observability, and faster go-to-market solutions for fleet intelligence.
Technical Breakdown of the Live Build
Here’s how the real-time control system was built live:
1. Kafka + BYOC Foundation
All infrastructure ran inside a customer-owned AWS account via Condense BYOC deployment. Kafka topics, Postgres database, and Git-integrated transforms were fully instantiated in the demo cloud. This ensured:
Data sovereignty
Zero vendor lock-in
Transparent cloud billing
Alignment with enterprise IAM policies
2. Real Device, Real Data
An iTriangle TS-101 device in a demo vehicle streamed TCP location data at high frequency. Condense protocol-aware prebuilt connector decoded this in real time, exposing structured payloads (latitude, longitude, speed, ignition, etc.) without manual parsing.
3. Prebuilt Periodic Transform
Condense low-code periodic transform created structured, heartbeat-style messages at consistent intervals. These acted as input for downstream applications, simplifying geofence state monitoring.
4. Git-Based Geofence Logic
A custom geofence application, written in Python and versioned in Git, was deployed live using Condense transform builder:
Input: GPS location from periodic output
Logic: Geo-boundary check using configured polygon radius
Output: Alert payload to PostgreSQL and Kafka for FMS visibility
This containerized transform was CI/CD-ready, rollback-safe, and updated without restarting Kafka pipelines.
5. PostgreSQL + FMS Integration
Two output sinks were configured:
A Kafka-to-Postgres connector with schema control and retention policies
A Kafka-forwarder that pushed alerts to a connected Fleet Management System dashboard
Together, they enabled historical storage for analysis and real-time visibility for operations.
What Makes This Important
This webinar didn’t just show a working demo; it modeled a fundamentally better way to build real-time systems:
Capability | Traditional Kafka Stack | Condense |
---|---|---|
Device Protocol Integration | Manual or 3rd-party | Built-in Connectors |
Real-Time Transform Logic | DIY Apps or Flink Jobs | GitOps + UI-native |
BYOC Kafka Deployment | Complex, Partially Supported | Fully Native |
Full Observability | Requires Prometheus, Grafana | Built-In |
Business Logic as Code | External CI/CD | Git-Connected, UI-Deployable |
Use-Case Awareness | General Purpose | Mobility-Tuned (e.g., Geofence, Panic, Immobilizer) |
Final Takeaway
By the end of this session, a fully operational geofence alerting system was running live, in a customer’s cloud, from raw GPS data to actionable FMS alerts.
There was no simulation. No code editing during the demo. No dependency on SREs. Just a clear example of what’s possible when:
A domain-specific Kafka platform (Condense)
Meets hardware-aware device providers (iTriangle)
And skips the glue code chaos that burdens most real-time stacks.
