FEEDBACK THAT DRIVES US

Real Results from Real Customers

“The quality of the GPS data matters. Phillips delivers that data to us on time, consistently, and with a level of granularity that we just don’t see from other providers.”

Jon Drohan

Director, Charger Logistics

“Leveraging the Phillips Connect CargoVision camera allows us to gain visibility into the status of every load during the critical points of delivery. Being able to see the load condition upon packing and arrival is key to being able to tell the story of the load journey to provide better customer support and supplier management.”

Alec Matson

Sr. Manager of Procurement, Wayfair

“Phillips Connect’s smart trailer platform allows us to integrate sensors that address today’s needs and easily adapt to future technologies. The real-time, actionable data we receive helps us stay ahead of maintenance and safety issues. DriverAssist and the T/T Pair technology streamline our drivers’ workflows even further, providing critical information on their tablets and preventing errors and avoiding common issues like mis-pulls.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a smart trailer platform?

A smart trailer platform is a system that collects and organizes data from sensors on a trailer. It shows information such as location, tire pressure, brake health, cargo status, and door activity in real time. Fleet managers use this data to reduce downtime, improve safety, and get more value from every trailer.

How does Connect1 help fleets save money?

Connect1 helps fleets save money by reducing unplanned downtime, preventing roadside breakdowns, and improving trailer utilization. The platform provides predictive maintenance alerts and advanced analytics, which means issues can be fixed before they become costly and trailers are kept in service longer.

What is a predictive trailer maintenance platform?

It’s an advanced software system that uses data from sensors on the trailer (like hubometers, brake stroke sensors, temperature sensors, and vibration analyzers) combined with AI and machine learning to predict component failures before they happen. It moves beyond scheduled maintenance to condition-based maintenance, fixing issues precisely when needed.

How does it differ from traditional preventive maintenance?

Preventive maintenance: based on time or mileage intervals (e.g., “check brakes every 50,000 miles”). This can lead to replacing parts that are still good or missing issues that occur between scheduled services.

Predictive maintenance: based on the actual condition of the component. It analyzes real-time data to identify early warning signs of wear and failure, allowing you to schedule repairs only when necessary, optimizing parts and labor.

What kind of problems can a predictive trailer maintenance platform predict?

By analyzing data patterns, it can predict a wide range of issues, including:

Brake failures: identifying irregular brake stroke patterns or overheating.

Wheel-end bearing failures: detecting abnormal heat and vibration signatures from hubs.

Suspension system wear: analyzing ride quality and alignment data.

Tire blowouts: going beyond TPMS by correlating pressure and temperature data with wear patterns.

Refrigeration unit (reefer) compressor issues: identifying efficiency drops and unusual strain.
