DTG case study from Bosch26 Mar 2020 08:59
DTG wanted to eliminate this problem and started to search for possible solutions. "We wanted to offer our customers an extended service and ensure even better customer satisfaction," Gassert emphasizes. A solution was required, which included real-time tracking with monitoring of various parameters such as temperature, and shock and vibration data of the freight. At the same time, it had to be able to monitor the integrity of the corrosion seal.
"If this information is known, we can actively intervene and avert the risk of corrosion or report damage caused during transport to our customers in advance. In this case, one of our employees travels to the current location of the machine, re-equips the packaging with desiccant and seals it tightly. This ensures that the machine arrives optimally protected and monitored", says DTG managing director Gassert."We found two viable solutions via Google," recalls Mr. Gassert. "In terms of product performance and also the price, we were ultimately convinced by the Bosch variant TDL140 Freight Guard with the associated cloud solution".
TDL140 Freight Guard is equipped with a GPS module and sensors, and enables real-time tracking of the cargo. At the same time, sensors monitor vibrations and temperatures, flagging events in a user defined inadmissible range, as well as incoming light. Incoming light means that the packaging is damaged and preservation is no longer guaranteed.
Via the cloud and the corresponding backend, DTG thus always has current information as to whether intervention is necessary. To make the application even more convenient, it is also possible to have alarm messages forwarded to the smartphone by email or SMS if predefined limits are exceeded or a light incidence occurs.
