Temperature control specialist Thermo King has added Trailer Assist to its connectivity story.
The company says the new technology collects and presents a range of insights related to a trailer’s operational condition extending the user’s ability to view fleet performance beyond refrigeration units. Trailer Assist offers a comprehensive range of data points by which customers can monitor day-to-day trailer condition.
Trailer Assist offers a comprehensive range of operational and maintenance data points by which fleet and service managers can monitor day-to-day trailer conditions and
• Enhance vehicle uptime and asset utilization through proactive maintenance
• Optimize transportation routes by analysing weight information (via axle loads)
• Improve logistics flow and avoid wrong trailer pickup (by tracking individual VINs)
• Extend the life-span of tyres and optimize fuel consumption (by tracking their pressure).
Trailer Assist collects data from a trailer’s various electronic sensors and processes them in real-time offering alarms and events logs (via email, text, or apps). This information can be accessed via a smartphone (utilizing the TK Reefer App and TKNotify), or online via the Thermo King TracKing platform.
