Carrier Transicold introduces a maintenance dashboard for refrigerated fleets

The maintenance dashboard is part of Lynx Fleet’s Monitor & Enhanced Control data plan, allowing users to monitor asset performance and manage events remotely.

Carrier Transicold has introduced a new maintenance dashboard for its Lynx Fleet telematics platform, allowing users to create personalized preventive maintenance schedules for transport refrigeration units based on real-time performance data. Carrier Transicold is part of Carrier Global Corporation, a global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.

The Maintenance Dashboard by Lynx Fleet enhances user scheduling of TRUs by enabling distinct PM intervals based on calendar days or operating hours for up to three items on the truck or trailer. The dashboard displays each asset’s PM cycle using numerical values and a colour-coded indicator, displaying red, yellow, and green for each asset.

Scott Blair, Senior Digital Program Manager, said, “Lynx Fleet Telematics 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.” 

The maintenance dashboard has other features to enhance the operations of refrigerated fleets on the Lynx Fleet telematics network:

A tabular data presentation similar to the Lynx Fleet Asset View, a familiar interface that 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 prioritise the most essential information.

Streamlined communication with Carrier Transicold dealers. With some service arrangements, TRU performance can be monitored collaboratively with Carrier Transicold dealers for more seamless preventive maintenance scheduling.

Centralised access to the information carrier dealers need when scheduling service. This includes the asset ID, TRU model type and model number, engine operating hours, and when preventive maintenance was last performed.

The maintenance dashboard is among the many benefits of Lynx Fleet’s Monitor & Enhanced Control data plan. Users can monitor an asset’s performance and manage events remotely, including downloading diagnostic information recorded by TRU controllers. Lynx Fleet hardware comes standard on Carrier’s most popular trailer refrigeration units. Peripheral components like fuel sensors, temperature probes, door switches, and solar panels can be specified as needed. Activation requires a data plan and commissioning by an authorised Carrier Transicold dealer.

The maintenance dashboard is now available, and for information on Carrier Transicold’s commercial vehicle refrigeration solutions and Lynx Fleet telematics platform, contact Carrier Transicold’s North America dealer network experts.
