Terberg Automotive has achieved a world first in the waste management industry by using Industry 4.0 technology to enable two-way diagnostics and remote maintenance of all key components of complete waste collection vehicles. This simplifies fault detection, increases uptime and enables more efficient maintenance and repair.
The Terberg Connect Module collects data and communicates with the various components of the vehicle. Users can then access all transmitted signals through the Terberg Connect Portal. To ensure that the highly robust module remains continuously online, Terberg Automotive was looking for a reliable IoT connectivity solution. With Comgate, the company found the right connectivity partner.
The Terberg Connect Module, together with the Terberg Connect Portal, forms the heart of the solution and was developed by Terberg Automotive. The company is known for its modules and software for special vehicles, including waste collection vehicles.
The module is designed to improve connectivity and provide advanced telematics solutions for fleet management. Its aim is to increase operational efficiency, reduce downtime and further optimise fleet management.
Terberg Automotive specialises in modular control systems with robust hardware and reliable software for automotive applications. Reliability, durability and performance under demanding operating conditions are at the heart of its solutions.
The Terberg Automotive user interface uses digital twin technology to display the real-time status of the physical hardware and vehicle. Up-to-date information from more than 300 signals originating from the key components of the waste collection vehicle can be monitored.
This allows potential maintenance issues to be identified and addressed at an early stage, before they develop into critical failures. The platform also provides fleet management insights, including route information and the current location of vehicles. Fleet managers can therefore monitor the position and movement of every vehicle within their fleet.
By analysing operational data such as vehicle usage, fuel consumption and other performance metrics, fleet performance can be optimised and costs reduced. The result: greater efficiency, lower costs and optimal vehicle availability.
Terberg Automotive wanted to make waste collection vehicles smarter, more efficient and easier to manage by leveraging Industry 4.0 technology. To enable two-way diagnostics and remote maintenance, all key components of the complete waste collection vehicle needed to be reliably connected and available online.
The main challenge was the continuous collection, transmission and management of large volumes of vehicle data. The Terberg Connect Module collects this data and communicates with the various components of the vehicle. The data needs to be transmitted securely and reliably, enabling faster fault detection, increased uptime and more efficient maintenance.
Terberg Automotive therefore needed a reliable IoT connectivity solution suitable for professional fleet management, telematics and real-time monitoring of waste collection vehicles.
For connectivity, Terberg Automotive chose Comgate’s IoT connectivity solution. This keeps the Terberg Connect Module continuously online and enables all collected signals to be reliably transmitted to the Terberg Connect Portal.
The solution enables data from the vehicles to be securely transmitted to the Terberg Connect Portal. The portal can be accessed from any computer, laptop or tablet with an internet connection. This allows users to monitor vehicle status in real time, identify maintenance issues and immediately see where and when a fault occurs.
The Terberg Connect Portal is accessible via the internet from any computer, laptop or tablet, making the solution simple and flexible to use. The system makes fleet management more efficient and contributes to reducing operational costs and the environmental footprint.
The software can also be integrated with existing fleet management software, creating a seamless user experience and providing more extensive data analysis capabilities.
To keep the Terberg Connect Module continuously connected, Terberg Automotive chose Comgate’s connectivity solution.
“Our collaboration goes back many years. We are very happy with Comgate as a partner. They are flexible, reliable and have grown with us. The solution is based on a custom private APN connected to a VPN. This allows us to guarantee our partners that all collected data is securely transmitted, stored and managed, with due attention to privacy regulations and standards.” – Erik Janssen, Manager of Innovation & System Integrity at Terberg Automotive.
With Comgate’s connectivity solution, Terberg Automotive has a reliable IoT solution that keeps the Terberg Connect Module continuously online. This enables data from waste collection vehicles to be continuously collected, processed, transmitted and made accessible through the Terberg Connect Portal.
The solution contributes to real-time fleet management, more efficient maintenance, lower operational costs and increased vehicle availability. In this way, Comgate supports Terberg Automotive in digitally managing and optimising waste collection vehicles.
