Telematics technology is essential for the business of many transport companies, especially in the pharmaceutical sector. Sensitive freight is one of the most important business areas for GRIESHABER Logistik: it transports items such as human medical products, medical devices, production and freezer tanks, hazardous substances and laboratory samples at temperatures from -95 to +25 degrees Celsius.
With their new running gear generation iC Plus, BPW has brought intelligent algorithms to trailer running gears for the first time. At IAA, BPW is now presenting a retrofit solution including utilisation recognition, predictive maintenance and optimised fleet efficiency - and with a minimal investment and installation effort.
The BPW Group will be presenting intelligent solutions for greater efficiency and control in the transport business at IAA 2024 in Hannover. Trailers play a key role here: with innovations such as artificial intelligence and electrical energy generation, BPW is taking transport efficiency and predictability to a new level – and expanding the options available to transport companies.
The AI revolution in transport is unstoppable: the trailer now recognises its optimum load based on the axle loading, checks critical components - and issues a warning before things get expensive and dangerous. The new iC Plus running gear generation from BPW uses intelligent algorithms to analyse braking performance.
idem telematics has broken its own record at the German Telematics Award: the combination of well thought-out practical benefits and sustainable innovative capacity has put the European market leader on the podium five times, including two first-place finishes. A valuable decision-making aid for vehicle operators who want to get involved in vehicle networking with a view to upcoming EU regulations
Empty runs and under-utilised trailers are considered the number one efficiency killer in the transport industry. However, overloaded trailers can result in lengthy inspections, fines or even accidents. BPW offers a remedy with the intelligent axle load display of the new iC Plus running gear generation.
Logistics company Ludwig Meyer relies on the expertise of idem telematics and TACHOfresh for the conversion to Smart Tacho 2.
With its holistic approach to digitalisation, BPW has fundamentally changed the way trailer running gears are developed, built and maintained. Now the innovation leader is advancing the digital DNA of its running gears to artificial consciousness: the trailer of the future thinks and manages itself. BPW reveals the first details of the new generation iC Plus running gear at transport logistic.
The triumphant advance of telematics is unstoppable: idem telematics has tripled its sales of telematics devices in just two years. The company perfectly captures the theme of the trade fair transport logistic - and is driving the revolution in transport through artificial intelligence: the intelligent maintenance calendar is a first step towards AI-driven predictive and preventive maintenance.
At the international trade fair for logistics and mobility "transport logistic" in Munich (9 - 12 May), the BPW Group will be focusing its trade fair presentation in Hall A6, Stand 310 on efficiency, safety and sustainability. Under the motto "Solutions for driving value in transport", the group of companies is providing answers to the most urgent questions in the transport industry.
Whether vaccines, yogurt or frozen pizza: many transported goods are temperature-sensitive and must be kept cool on the road. The seamless checking and documentation of the cold chain are legally prescribed - however, recipients sometimes prefer a paper printout and at other times data in different formats as proof. Market leader idem telematics has now significantly simplified the verification.
The VDA as a partner, a governor as patron, an illustrious jury of experts and a strict evaluation process: the Telematics Award, which is presented every two years, pulls out all the stops to reinforce its authority. The fact that industry leader idem telematics is chosen as the winner in the most demanding field of refrigerated transport is the only constant in a changing market.
telematics creates total transparency in the world of transport with cargofleet 3 portal – the key question is: who has control of the data? Market leader idem telematics has now made it possible for hauliers to manage transport data relating to specific trips and orders themselves and decide which specific end customers to forward it to.
The BPW Group develops its solutions for the transport and logistics industry in close cooperation with hauliers, drivers, dispatchers, fleet managers and innovative industry partners. BPW is focusing on this special bond at the IAA Transportation in Hanover: the BPW exhibition stand in Hall 26 is set to become the meeting point for the transport industry.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Transport Europe GmbH combines its refrigeration expertise with the open-system transport telematics of the European market leader idem telematics: at the IAA Transportation, both companies will present an integrated telematics portal that brings more transparency and proactive service to the transport operator throughout the entire refrigerated transport proces
Telematics is not only indispensable for heads of transport companies, drivers and dispatchers; access to vehicle data also provides a huge relief for fleet managers. Now, market leader idem telematics is expanding its cargofleet 3 platform to include intelligent maintenance management, which is already paving the way for AI-driven predictive and preventive maintenance.
With the use of truck telematics, fleet operators can significantly reduce their costs, optimise workflows and increase customer satisfaction. Nevertheless, many avoid truck manufacturers' systems. idem telematics is now changing the market with a new, manufacturer-independent truck telematics system that is less complicated, more versatile and even cheaper than ever.
The German Telematics Award is known as the world's toughest and at the same time most realistic test for transport telematics systems; the test criteria were even made stricter this year. The result: European market leader idem telematics took 1st place in two categories. In the process, the market leader significantly extended its points lead over the competition.
À l'occasion du salon Solutrans à Lyon, le groupe BPW réaffirme sa position de leader technologique européen pour les essieux, les systèmes de trains roulants et la connectivité du conducteur, des marchandises et du véhicule. Pour la première fois, BPW et Thermo King présentent conjointement un système de refroidissement efficace sur le plan environnemental pour les remorques.
The networked trailer is becoming the "new normal" in the commercial vehicle industry: customers of Wilhelm Schwarzmüller GmbH can now experience the benefits of data-supported real time functionalities for three months without obligation. Remote diagnosis capability, tracking, fleet management and many other services are now on board as standard in all new and rental vehicles.
