Freight wagon rental company Transwaggon (TWA) and ScandFibre Logistics (SFL) chose the Swiss company SAVVY Telematic Systems AG to deliver telematics technology for 3,000 freight wagons. Following the contract signed in November 2016 for a 5-year period, the solutions were tested on 50 TWA freight wagons used across Europe in SFL transport and the installation of the systems on the rest of the 3,000 wagons began in February this year.
SAVVY provides precise position data in real-time along the entire route – from freight wagon loading to unloading – with an accuracy of up to 2 metres including shock detection with configurable thresholds in x.y, and z axes. At over 1000 points of interest such as loading and unloading points, or switch yards, the distance (air or rail route) up to the next 10 points of interest is displayed with each position report. In addition to transmitting position data and the resulting route deviation and performance data, the system provides additional shock detection data.
A special highlight is that SAVVY records updates, configuration changes etc. ‘over the air’ on the devices; additional sensors to indicate temperature or overloading can also be installed. Futhermore, completely maintenance-free telematics devices, precise and reliable data, robustness and stability even under the harshest conditions at temperatures of up to -40°Celsius are compelling features of the solution.
