SAVVY® digitizes rail-overseas and dangerous goods transports with high-tech ATEX portfolio

SAVVY ATEX-certified telematics units offer performance and durability well above industry standards, opening up the full spectrum of digital process optimization to hazardous materials logistics. With SAVVY’s technologically leading telematics units, absolute freedom from maintenance and autonomy is guaranteed over the entire service life up to 15 years – even under the harshest conditions. Based on SAVVY technologies, companies in transport logistics obtain optimal traceability for means of transport and transport units, automate administrative processes, can increase the productivity of their transport processes and develop new, value-added services for customers or associated business units.

The cloud-based SAVVY® Synergy Enterprise portal not only makes logistics processes transparent, but also offers comprehensive collaboration options for quick exchange and easy coordination with all parties involved. This is complemented by powerful business intelligence tools that enable rapid analyses of business processes and reliable forecasts. On this basis, processes in transport logistics and related business areas can be digitally networked and optimized in a targeted manner.

The SAVVY CargoTrac-ExR is approved for Zone 1 hazardous areas (gas, dust) and is suitable for a wide variety of transport units: Containers, IBCs, freight cars of all types, and rail tank cars. An internal acceleration sensor reliably detects shocks, impacts, vibrations and accelerations in the range of ±8g. Furthermore, an integrated GNSS receiver ensures precise positioning up to an accuracy of 2m. All common satellite systems like GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS are supported. All antennas are integrated in the device, so no external antenna connections are necessary. As a further innovation, CargoTrac-ExR offers the possibility to connect external sensors also via a 2.4GHz ZigBee radio interface. In addition, there is a sensor gateway, with encrypted data transmission:

The SAVVY® Sense Gateway-ExR, for Zone 0 and Zone 20 hazardous areas, offers four connection options for manufacturer-independent ATEX sensors for monitoring temperature, pressure, fill levels or interlocks. Two internal temperature sensors detect ambient and operating temperature, plus a reed switch can detect external changes via a magnet (e.g. door opening, gateway removal, lever position, etc.). With SAVVY’s scalable telematics system solution based on CargoTrac-ExR, companies from the hazardous goods logistics sector can digitally network, monitor and agilely manage their business processes: for maximum productivity in transport, handling and storage, but also to further increase value creation in logistics through new, customer-centric services.

SAVVY® also supports the ITSS standard interface between server-side telematics applications (independent of the vendor) and the end customer’s IT environment. The SAVVY® devices communicate wirelessly and are “ITSS2-ready” for the future vendor-interoperable radio standard from TIS/ITSS. This guarantees a manufacturer-independent data exchange at any time. Separate software that consolidates different telematics manufacturers and unites them in a separate portal is thus a thing of the past – welcome independence, welcome digitalization 4.0!
