TrailerConnect® beSmart app - to operate the SmartTrailer
The beSmart app ensures that your drivers are always aware of the status of the trailer and can react quickly if necessary. The integrated Wi-Fi module in the trailer provides communication between the telematics control unit and a smartphone. You'll never miss important news or messages again.
- Cargo area temperature analysis: View the current temperature on your smartphone and control the temperature printer directly from your smartphone
- Monitoring and control of the cooling unit: Keep an eye on the cooling unit's operating data
- Brake pad wear monitoring: Avoid breakdowns and plan your workshop visits efficiently. The beSmart app shows you the status of your brake pads
- Axle load: Improve safety on the road and reduce the wear and tear on your trailer. Check whether the axle load matches the delivery paperwork
- Tyre status monitoring: Avoid flat tyres and increased tyre wear by keeping an eye on tyre pressure and tyre temperature
- Rear door locking system: Control the PIN-protected door locking system easily and conveniently via the beSmart App

FAQ
-
Why does TrailerConnect® telematics represent such innovative equipment, particularly in the S.KO Cool Smart?Because telematics in the trailer helps to make many monitoring and control processes for the semi-trailer and load more efficient and transparent, permitting considerable optimisation.
-
What benefits does an OEM system offer?All components are ideally connected to each other in the trailer and professionally installed in line with automotive standards. This creates a high level of quality and maximum system availability.
-
What should my trailer telematics system do in addition to giving the position?As well as specifying the location of the trailer, a trailer telematics system provides intelligent connectivity and fast diagnosis of all the components of the trailer, combined with reliable integrated temperature management. The right telematics systems enables processes to be optimised and transport safety improved.
