Our cold chain telematics system has been\ncustomised for Schroeder Transport of Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania, resulting\nin reliable refrigeration, optimal route navigation, and efficient driving\nbehaviour.\n\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ENAiKOON_cold_chain_A.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ENAiKOON_cold_chain_A.png\" alt=\"ENAiKOON cold chain management\" width=\"184\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>\n\nThe tailored solution for the family-run transport company was created with not\nonly our proprietary software and hardware devices, but with a customised\nformula of plugins and accessories that guarantees continuous refrigeration of\nperishable goods, precise routing of delivery vehicles, and decreased fuel\nconsumption by monitoring driving behaviour.\n\nAs consumers, we take for granted the availability of fresh produce on\nalmost every street corner; moreover, it has become an expectation in our\neveryday lives. This standard\u2019s existence and maintenance is solely dependent\non today\u2019s cold chain technology, a challenge for those organisations\nresponsible for the delivery of such goods. Fresh produce, as an idea, is an\namalgamation of various processes that can be brought together with telematics.\nTo achieve this, we at ENAiKOON have created a three-fold telematics solution\nusing messenger, temp-sensor, and can-66. This combination has allowed\nSchroeder Transport to optimise their navigation, refrigeration, and driving\nbehaviour while creating new opportunities for expanding their business. The\ncollected data from the system is used by management only for the reports and\nanalysis related to cold chain, logistics, and fleet management.\n\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ENAiKOON_cold_chain_monitoring.png\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-784\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ENAiKOON_cold_chain_monitoring.png\" alt=\"ENAiKOON cold chain monitoring\" width=\"333\" height=\"332\" \/><\/a>\n\n<strong>Perfect Navigation: The ENAiKOON messenger<\/strong>\n\nSchroeder Transport from Teterow, Germany, has equipped over 50 trucks and\n40 refrigeraeted trailers with the cost effective telematics device <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/devices\/locate-series\/locate-06\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ENAiKOON locate-06<\/a>. The high-performance locate-06 is responsible\nfor GPS and GPRS. It locates the trucks, transmits and receives their data, and\nshows driving direction and speed. Schroeder Transport uses a navigation system\nby Garmin that connects to the GPS device. The telematics web portal, inViu\npro, is linked to the navigation hardware along with the software plugin,\nENAiKOON messenger. This allows the dispatcher to create messages and new\ndriving destinations in the web portal and send them to the navigation\nhardware. With the push of a button, the driver is able to simultaneously start\nthe route and begin the plugin\u2019s guided information on the navigation system\nfor smooth execution of the driving routes. The navigation system transmits the\nremaining distance and driving time to the web portal, keeping the dispatcher\nup to date on the vehicle and trip status.\n\n<strong>Cold Chain Transport: ENAiKOON temp-sensor<\/strong>\n\nThe key to cold chain is to know the ideal climate for fresh produce, and\nevery product has its own favourite temperature. Leafy vegetables, apples,\nmangos, and pears all prefer different yet specific temperatures. Frozen fish\nrequire a temperature of 18\u00b0 C below zero (-40\u00b0 F) and chocolate needs to be\nkept at 18\u00b0 C (64.4\u00b0 F). There are always complexities when transporting such\ngoods and they begin with the vehicles. In the temperature-controlled\ntransports of Schroeder are two cooling chambers. These two chambers each have\na temperature sensor that is connected to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/devices\/locate-series\/locate-04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ENAiKOON locate-04<\/a> telematics device. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/devices\/accessories\/temp-sensor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sensors<\/a> measure the temperature, which is then sent to Schroeder\u2019s\ndispatchers through the locate-04. The freshness of their produce relies on the\nfine tuning done by the drivers. Before the delivery, the drivers must select\nwhat they are delivering using pre-configured buttons. Whether it is frozen\nfood or fresh meat, the content of the cargo and its status for delivery are\nentered. These details are sent to the ENAiKOON system that configures the\ntemperature of the chambers. Thresholds and alarms are pre-programmed in the\nsystem, which automates the control of temperatures and easing the process for\nthe drivers. Furthermore, it gives the estimated time for the cooling chambers\nto reach their desired temperatures.\n\n<strong>Economic driving: ENAiKOON can-66<\/strong>\n\nFor many years, the analysis of all vehicle system data from the vehicle\u2019s\nCAN-bus has fuelled our success. This has enabled our customers to objectively\ncompare individual driving styles and fuel consumption of different vehicles\nand drivers in various categories. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to compare apples to oranges,\nour goal is rather to develop a fair evaluation for the driver,\u201d says Jan\nSchroeder, one of the two managing directors of the firm. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/software\/plugins\/can-66\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can-66<\/a> works for long and short hauls, which is perfect for\nSchroeder. The CAN-bus is a powerful tool that sends the user all important\ninformation required for analysis. The web portal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/software\/inviu-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inViu\npro<\/a>, is configured by us so that Schroeder receives a summary of important,\neasy-to-read data. It can create groups and filters so that custom reports and\ncharts can be created; for example, reports can be created comparing long and\nshort hauls by fuel consumption, speed, and RPM. Schroeder utilises this in an\nambitious way: they have configured the data so that all drivers will be ranked\nbased on their fuel consumption. Whoever consumes more gas will be ranked lower\nthan those consuming less. They have implemented an incentive plan based on who\nranks the highest in hopes to motivate the drivers to use less fuel. Their goal\nof a 10% decrease in fuel costs per driver through enhanced driving behaviour\nis now within reach. Apply this to 50 long-haul trucks for a savings of almost\n$ 300,000 per year \u2013 the cost of two new trucks.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,35,48],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2725"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2725"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17276,"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2725\/revisions\/17276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enaikoon.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
