precisely pre-heated or cooled for the respective goods . Exact protocolling means there is always a record of when and how long the tank container was pre-heated , and the temperature at which it was put into operation . This is not only a reliable basis for billing tank container heating costs . All of the record protocols are available retroactively as quality proofs , so taking manual – and error-prone - notes of product temperatures or pre-heating duration is no longer necessary . Worldwide , a number of companies specialised in chemical products or food products use Savvy ’ s solution to monitor and control trace heating and cooling units remotely . Examples are Respol Resinas SA , a chemical company from Portugal and China-based Wanhua Chemical Group Co . In the case of disturbances , deviances from target temperatures or other events , an automatic alarm is immediately triggered . This enables shipment personnel to intervene without delay . “ We have equipped our tank containers with Savvy FleetTrac . This means we have taken the next step in improving investment security for our customers ,” says David Wang , sales director , CIMC Tank . “ Thanks to Savvy ’ s state-of-the-art telematics technology , uninterrupted , digital temperature protocols are not the only thing we are getting . The sophisticated alarm , diagnosis and control options offered by the Synergy Portal enable unprecedented real-time management for temperature-controlled shipments .” Aida Kaeser , CEO of SAVVY Telematic Systems , adds : “ For tank container operators and leasing firms , collaboration with us is not only attractive because of our market and technology leadership . Savvy is the exclusive telematics provider of the worldwide largest tank container manufacturer , CIMC . Our customers benefit from this in two ways : they get intelligent tank containers from

CIMC that are already equipped with Savvy technology ex-works . This way they do not have to worry about it anymore and save both installation time and money .” Robust , and with very low power consumption , also suited for long autonomous operation , the telematics units are connected by interfaces to the container and tank wagon heating and / or cooling units . Savvy ’ s intelligent interface architecture makes it possible to use the technology with a broad range of manufacturing systems . Currently , there are Savvy telematics units in operation in all established heating and cooling systems , such as Dirac , Eltherm , Löbbe and Klinge . During operations , the units record current temperatures and transmit them to the telematics firm ’ s Synergy Portal . This enables both real-time monitoring and , later on , seamless proof of

quality . The cloud-based Synergy Portal enables dispatchers also to have access to the individual units worldwide and maintain granular control over target values and unit parameters . “ Active , non-stop shipment monitoring , transmission every five minutes , etc , is possible with our system but does not make sense technically and economically . I don ’ t eat constantly to prevent feeling hunger but eat when I am actually hungry ,” explains Kaeser . “ Our telematics systems are hybrid and equipped with self-learning software . Instead of bombarding users non-stop with data , we notify them when there are actual deviations which are of interest for their task . The software takes care of the rest because it is developed to recognise automatically certain patterns , learn from them , and adjust to them accordingly . We are very

proud of the self-learning capacity of our software , resulting from long-standing experience in the development of highly complex algorithms . The advantage of digitisation is after all to automate flows to free employees from mindless , repetitive tasks . Valuable time is then available for tasks that truly add value .” – In addition to comprehensive transport safety and automated production of required documents , the Savvy solution offers more cost optimisation potential . The portal provides extensive business intelligence functions to analyse the transport processes of chemical and transport companies with respect to individual indicators . These can be used to provide optimal support for capacity utilisation , asset management or to develop new business areas . www . savvy-telematics . com
