Lynx Fleet has integrated with Schmitz Cargobull's (SCB) telematics portal, TrailerConnect, allowing you to view your SCB telematics data in Lynx Fleet to get a more comprehensive picture of your assets.
In this article:
Overview
The SCB/Lynx Fleet integration can be configured to pull trailer data for your assets into Lynx Fleet.
This data can include:
TRU Status (on/off)
Telematics Device Timestamp (when message was created)
Setpoints and TRU temperature readings
See the Fields Included in Integration section below for a more complete list.
The Asset History of these assets in Lynx Fleet will start being written as of the time the integration and mapping is established.
The matching between the two systems is done based on TRU serial number, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or License Plate Number. You will need to work with Carrier to setup which of these you will use.
Note: The assets must exist in Lynx Fleet in order for data from SCB Trailer Connect to be pushed to them, so if you add new assets to SCB Trailer Connect, you will need to work with Carrier to set them up in Lynx Fleet.
