Integrated trailer management for more efficient fleet management
The transport industry is taking a technological leap forward thanks to the collaboration between Mapon, a leading provider of fleet management solutions, and Schmitz Cargobull, Europe’s largest manufacturer of trailers. The collaboration introduces seamless integration of Schmitz Cargobull’s TrailerConnect® system into Mapon’s platform, giving fleet managers a complete and integrated overview of their trailers and vehicles.
Real-time monitoring for smart decisions
Schmitz Cargobull’s TrailerConnect® system provides crucial data such as location, temperature, humidity and maintenance needs. Thanks to the integration with Mapon’s platform, fleet managers can access all of this data within one user-friendly interface. This eliminates the need to use multiple systems and simplifies decision-making.
Benefits of this integration:
- Cost savings: No additional telematics hardware required for vehicles already equipped with TrailerConnect®, reducing installation and maintenance costs.
- Centralized data access: Uniform overview of all vehicles and trailers on one platform.
- Comprehensive insights: Data such as tire pressure, door status and cooling unit conditions are clearly displayed, essential for optimal performance.
Smart technology for temperature-sensitive freight
The integration offers a particular advantage for companies that work with temperature-sensitive goods, such as perishable food and pharmaceuticals. Environmental sensors in the trailers continuously monitor temperature and humidity, which is crucial to ensuring the quality of the cargo. These functions are indispensable in industries where delivery quality and consistency are of great importance.
Security and preventive maintenance
In addition to monitoring, the collaboration offers enhanced security and maintenance functionalities:
- Preventive maintenance alerts: Avoid unexpected downtime with proactive maintenance.
- Security: Real-time alerts minimize the risk of cargo theft or tampering.
