Cloud solutions are transforming automotive data acquisition from passive file transfer to intelligent, connected ecosystems. Early approaches relied on simple SFTP servers where loggers uploaded files and periodically checked for new configurations – resulting in limited control and complex workspace access management. Modern cloud architectures reverse this paradigm: the cloud becomes the master. Loggers can now receive live commands, new configurations and OTA updates while continuously streaming data. This enables remote fleet management, health monitoring and advanced analytics including AI and big data processing. Acting as a central data hub, the cloud ensures global data availability and seamless collaboration across distributed teams.

• Evolution from file-based SFTP logging to modern cloud-controlled data acquisition
• How cloud platforms remotely manage logger fleets without on-site visits
• Sending live commands, configurations and OTA updates to vehicle loggers
• Using the cloud as a central hub for global data access and collaboration
• Turning vehicle data into insights using cloud processing, AI and big data
