Lynx Fleet Telematics: The Connected Cold Chain Solution
Intelligence and Insight for Refrigerated Operations
More than ever, today’s refrigerated transporters need to manage operations efficiently while maintaining compliance and accountability for the cold chain as they move perishable food and pharmaceuticals from coast to coast. Carrier Transicold designed the Lynx Fleet™ platform to not only help fleets achieve these goals today, but to anticipate their future needs tomorrow.
Tru IQ for Refrigerated Fleets
With the Lynx Fleet platform, connected fleets receive a centralized data stream characterizing fleet asset movements and cargo/trailer temperatures. No other telematics solution provides as much insight about Carrier Transicold units, because the Lynx Fleet platform was developed and qualified specifically for Carrier Transicold equipment. It provides the “TRU IQ” fleet managers require to make information-driven decisions that help optimize efficiencies and hold down operating costs.
With thousands of systems already installed on hundreds of fleets, the Lynx Fleet platform offers an expanding array of capabilities based on real-world needs. It is fully supported throughout North America by the Carrier Transicold factory-authorized dealer network.
Benefits that Generate ROI
Whether factory installed in new units, or field installed on existing equipment, the Lynx Fleet platform can generate ROI for fleets of every size. Just a few examples include:
Fuel Cost Control
Optimize fuel efficiency by identifying opportunities for greater use TRU operating modes
More Efficient Asset Utilization
Quickly locate and place idle refrigerated trailers into service to optimize equipment usage
Preventive Maintenance Management
Manage overall costs, extend replacement lifecycles, and track engine hours to identify maintenance needs
TRU Analytics
Provides battery health monitoring and alerts for anticipated service needs
Claims Avoidance
Centralized and recorded data easily validates and documents point-to-point temperature compliance
Labor Saving
Wireless data transfer reduces the need for technicians to walk the yard to manage equipment
Service Plans to Suit Any Fleet
The Lynx Fleet platform requires a monthly service plan. Carrier Transicold offers three plan tiers so fleets can choose based on needs and budget and even upgrade as requirements change over time.
Plays Well with Others
The Lynx Fleet web interface is just one way to view and utilize data collected from a fleet’s Carrier Transicold refrigeration units. The information can also be easily shared with most major transportation management systems (TMS) for both one-way monitoring and two-way control.
For fleets that have developed their own custom data platforms, Carrier Transicold offers an application programming interface (API), a toolkit that enables integration and display of data collected by the Lynx Fleet platform.
When fleets have a mix of Lynx Fleet-enabled Carrier Transicold refrigeration units and telematics-equipped units from other providers, integrating inbound unit data through a common TMS provides the advantage of a complete overview of all refrigerated assets, regardless of make.
