tapa monitoring

TAPA TSR1

Cargo crime is omnipresent and offences are numerous. Especially in the area of refrigerated transport, valuable cargo - e.g. from the pharmaceutical sector - needs to be protected. If necessary, have goods transported and monitored in accordance with the Trucking Security Requirements (TSR) of the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA). 
With the new TAPA mode in the TrailerConnect® portal, you receive predefined and relevant TAPA security messages at a shortened reporting interval.

Overview of the TAPA-relevant messages: 
o Door lock activated / deactivated
o Trailer coupled / uncoupled
o Alarm system activated / deactivated
o Coupling status
o Movement status
o And many more 

All functions are included in the new TAPA TSR1 telematics tariff.
