SMARTER VEHICLES, STRONGER CONNECTIONS ARE IN KRONE IAA

In the presentations made in the event, besides many important features, the most prominent ones are "Smart trailer control" and "Smart tire pressure control" developed totally by telematic system. These systems allow drivers and fleet managers to take precautions in order to increase the efficiency and road safety of the trailer.

We have witnessed that the most ambitious and most focused system is telematics. As is the  case in other vehicles, Krone uses the telematics systems, that are developed and offered by Krone, in Turkey on refrigerating vehicles, which have a significant place in Turkey. This system, which is carried to the Cool Liner, provides efficient refrigeration logistics by providing heat control.

In addition to these, all kinds of power and comfort brought to the vehicles were reflected to us in presentations. We had the opportunity to observe all the details in every vehicle. Integrating many systems into its own brand not only to improve vehicle technology but also to increase the efficiency of logistics; Krone narrated all the details about Load Stabilization Tent Safe Curtain, Load Area Detection System Smart Scan, Smart Track and Trace System which assist Cargo Loading and Unloading via sensor, Smart Capacity Management System ensuring Smart Capacity Method, Smart Birdview System ensuring full visibility and maneuverability, and Claim Care reporting the demands of users digitally.

With all these developed products and services, Krone brand has shown to the world press in this event that it will make a tremendous impact in 2018 IAA Hannover Commercial Vehicles Fair.

The Highest Investment in the History of Krone

In this event hosted by Bernard Krone, General Manager of Krone Group, the new Krone Cataphoresis Coating Center, which was launched in the main plant in Werlte and has an investment value of 40 million Euros, was officially introduced for the first time. This facility is also the highest investment ever made in 112 years of Krone history.

The new Krone Cataphoresis Coating Center, which is based on an area of ??16,500 square meters and has a height of 20 meters, cataphoresis (KTL) coating that provides the highest level protection against environmental effects and rusting is applied on chassis. Chassis which are exposed to sanding and cathodic root dye are prepared in the most modern way and presented to end users. It takes less than 7 minutes for a chassis to finish the surface coating process in this facility.

"There is no more modern technology in the world than we use in this facility"

Giving explanations about he new Krone Cataphoresis Coating Center, Bernard Krone, General Manager of the Krone Group, said: "There is no more modern technology in the world than we use in this facility. I think that we are also showing our commitment to the Werlte region with this center where we made the highest investment in our history. Reducing emissions of carbon dioxide per chassis by more than 30 percent, this facility also saves 12.6 million kilowatts of electricity annually. In the best possible standards, we will continue to increase our production quality.”

“Our slogan for IAA Commercial Vehicle Fair is ‘Clever Connections’”

Krone, who also made a statement about the IAA Commercial Vehicles exhibition to be held in Hanover on September 20-27, said: "Brilliantly bring together the transport world and create first-rate added value; this year's IAA Commercial Vehicles Fair slogan 'Clever Connections' represents it. While we prepare our trailers for the future with artificial intelligence, we integrate our products with intelligent services for a more dynamic and efficient logistics operation. Thus, we ensure that all important transport data are prepared quickly, while ensuring that the transport is done safely. We set the highest standards for our users and rely on our commitment to quality to make the journey even more profitable. I invite everyone at IAA Commercial Vehicles fair. Smart transportation systems, future services and innovation will all come together in our E33 numbered booth in the 27th Saloon.

“You will Continue to Hear of Krone with the Solutions We Developed Specially in the World of Transportation”

Giving a short statement in the promotion underlining that more efficient loading, more secure driving and higher profitability will be invreased by the technologies developed by Krone, Ingo Lübs, Krone Marketing Manager, said: "I want to say that Krone never left 360 degreee of customer – oriented approach and has the unique experience in offering the best to  the customers at any time. You will continue to hear of Krone in the world of transportation with innovations that you see in this event and we will introduce at the IAA Commercial Vehicles fair, together with our custom-specific solutions."

Krone continues to be a pioneer in aftermarket services in Europe. The doors of the new Logistics and Spare Parts center, which was put into use with 8.5 million euros of investment in the past few months, were opened to press members with the hosting of Krone Group After Sales Services Director Ralf Faust.
Showing around the facility with the press members and giving a detailed presentation, Ralf Faust, Director of After Sales Services for Krone Group, said: "With this facility providing supply for important regional Krone spare parts centers in Istanbul, Budapest, Lyon, Scandinavia and Baltic region, Krone's entire spare parts distribution network control goes to one center. We have built a system that delivers a large part of the work to the robots in Industry 4.0, while there are only 40 employees in this facility, which has the ability to prepare more than 23 thousand orders and ship within a day in every month.

“Saving both in terms of Time and Money”

Underlining the necessity of digitalization in the coming age, Faust said: “We introduce you to a new system called "Smart Trailer Control" which will work within Krone Telematics. “Smart trailer control”, using the enriched reality method with the aid of trailer mounted cameras and sensors, transfers the the real images to thesystems and allows to compare the current state of the trailer with the targeted efficiency. Accordingly, before shipping has begun, our users have seen measures that can improve trailer efficiency and road safety. In terms of fleet management, the status of the trailer has been made measurable in every sense, and at the same time, if some risks are anticipated, both temporal and financial savings are achieved. We are one of the nominees for the award in “Smart trailer control” and “Trailer Innovations 2019”.

“Lower Fuel Consumption and Lower Operating Costs for Logistics”

Indicating that Krone continue to innovations in terms of digitallizations without slowing down, Faust said: “Another innovation to work with Telematics again is the Smart Tire Pressure Control which is to be mandated by law in 2022. This equipment measures the temperature of the tires and the air pressures with the aid of two sensors mounted on each axle on the trailer. Thanks to the hardware that transfers the data in real time to the fleet managers via Krone Telematics, Krone users are able to intervene in real time with a loss of tire pressure or overheating problems in tires. "Smart tire pressure control" would be very useful for logistics to achieve lower fuel consumption and lower operating costs if we consider that these measured values ??of the tires also affect an efficient transport operation.”

Light, Fast, Safe: Side Molding Leaves its Place to Spring Steel

New Load Stabilizer Tent - Krone Safe Curtain

At the IAA 2018 fair to be held in Hannover, Krone will introduce Safe Curtain load stabilizer tent. Although the name of Tent actually makes all things clear; Krone's Safe Curtain, the Secure Tent as load stabilizer tent, stands out with high-strength steel spring plates integrated into the vertical PVC tunnel cavities on the side jaws. Thanks to this technology, Krone offers the option of load securing using the side awning without traditional side seals. The advantage of this load-stabilization system, Safe Curtain, is that it offers safer and faster fixing, as well as load-saving. Compared to the classic side tilt with side-bolt, Safe Curtain is about 90 kg. lighter. Another advantage of the system is; the integrated spring steel plates provide protection against theft thanks to its vertical structure. Even if the awning is intentionally cut, it can only be cut from the spring steel plate. However, repair of tent is at least as easy as standard side awning repair. In addition to this, the accident which is the result of the dropping of side jaws on the job fields is in the past thanks to this system.
