KF Trucking: refrigerated-fleet monitoring

A historical deployment with Thermo King East, Piccolo Hybrid devices and Fleet.Net.

Applications

KF Trucking - A Thermo King East and Wireless Links Joint Offering​

KF Trucking, a cold chain food distributor from New Jersey and a Thermo King East Customer, was in need of a temperature monitoring solution integrated with fleet management to track their 22 refrigerated trailers and trucks. They wanted to track location and monitor the temperature of these trailers and trucks 24/7 while getting alerts for any extreme temperature changes.

Thermo King East, a valued partner of Wireless Links, proposed the Wireless links Piccolo Hybrid devices packaged with the Fleet.net platform, an integrated solution for trailer tracking and temperature monitoring .
Thermo King East successfully installed the system in early 2018. The installation was fast and simple.

The operating requirement

KF Trucking needed location and temperature visibility for 22 refrigerated trailers and trucks. The requirement was continuous monitoring with alerts for extreme temperature changes.

The proposed system

Thermo King East proposed Piccolo Hybrid devices together with Fleet.Net to bring trailer tracking and temperature monitoring into one solution. The original case record places installation in early 2018.

Planning a similar deployment

Start with the vehicles, the refrigerated compartments to monitor and the team responsible for responding to alerts. Confirm sensor placement, connectivity and reporting requirements with the solutions team. This historical example does not establish a measured savings or recovery rate.

Planning refrigerated-fleet monitoring

For a similar project, list the vehicles and refrigerated compartments that need monitoring. Record the temperature ranges for each load, where sensors can be fitted and how the operations team will identify each vehicle in Fleet.Net. This gives the installation team a clear starting point before equipment is selected.

Agree who will review temperature alerts during deliveries and outside normal working hours. During the initial rollout, check that each sensor is assigned to the correct vehicle and that the team can find its location and readings. Use those checks to establish the process for adding more vehicles to the system.
