CarrierWeb’s ReeferMate helps protect loads and ensure cargo security with its up-to-the-minute monitoring, including temperature, power, battery status, fuel level and more. This monitoring solution connects directly to the reefer unit’s microprocessor, allowing real-time, two-way communication so reefer assets can be managed and controlled from anywhere.
CarrierWeb, a mobile communication and information management service provider, announced the launch of the ReeferMate control solution, a refrigeration monitoring and control technology. The solution offers real-time, two-way communication and enables fleet managers to monitor, manage and control all reefer assets from anywhere, the company said.
The product interfaces directly to the microprocessor controllers of reefer units provided by all major manufacturers. It is built with weatherproof components and is mounted in the cowling of the reefer compartment – all wiring, cabling and connectors are included – to support the always-on monitoring. The unit ties directly into the reefer power source or via the 7-way hitch, allowing real-time position, fuel and door monitoring when the reefer is turned off.
Precise wireless monitoring with up-to-the-minute reefer status information and real-time temperature control protects loads from spoiling, thereby reducing freight claims, ensuring cargo security and improving insurance risks and rates, the company said. The unit provides monitoring and control of reefer status, including operating state, temperatures, alarms and alarm disposition clearing, power and battery status, and fuel level. Exception event information such as on-time status and fuel changes to operations, route deviations to safety, financial parameters to finance and executive management, is reported in real time to the appropriate personnel. All information can be integrated into a fleet’s internal operations system in addition to being available on Carrier Web’s web site.
