Carrier Transicold’s new software simplifies management of TRUs

Compatible with the latest Windows operating systems, the new programs are designed for use with all Vector, X4, X2, and X-Series trailer units, as well as Supra truck units. TRU-Tech software’s intuitive screen layout makes it easy to create error-free IntelliSet commodity profiles. IntelliSet profiles, which are used with Carrier Transicold APX and Advance controls, direct the unit microprocessor to automatically adjust operating parameters for a particular load when the driver selects a commodity or customer name from a list on the control display. Fleets can use IntelliSet profiles to help maintain the optimum balance between temperature control and fuel economy, while also helping to eliminate the chance of driver errors. TRU-Tech software can also be used by technicians to monitor system parameters, such as sensor inputs and other vital data that may be downloaded for tracking, performance evaluation, recordkeeping, or analytics. The TRU-View component can generate graphic reports, showing specific TRU system performance over time, and data can be exported into Excel spreadsheets or PDFs for easy sharing. With both programs, data transfers can be handled easily via a special USB jump drive with the APX control system or via PC cards with the Advance microprocessor. For telematics-enabled refrigeration units, data transfers can be handled wirelessly. For more information, go to www.trucktrailer.carrier.com.
