Schmitz Cargobull Telematics:
Data networking via intelligent telematics interface
Horstmar, September 2014 - The autonomous use of individual telematics systems among
transport and logistics companies has almost become a thing of the past. These customer
groups quickly realised that utilising telematics systems only improves the efficiency of
processes when all of the available systems are intelligently networked. Schmitz Cargobull's
trailer telematics system successfully meets this challenge.
In the past year Schmitz Cargobull Telematics has standardised the interface for the
connection to other data systems and established a process for integrating the trailer
telematics data.
The ongoing technological developments in the market have given rise to trends which
Schmitz Cargobull Telematics has addressed with the new web service interface. The
strategy is as follows:
1. Cooperation and integration of the trailer telematics data into leading logistics
software. The data integration into the Winsped system from the market leader, LIS
AG, will be presented at the IAA Show.
Customers benefit from this integration as it provides the transport manager, who uses
the logistics software every day, with the trailer telematics data in the same system. This
means that the telematics system forwards the trailer and load data to the software
provider's database via a push interface. As a result, the transport manager has a clear
overview of everything in a single location, and requires neither an additional screen nor
access to a separate system.
2. Cooperation and integration of the trailer telematics data into leading truck OEM
telematics systems. The initial implementations will be presented at the IAA Show.
Customers benefit from the fact that transport managers and drivers simultaneously
receive trailer telematics data via the truck telematics system. If transport managers
primarily rely on truck telematics, then the integration into the leading system provides a
2014-157
similar increase in efficiency to the integration into the logistics software. In this case,
they also no longer need a second screen or access to separate system.
3. Cooperation and integration of the trailer telematics data into consolidation portals.
The "TelematicOne" product from T-Systems is a key example. Schmitz Cargobull
Telematics serves as the primary sales partner in Germany.
Task:
Many customers are faced with the problem of having fitted telematics systems from a
variety of different providers when purchasing vehicles. If they also lease trailers in
addition to their own assets then their fleet may include the leasing company's own
telematics system. Is there any way to obtain standardised data? A mix like this would
force the customer to operate 3-4 systems simultaneously, which is a completely
unfeasible solution.
Schmitz Cargobull Telematics – The solution:
T-Systems and Schmitz Cargobull Telematics found a solution in 2012 – TelematicOne.
Since then, T-Systems has continued developing the system. The product is now
available.
TelematicOne is already connected to a broad range of truck and trailer telematics
systems (MAN telematics/Fleetboard/Volvo Dynafleet/Cargobull Telematics / Wabco
Trailer Guard/IDEM) and can therefore offer customers one portal for consolidation. Once
again, customers have the advantage of only needing to use one single portal.
With the intelligent data networking, Schmitz Cargobull Telematics offers its customers
even greater benefits through direct process support. This is worth real money.
