Lynx Fleet applies advanced IoT and analytics
Lynx Fleet provides users with a new ability to monitor and manage their refrigerated transport
Applying advanced IoT, machine learning and analytics, Lynx Fleet provides users with a new ability to monitor and manage their refrigerated transport, automate key processes and reduce logistics failures, so as to increase performance and reduce total cost of ownership.
“Our customers have asked for a more connected cold chain to improve their fleet optimization and business operations,” said Victor Calvo, President - Truck Trailer International at Carrier Transicold, adding “We will continue to strengthen Lynx Fleet, to further support our customers, meeting their goals.”
Lynx Fleet offers the following software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions:
- Improved operational, equipment and energy efficiency: Users can automate delivery appointments by triggering geo-fencing alerts at warehouse entrances, reduce energy use with two-way remote commands (e.g., defrost), and obtain diagnostics at a distance for faster maintenance.
- End-to-end visibility and intelligence: Compliant with EN12830 standard, Lynx Fleet puts fleet owners in control of their cargo, with email alerts, temperature-out-of-range alarms, event notifications such as door openings and more.
- Sustainability improvements: Fleet owners can use two-way commands to reduce running hours, decreasing fuel consumption by up to 15%, while minimizing CO2 emissions. They can also decrease food waste through real-time temperature monitoring and optimize their fleets, by analyzing engine hours and fuel levels.
- An open ecosystem: The Lynx Fleet open platform integrates with transportation and warehouse management systems (TMS and WMS). Through a single pane of glass and an intuitive interface, users can access all reefer data, drilling down into specific variables, such as temperature at delivery.
