IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence
company helping businesses and people track, monitor and recover
vital assets with real-time visibility and insights, has
teamed up with Hyundai Translead to launch HT LinkSense with the
CalAmp edge-to-cloud smart trailer technology platform. The
end-to-end solution delivers actionable insights to fleet operators
that maximize trailer usage and safety and enable more efficient
delivery of goods.
Hyundai Translead, the leading manufacturer of dry and
refrigerated trailers in North
America, produced 66,097 trailers in 2019. Now with the
availability of this ground-breaking solution, transportation and
logistics can be reimagined to drive greater operational
efficiencies at a time when supply chains, trailers and other
critical components are deeply constrained.
Unlike conventional trailer management solutions, this open
platform smart trailer solution provides trucking companies with
granular visibility into their trailer health and utilization. By
seamlessly integrating an eco-system of industry-leading sensors
with CalAmp's smart trailer solar gateway and CalAmp Telematics
Cloud (CTC), fleet operators can visualize trailer location,
health, and usage through the CalAmp iOn™ web application.
Alternatively, they can pull these data insights into their
existing enterprise management systems by using industry standard
Application Programming Interface (APIs) to further streamline
their operations.
CalAmp's edge-to-cloud platform is factory-installed on Hyundai
Translead trailers providing reliable business-critical
intelligence about every element of a trailer, from tires and
wheels to door status and the high-value cargo inside. It gives
operations managers and other stakeholders total awareness of their
trailers and cargo while on the road or in the yard.
Some of the initial data insights enabled through the HT
LinkSense and CalAmp smart trailer solution include:
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Using accurate
tire pressure sensors, fleet managers can prevent blowouts by
monitoring the tire pressure of each trailer in real-time and
receive alerts when the tire pressure dips below pre-set
thresholds.
- Wheel End Temperature Systems (WETS): WETS detect and
monitor the temperature of the wheels on a trailer and will notify
drivers when these temperature levels become unsafe which can lead
to the tire becoming dislodged.
- Door Open/Close Sensing: Operations managers can
closely monitor the opening and closing of trailer doors, including
the timing and location of each event, which can be critical for
those carrying perishable cargo.
- Cargo Sensing: Using precise ultrasonic sensor
technology, trucking companies can monitor trailer capacity and
shipment distribution before loading to maximize trailer
utilization. This allows them to optimize cargo distribution for
maximum safety and efficiency, particularly for large fleets.
Additional sensing capabilities will be added through OEM sensor
vendors to enable visibility across all trailer elements such as
air disc brake pad wear, smart brake chamber, light out detection,
weight and more.
"Fleet managers rely on a multitude of sensors and telematics
devices to manage their transportation and logistics operations.
Trailer management systems currently on the market operate under
closed platforms that limit the capture of data insights to
proprietary sensors and telematics systems, resulting in fragmented
processes and limiting fleet visibility," said Sean Kenney, chief sales officer of Hyundai
Translead. "Along with CalAmp, we recognized the need for a
solution that could break down these silos of information and with
HT LinkSense, open more opportunities for full fleet connectivity
and greater operational efficiency."
The CalAmp edge-to-cloud smart trailer platform available
through Hyundai Translead will pave the way for expanded
aftermarket smart trailer solutions through CalAmp's full portfolio
of Global Transportation & Logistics solutions.
"Working closely with Hyundai Translead, we've eliminated the
barriers to real-time trailer and cargo visibility with this new
open platform solution. By enabling universal connectivity through
a network of industry-leading OEM sensor partners, we're providing
a single source of visibility so fleet managers can drive greater
operational efficiency while making roads safer for all drivers,"
said Jeff Clark, senior vice
president of product management, CalAmp. "We will continue to
deliver connected intelligence with our after-market smart trailer
solutions that will further expand visibility to a broader array of
vital assets and help our customers transform their businesses in
meaningful ways."
