Schmitz and TIP share digital trailer data

Amsterdam, Netherlands: Trailer data from standard Schmitz Cargobull TrailerConnect hardware can be transmitted automatically to TIP’s Insight system.

This enables operators using Schmitz Cargobull telematics and from TIP Trailer Services can decide on which which system the data should be displayed.

“This uncomplicated and convenient solution is made possible by a cooperation between Cargobull Telematics and TIP Insight, Schmitz says.

“The use of the standardised TrailerConnect hardware in the Schmitz Cargobull Trailer is the most sustainable and economically sensible decision to respond to the increasing demand for digitalization,” Marnix Lannoije, managing director, Schmitz Cargobull Telematics says.

“The TrailerConnect hardware enables continuous analysis of real-time trailer data and forms the basis for networked services, significantly increasing sustainability and competitiveness. Smooth data provision requires both standardization of data and interoperability of systems as elementary building blocks.

“Our customers speak with one voice on this issue: they want to access all vehicle data as quickly, easily and transparently as possible in order to manage their fleets and operations even more efficiently. We are now ensuring this with the compatibility of TIP Insight and Cargobull Telematics. Every customer can call up all the data they need in their preferred telematics portal. An important milestone in making digitalization a reality for many transport companies.”
