DigitFMS Launches Digit PS, an Autonomous Vehicle Defence System

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Midrand, South Africa — January 2026

DigitFMS, a leading African fleet management and vehicle security solutions provider, has officially launched Digit PS, an industry-first Autonomous Vehicle Defence System designed to counter modern vehicle theft, hijacking, tampering, and device stripping — without requiring any human action.

Unlike traditional vehicle tracking and recovery solutions that rely on driver intervention and reaction time, Digit PS operates autonomously. The system is engineered to detect, decide, and respond to security threats in real time, removing human dependency from the vehicle protection equation.

“Vehicle crime has evolved. Criminals no longer evade tracking systems — they actively hunt and neutralise them,” said a spokesperson for DigitFMS. “Digit PS represents a fundamental shift in how vehicles are protected. This is not tracking. This is autonomous defence.”

A Response to a Changing Threat Landscape

Across South Africa and the African continent, insurers and fleet operators face increasing losses due to highly organised and technologically advanced vehicle crime syndicates. The traditional response — installing multiple tracking and recovery devices — has increased costs while reducing overall effectiveness.

Digit PS addresses this challenge by introducing autonomous logic that identifies theft and tampering scenarios and responds instantly, without relying on panic buttons, driver input, or delayed reaction times.

How Digit PS Works

Digit PS autonomously counters multiple high-risk scenarios, including hijacking, theft while parked, tampering, signal jamming, and device stripping. Once a threat is detected, the system initiates an automated defensive response to protect the vehicle when seconds matter most.

Beyond Security: Intelligence-Driven Protection

In addition to its defence capabilities, Digit PS functions as a high-level intelligence platform, offering driver behaviour analysis, fuel monitoring, zone alerts, and crash detection. This makes Digit PS a strategic solution for fleet operators, insurers, and high-risk vehicle owners seeking both protection and operational insight.

Controlled Installation & Insurance-Grade Standards

Digit PS is installed exclusively by trained DigitFMS technicians under a controlled, full-day fitment process. The system’s architecture is deliberately restricted and tamper-resistant, reinforcing its premium, insurance-grade positioning.

A New Standard in Vehicle Security

Digit PS represents a departure from reactive vehicle security models, introducing a proactive, autonomous defence philosophy that places control back where it belongs — within the system itself.

Park with Confidence. Drive Without Fear.
