Phillips Connect has released two new SmartLock products designed to safeguard trailer loads.
The SmartLock products ensure that only authorized persons can move or unload the trailer they are attached to. Both are activated or deactivated by a digitally authenticated command completely controlled via Bluetooth LE communication interface, according to Phillips Connect.
“Trailers haul valuable commodities that the fleet is responsible for once they pick it up. And with common carriers pulling trailers that belong to others, there has always been the risk of hooking up to and hauling the wrong unit from a crowded yard,” Jim Epler, EVP Phillips Connect, said. “These two pretty simple devices could easily eliminate those risks.”
The SmartLock Gladhand is designed to prevent any unauthorized movement or towing of any asset requiring a pneumatic gladhand connection. The locking pin that prevents air to the gladhand can only be activated or deactivated with the digital command. It is powered by an integrated non-rechargeable battery pack and requires no external electrical connection. The SmartLock Gladhand can be used on either the Red (emergency) line or the Blue (service) line.
