R:COM Temperature Management System certified for 1-way and 2-way
communications
Roanoke. Virginia – February 26, 2013 – Blue Tree Systems Inc., a leading provider
of reefer monitoring, trailer tracking and in-cab fleet management solutions, today
announced its R:COM Temperature Management System is certified for both 1-way
and now 2-way communication with all DataTrak-equipped Carrier Transicold
transport refrigeration units operating in North and South America. The R:COM
System can connect to and remote control all Carrier single and multi-temp truck and
trailer refrigeration units using microprocessor control systems dating to 1996.
“We have been providing our industry leading R:COM Temperature Management
System for over twelve years in both Europe and the US and we are delighted that
we can now offer our robust advanced remote control reefer functionality to our US
customers for their Carrier units, stated Charlie Cahill, CEO of Blue Tree Systems.
“Carrier users will now have improved capability to control their reefer operations and
safeguard their temperature sensitive cargos.
The new certification provides customers of Carrier units with remote control
functionality for their units, including the ability to change set-points, clear alarm
codes, perform pre-trips and much more. This functionality is in addition to the
advanced temperature monitoring and recording functionality that Blue Tree Systems
already provides for both Carrier Transicold and Thermo King refrigeration units.
R:COM allows the transporter to react quickly to load rejections by providing them
with the ability to quickly and easily generate temperature reports in graph or tabular
format that are indisputable and can be emailed directly to the end customer in
seconds as accurate proof of in-transit temperatures. This functionality is essential
for all refrigerated transporters but especially for transporters of pharmaceuticals or
other high value temperature sensitive cargos where load rejection is not an option.
Blue Tree’s comprehensive solution extends to provide a range of independent
temperature dataloggers suitable for different vehicle types (such as small truck or
van) and also for warehouse monitoring applications. Blue Tree also offers the
industry’s most ruggedized product temperature probes which are ideal to prove
temperature compliance in multi-drop operations where the air temperature can
struggle to recover between deliveries.
With the addition of this new Carrier Transicold certification, Blue Tree Systems has
underlined its reputation as a premier provider of advanced temperature
management solutions in the industry.

2. “These advanced features combined with our several years of experience in
providing temperature management systems that comply with strict legislation in
Europe is driving our US sales exponentially as customers prepare their businesses
for impending US food safety legislation, and for ever increasing customer demands
for proof of load integrity and visibility to in-transit temperatures,” stated Cahill. “We
look forward to working closely with Carrier Transicold and our customers over the
years ahead to add even more real value to our customers operations.”
