Carrier Transicold is offering a new maintenance dashboard within its Lynx Fleet telematics platform, designed to enhance the management of transport refrigeration unit (TRU) maintenance for refrigerated fleets. The feature allows users to create customized preventive maintenance (PM) schedules based on real-time performance data collected by the Lynx Fleet system.

The maintenance dashboard leverages Lynx Fleet’s two-way management capabilities, enabling users to set up distinct PM intervals for up to three key TRU metrics, such as total diesel engine hours, start cycles, and high-speed engine hours. The dashboard also provides a clear overview of each asset’s PM cycle, with a color-coded indicator system that highlights the status in red, yellow, or green.

The company said in a news release that the dashboard allows for more seamless preventive maintenance scheduling through collaborative monitoring with Carrier Transicold dealers, depending on service arrangements, while centralized information access provides Carrier dealers with all necessary details, such as asset ID, TRU model type, engine hours, and recent PM history, to efficiently schedule service.

“With the maintenance dashboard, Lynx Fleet users can proactively schedule preventive maintenance based on what the equipment tells them instead of relying on calendar alerts and manual checks of TRU controllers,” said Scott Blair, senior digital program manager at Lynx Fleet telematics.
