Wireless data transfer with solar energy
VTG is investing in the digitalisation of its fleet. The German rail logistics and wagon hiring company has ordered 15,000 main GPS units which producer Intermodal Telematics (IMT) will deliver during the next 15 month.
The solar powered GPS unit enables unlimited data transfer and long-lasting operational reliability on rail wagons and other assets that do not have their own power source.
As the CLT20-Ex serves as a central hub for all IMT sensors installed on a rail wagon, it forms the basis for near real-time information on location (worldwide), load status, and cargo related values as temperature, liquid levels and pressure.
All collected and transmitted data about the rail wagon and its cargo by IMT will be collated and analysed on VTG’s platform. (ben)
