Brussels, Belgium: Thermo King has a new BlueBox Lite telematics system for vehicle-powered refrigeration units. It provides temperature and position data, and other critical information from the vehicle-powered fridge, such as like setpoints, alarms or hours of operation.
BlueBox Lite has 4G connection allowing customers to access the data through the Thermo King TracKing website, TK Reefer, or integrate it with a third-party platform or back-end system.
“Connectivity is something not to be missed for companies looking to improve the efficiency of their cold chain operations,” said Mike McEnnis, portfolio leader product management. “By introducing the BlueBox Lite telematics device for our V-Series, VX-Series and B-Series range we want to make it easier for our customers to take advantage of the data and make their operations smarter. The BlueBox Lite is a plug-and-play, 4G solution that gives them a cost-efficient and easy way to receive real time intelligence on the operation of their refrigerated vehicle.”
Key features include:
- Near real-time data access thanks to the five-minute logging interval availability for improved response times
- Plug-and-play solution reducing the installation time, with no requirement for a separate DataLogger to get the temperature data. Unlike other telematics solutions with temperature probes, the BlueBox Lite is easily installed and connected directly to the refrigeration units’ controller
EN12830 compatible solution if combined with the optional TouchLog datalogger - 2-way command for SetPoint change to allow remote control of the load temperature.
