Climate Control

Case Study - Thermo King

Company Background

Thermo King is the global leader in solutions for temperature-controlled transport, supplying the world market from 11 production facilities and over 800 distributors world-wide. The company offers a wide range of refrigeration and heating units for vehicles of all sizes, from small vans to large trailers, as well as airborne and ocean-going containers. In addition, Thermo King provides heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment for passenger buses and railcars.

The Challenge

During 2005 Celtrak embarked on a highly sophisticated engineering effort to create a global telemetry-based managed service to meet the requirements of the Thermo King Climate Control division. Given the growing impact of European regulations on food safety, monitoring the transportation of perishable goods has become increasingly important and in response to this Thermo King requested Celtrak to develop a state-of-the-art temperature monitoring and fleet management application for its global market and diverse customer base.

The Solution

The TracKing system was specifically designed as a total web based system using GPRS and GPS technology, including high quality hardware, firmware and software, all elements of which were designed and developed entirely by Celtrak. Thermo King customers across the world can now monitor refrigerated cargo at any time.
