Carrier Transicold
Carrier Transicold introduced a new Maintenance dashboard for its Lynx Fleet telematics platform, where users can create customized preventive maintenance (PM) schedules for their transport refrigeration units based on performance data collected and communicated in real time.
“With the Maintenance dashboard, Lynx Fleet users can proactively schedule preventive maintenance based on what the equipment tells them instead of relying on calendar alerts and manual checks of TRU controllers,” says Scott Blair, senior digital program manager, Lynx Fleet Telematics.
Key takeaways:
- The Maintenance dashboard uses Lynx Fleet’s two-way management and control capabilities to transform how users manage the scheduled maintenance of their TRUs. It introduces the ability to set up distinct PM intervals based on calendar days or operating hours for up to three items on the truck or trailer, including total diesel engine hours, total switch-on hours, start cycles and high-speed engine hours. The dashboard shows where each asset is in its PM cycle using precise numerical values and a simple color-coded indicator that flashes red, yellow and green.
- Another feature is a tabular data presentation similar to the Lynx Fleet Asset View, which displays the latest data about all the user’s assets on the Lynx Fleet network in one place. Information can be filtered and sorted to prioritize the most essential information.
- The dashboard also streamlines communication with Carrier Transicold dealers and provides centralized access to the information dealers need when scheduling service.
