MHD spoke to Schmitz Cargobull sales executive Luke Hardeman who said the company’s telematics technology to be showcased at MEGATRANS2024 shows industry-leading advancement to meet the evolving needs of transport logistics.
Australia’s largest logistics event, MEGATRANS, returns to Melbourne this September, shining a spotlight on sustainability in the supply chain. As the nation’s premier integrated logistics and supply chain exhibition and conference, this eagerly anticipated event is set to take place on the 18th and 19th of September 2024 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
MEGATRANS 2024 will bring together industry experts to explore how innovative technologies and practices can not only enhance sustainability but also improve efficiency and productivity within supply chains.
In a rapidly evolving logistics world, MEGATRANS 2024 has built a formidable reputation as the leading industry event, curated by Prime Creative Media. This year, the event will significantly amplify its focus on the latest in automation and intelligent technology.
Attendees will be introduced to cutting-edge developments in warehouse management systems, fleet systems, telematics, route optimisation, racking, and robotics, making the exhibition a hotbed of innovation.
Integral to MEGATRANS 2024 is its standout conference, offering a rich experience with its diverse range of expert presenters.
Over 150 industry leaders will grace the multiple, free-to-attend conference stages on the trade floor, providing valuable insights and perspectives from various supply chain sectors. The focus will be on sustainable practices and technologies that are setting new standards for environmental responsibility in logistics.
An exciting addition to the 2024 event is its collaboration with the Australian Bulk Handling Expo (BULK2024). This partnership provides attendees with a dual registration benefit, granting access to both game-changing shows.
Moreover, MEGATRANS will play host to the esteemed MHD Supply Chain Solutions Mercury Awards. Scheduled for September 18, the Gala dinner and awards ceremony will honour businesses and individuals who epitomise innovation, excellence, and leadership within the industry, particularly those advancing sustainable practices.
This confluence of the exhibition, the conference, and the awards Gala dinner creates a synergistic platform. It’s a unique opportunity for logistics and supply chain professionals to converge, network, learn, and celebrate — all under one roof, at one defining moment, with sustainability taking centre stage.
One of the many leading companies at the event, German manufacturer of semi-trailers, truck bodies and fridges, Schmitz Cargobull will be featuring its transport solutions at the event.
Schmitz Cargobull is an established manufacturer in the commercial vehicle industry that focuses on reliability, innovation, and the sustainability of both its products and processes.
At MEGATRANS 2024, Schmitz Cargobull will showcase its telematics platform TrailerConnect®.
This industry leading telematics platform has been designed for both standard and temperature-controlled logistics.
Schmitz Cargobull sales executive Luke Hardeman said that the company is implementing revolutionary technology.
“I don’t think there’s any other telematics provider capable of providing what TrailerConnect® can do.
“TrailerConnect® is an advanced telematics system that provides the logistics controller real-time data from the trailer,” said Hardeman.
Examples of this data are GPS, Speed, EBS/ABS interventions, tyre pressure, tyre temperature and advanced fridge information if the trailer is fitted with a fridge.
“Giving the operator real-time data and alerts on their fleet greatly improves safety, efficiency, and smooth delivery of products throughout Australia. Any issues that arise can be handled quickly.
“Information is everything in the transport industry and what TrailerConnect® makes us is an industry leader,” said Hardeman.
Schmitz Cargobull is to showcase this advancement in telematics at MEGATRANS to emphasise its commitment to supply chain efficiency and sustainability.
