What's new in Release 26.9 (May 2026) – Powerfleet Knowledge

On-Road IoT

Advanced device commands are now supported for Cellocator CR100 and CANiQ-M devices on Unity On-Road IoT, enabling fleet managers to remotely control and force configuration updates with these devices. See Send advanced commands to a mobile device.
Odometer and Engine Hours are now tracked using an accumulation method for more accurate, continuous reporting on Orbcomm ST6100 and ST9100 devices.
Send text message and Poll unit commands can now be sent to the Orbcomm ST6100 (SAT only) and Orbcomm ST9100 (GSM and SAT) mobile devices.

VisionAI and VisionAI 360

Five new MiX Vision events have been added to the event library:
1. MiX Vision: Driver fatigue (KSS) - Abnormal blinking
2. MiX Vision: Driver fatigue (KSS) - Abnormal head nodding
3. MiX Vision: Driver fatigue (KSS) - Heavy yawn
4. MiX Vision: Driver fatigue (KSS) - Light yawn
5. MiX Vision: Driver distraction (KSS) - Eating
Facial Recognition settings configured in Unity On-Road IoT now automatically sync to VisionAI 360, enabling or disabling face comparison per organization without any additional configuration needed in VisionAI 360. See Enable driver facial recognition.
Driver photos added or updated in Unity On-Road IoT now automatically sync to VisionAI 360 in real time. Read more in Add driver image.

EasyELD - mobile app

Large data backlogs on the MiX 4000 mobile device may cause a long initial sync with the EasyELD mobile app when the driver connects. If interrupted, synchronization continues where it left off instead of starting over. This means faster, more efficient data transfers once that initial backlog has been cleared.

Knowledge base updates

We have updated the Powerfleet knowledge base to allow customers to create accounts and sign in. Staff members can continue to sign in using Company SSO as before. Customers can now create an account on the knowledge base to follow articles and sections.

Bulb When you follow content, you will receive email notifications whenever an article is updated or new content is added to a section.

Email and password — For customers who have created an account.
Continue with SSO — For Powerfleet staff members signing in with their company credentials.

All public help articles remain freely available without signing in. You do not need an account to read help articles. Creating an account is optional and only needed if you want to follow content.
