Kögel has changed the standard equipment of its trailers
The German manufacturer Kögel will now sell its trailers with a built-in telematics system. It will already be available as standard equipment. According to the company’s management, this step will increase the transparency of processes for fleet operators. Moreover, they can better control expenses and, if necessary, optimize them. The decision to make the new telematics system more affordable was also dictated by the analysis of the market and its trends. As Kögel pointed out, requirements in the trailer segment change regularly, and to meet customer desires, approaches must be improved regularly. The telematics system allows you to fully monitor the status of transport and analyze the amount of operating costs. This will not only make the business more successful but also make the processes more environmentally friendly.
The system Kögel Telematics is a modern tool that helps you to maintain and repair your vehicles as well as optimize fuel consumption. Telematics from the German manufacturer has an open interface, which is suitable for most standard telematics portals. This enables transport companies, including those with mixed trailer fleets, to quickly access all data, regardless of which thematic portal they use.
The Kögel system is compatible with various third-party tools for fleet management. Synchronization and data transfer is easy thanks to standardized functionality.
With Kögel Telematics you can track the location of your tractor online, analyze the condition of its tires and monitor the cooling system. All data is entered and stored in Telematics Connectivity, which makes all information available on the portal or on other services that operators use for their activities. In addition, the data can be imported into various programs in order to adjust processes. The Kögel Telematics portal allows you to evaluate the information and presents it in an easy to understand manner.
An important highlight is the alarm function. In the case of a mishap on the road, the system sends information about it to the portal. It can be anything – an unplanned deviation from the route or a temperature violation. It also informs the operator about the problems, if necessary, and informs about the likely consequences. It is possible to set up such signals via SMS or e-mail.
In addition to the integrated telematics system, Kögel offers various packages where the operator can select the best option. This also includes the installation of additional equipment. The management of the German trailer manufacturer hopes that their system will be useful for customers and be a good tool for running a transport business.
