Latest innovations from
Schmitz Cargobull
Schmitz Cargobull premiered a new generation of logistics
innovations at this month’s Transport Logistic 2019 exhibition
inMunich.
The S.CS UNIVERSAL X-LIGHT curtainsider semi-trailer: The
unladen weight of the already successful “light” curtainsider
semi-trailer has been even further reduced through weight
optimisations of the chassis combined with a new floor concept.
The X-LIGHT curtainsider, featuring the proven Schmitz Cargobull
robustness, offers an even higher payload thanks to its unladen
weight beginning at 4,975kg, making a positive economical and
ecological contribution.
S.KO COOL SMART refrigerated box body with the S.CU
cooling unit: The S.KO COOL SMART refrigerated box body has set
new standards in the commercial vehicle sector. Equipped with the
Schmitz Cargobull TrailerConnect® telematics system as standard,
it improves with the standard digital temperature recorder fleet
transparency and efficiency through its numerous innovations.
The new S.CU cooling unit represents a systematic enhancement of
the entire system. A modern 19kW common rail diesel engine now
powers the cooling and heating in the refrigerated box bodies. This
reduces the weight by 50kg and the fuel consumption by up to 10
per cent in comparison to its predecessor. Another added positive is
the reduced noise emission, which benefits both the drivers and the
surrounding environment.
Schmitz Cargobull trailer telematics: The experts from Schmitz
Cargobull Telematics have developed new features for loading
and cargo area optimisation, in particular for a refrigeration chain
management. Two new functions support transport companies
with monitoring and documenting door openings, offering
additional security. With the TL3 keypad on the front side of the
refrigerated box body, Schmitz Cargobull now provides a third
option for opening and locking the rear door in addition to the
TrailerConnect® portal 2.0 and the TrailerConnect® beSmart
app. The keypad is connected directly to the CTU 3, the central
TrailerConnect® telematics unit, via a LIN bus connection. The
telematics unit, in turn, controls the door locking system. Control
via geo-fencing is another function of the Schmitz Cargobull door
locking system. The door is automatically unlocked once the trailer
enters a defined geographic area.
Many fleets now utilise multiple telematics systems. With
TrailerConnect®, Schmitz Cargobull offers interfaces to other
telematics solutions to enable companies to work with just one
portal. These interfaces enable telematics data from diverse
trailer telematics systems to be transferred to and displayed in the
TrailerConnect® portal 2.0. This includes data from the cooling unit,
the EBS drive along with information from the sensors.
New Schmitz Cargobull apps: Schmitz Cargobull makes
monitoring loads and trailers even more efficient and transparent
with two new apps. Users are informed in real time via push
messages on their smartphone. Schmitz Cargobull has enhanced
the TrailerConnect® beSmart app specifically for drivers. The
beSmart app displays all of the information, enabling drivers to
monitor the trailer status at all times. The app connects to the
CTU 3 telematics control unit wirelessly and can also control
the door locking system and cooling unit. The trailer’s optional
temperature printer can also be controlled directly from the app.
The new TrailerConnect® beUpToDate app is oriented on the
needs of fleet managers and dispatchers. It informs all of the
telematics portal users via smartphone about the current locations
of their trailer fleet, downtimes and movement data. Schmitz
Cargobull has transferred individual functions and views from the
TrailerConnect® portal 2.0 to the mobile application. One highlight
of the beUpToDate app: The position of all or individual trailers
is shown in real-time via Google maps. In addition, the app also
provides information about the current status of the trailer such as
temperature and cooling unit data, the tyre pressures, or axle loads.
The integrated search and filter function ensures that users receive
a clear overview.
