TOC Europe 2024
How is the digital transformation to a smart port paving the way to a sustainable future? And what role does digital infrastructure play in reducing a terminal’s carbon footprint?
The answer is simple: digital solutions and intelligent tires ensure the best efficiency for fleets and are the key to sustainable ports and operations. Continental’s port tire portfolio and solutions aim to effectively support port operators in dealing with the current megatrends in the industry.
TOC Europe took place from June 11 to 13, 2024, at the Ahoy Centre in Rotterdam.
Reliable tires: With our integrated product range of V.ply, radial and solid tires, we have the right tire for every application and can equip your entire fleet in the port. Get to know our TerminalMaster and DockMaster+ on-site and learn more about our comprehensive portfolio of port tires.
Its commitment to sustainability: Our goal is to be the most progressive tire company in terms of environmental and social responsibility. By equipping tires with sensors that monitor both tire pressure and temperature, our intelligent tires enable our customers to meet the CO2 emission targets of their fleets.
Its commitment to digitalization: We provide tailor-made and scalable digital solutions that are suitable for different applications. Visit our booth and find out more about the new Valve Cap Sensor, ContiConnect Lite and ContiConnect. This portfolio is unique to the port segment.
Introducing our Exhibits at TOC Europe 2024
DockMaster+
In the container yard, tough operations require even tougher tires. Continental’s solution: The DockMaster+. With its wide and smooth profile, this tire provides a stable load platform that reduces the pendulum movement of the container mast when stacking at higher levels. This results in increased efficiency by reducing the time required to align containers. Thanks to the slick pattern with extra high tread volume, this tire provides a long service live.
The DockMaster+ features Continental’s Port Plus Compound, which provides higher tensile strength for increased resistance to abrasion during tight turns in the spot, resulting in longer mileage and eliminate risk of tread cracks. Suitable for reach stackers, top loaders, empty container handlers and heavy forklifts primarily in pick and stack applications.
TerminalMaster
A heavy-duty and robust tire is essential for navigating the challenging conditions of port terminals, where the risk of tire damage and punctures is very high. The Continental TerminalMaster is designed for this type of heavy-duty application.
With an extra-deep tread profile and industrial-grade casing, the TerminalMaster provides much better damage protection and reliability than standard tires, ensuring maximum tire life and minimizing downtime. Its wear-resistant compound and wide outside shoulder ribs also reduce the effect of corner scrub, which improves mileage performance.
The TerminalMaster is designed for terminal tractors and trailers, making it the perfect tire for these vehicles in harsh environments.
ContiConnect
While moving containers, port tires are constantly exposed to intense working conditions and a harsh environment. This will inevitably lead to many operational risks, which can be easily mitigated with Continental’s digital tire management system ContiConnect.
All Continental radial port tires are pre-fitted with smart sensors, that transmit real-time data on temperature and air pressure to stand-alone or complete fleet monitoring solutions of your choice. If the tire pressure is too low or there is a risk of overheating, the driver or fleet manager will be notified in real time via e-mail, SMS or push notification. ContiConnect offers an easy, convenient way to connect multiple vehicles and helps fleet managers switch from inflexible manual service routines to targeted in-time maintenance.
ContiConnect Lite
Digital Solutions are crucial for optimized vehicle management in port terminals. With the new app version “ContiConnect Lite”, Continental has a new offer to experience the world of digital tire monitoring for free.
ContiConnect Lite helps fleet managers and drivers monitor the conditions of their tires. It requires no additional hardware other than our in-tire generation 2 sensor and a mobile device. Drivers or fleet managers can simply self-register via a Smartphone. They can then create and configure an unlimited number of vehicles, read out tire data via Bluetooth and get real time notifications about tire health. Thereby ContiConnect Lite creates a bridge between tire sensors and professional tire management. Digital tire management helps achieve maximum service life, which reduces the total cost of ownership and promotes sustainable use of materials in port operations.
Valve Cap Sensor
The Valve Cap Sensor is Continental’s new entry-level solution for digital tire management, offering fast and instant access into the world of ContiConnect.
The new sensor makes it possible to obtain accurate data of the tire pressure in a very timesaving, simple, and manufacturer-independent manner. This allows them to run optimally adjusted, which leads to greater fuel efficiency and a longer tire life. For installation, the sensor can be screwed directly onto the tire valve and therefore reduces the downtime for installation to a minimum. The sensor connects to ContiConnect receivers, and all collected and processed data is displayed in the ContiConnect web portal and On-Site app. If deviations from target conditions are detected, the user is notified by text message, e-mail or via the app. Scalability is simple and easy, regardless of the fleet size or application.
