(also: fuel container) serves the transport of liquids and gases. A fuel container is usually divided into several sections inside, to prevent excessive self-movement of the contents during transport. This type of containers is particularly suitable, for example, for dangerous goods or transport of liquid foodstuffs.

is a composite term of telecommunications and informatics (computer science). In logistics, telecommunications solutions with software-driven solutions for order management, inventory control, electronic documentation, tracking, data transmission and much more are used to optimize the productivity in transportation.

Telematics boxes are robust hardware accessories for data transmission. With the help of the small boxes, data from a container, a swap body or from the truck can be transmitted to the headquarters. This includes fuel consumption data, temperature values, positions and more. The information collected in this way can be used for statistics and process automation. With the help of telematics boxes, it is also possible, for example, to automatically process the entry and exit bookings of swap bodies and trailers.

TIS GmbH offers different telematics boxes for different purposes in their portfolio.

Interfaces describe necessary data fields with unique designations, field lengths and properties. The uniform definition of data fields enables a free exchange of data between different applications. For example, current vehicle positions can be transferred from a telematics system to a forwarding software and displayed there on a map.
Access to a joint interface saves software and system houses their own programming and thus shortens project development times. Also, development costs can be reduced in this way.

TIS GmbH provides an extensive telematics interface with a free open source license on www.telematicsinterface.com.
It is already in use by several manufacturers to ensure a trouble-free flow of data between transport management and telematics systems.

Knowledge and experience from around 20 years of development work and numerous IT projects for the logistics industry have been incorporated into the XML interface published by TIS GmbH.

In telematics webinars, TIS GmbH informs interested parties and users in short units about useful features of the TISLOG logistics software and other topics from the field of telematics.

Telemetry is the transmission of sensor measurements to a remote location. This telemetric receiver gathers measurements and can also record or analyze data immediately.

Telemetry is the wireless transmission of measured values, for example by cellular radio. In logistics, for example, vehicle data, such as fuel consumption are digitally recorded and transmitted via telemetry to computer systems that evaluate them. The creation of the FMS standard opened the reading of telemetry data from the CAN bus of the vehicle to others. Previously this was reserved for vehicle manufacturers.
TIS has developed the telematicbox Truck to read telemetry data in the truck. Information about the product can be found here.

A terminal emulation is a software that maps the functionality of a terminal and enables interacting with a text-based program via a graphical interface.

It should first be noted that both terms have several things in common: Both roaming and handover originate from the field of communications technology. Moreover both technologies are based on the same technology.

If, for example, you are using your mobile telephone, you will most likely have frequently experienced both phenomena - without having been aware of it. Even though roaming and handover is also used with other devices than a mobile phone (for example WLAN telephone) and in other networks other than mobile radio networks, (for example: WLAN network within a company), the simplest way to explain the terms is by using mobile phones in connection with mobile radio networks as an example.

If you have entered into a contract with a German mobile communications provider (for example with T-Mobile or Vodafone), you are still able to use your mobile phone outside of the country. Regardless, if you are on vacation in Spain, France, or Switzerland – thanks to roaming you can use your mobile phone in other countries as if you were at home. To provide this service, your mobile communications provider in Germany entered into a so-called roaming agreement with foreign providers, both providers connect their respective networks with the required signalization and data connections of that of their counterpart. With roaming you can use your mobile phone by accessing a foreign mobile communications network (international roaming). Such agreements not only exist between providers located in different countries, but also between providers within the same country. For example o2 has its own mobile communications network; it does however not cover the entire country. For this reason o2 entered into a roaming agreement with T-Mobile, if the o2 network is not available in rural areas (national roaming), the o2 customer is automatically connected to the T-D1-Network.

Handover, on the other hand, does refer to a process between two communication networks; it refers to a phenomenon within a network. A mobile communication network consists of many cell towers and base stations. Each base station covers a specific area - the so-called cell. Your mobile phone checks into the nearest base station. If you are on the road with your mobile phone and you are moving from location A to location B, you may be leaving the original cell and you are approaching another cell's area. Your telephone i.e. data connection will not be interrupted during the transition from one cell to the next, because with the help of handover your phone checks into a different base station, this is processed in the background, without you noticing it. A handover is not only required when a mobile phone is moving from place to place and base station to base station. For example, mobile phones can check into a different base station, if a cell is overloaded or the reception quality is low. The handover can also happen in other communication networks: The GSM mobile communications network base station is the AccessPoint for your WLAN and/or DECT network.

Thermal direct printing

In thermal direct printing, a special paper is blackened by heat and imprinted this way.
Apart from the paper or label roll, no further consumables (ink, toner, etc.) are required. However, the prints are sensitive to heat and light and may fade after some time.

The direct thermal printing process is therefore used primarily for prints that are only temporarily in use. In trade and transport logistics, this is usually the case with tickets, shipping labels or receipts.
In our portfolio you will find high-quality, robust industrial printers from different manufacturers.
TISWARE industrial printers.

Thermal transfer printing

In thermal transfer printing, ink is melted and bonded to the paper by use of heat.
These prints are more durable than thermal direct printing, are also possible in color and possible on a variety of materials.

This printing method is more expensive and more material-intensive than direct thermal printing, and is therefore used above all for long-lasting prints, such as for example for food labeling, quality control or device labeling.

In our TISWARE portfolio you will find various industrial printers for every need.

is comprised of all of the processing steps involved in the tracing of moving objects.

Tracking is nowadays offered by almost all mail and parcel services and groupage freight forwarders to their customers. The customer can track the route and whereabouts of his shipments and is informed about the expected arrival. Shipment tracking involves specifically the proof of delivery with digital signature and time stamp. The mobile telematics software TISLOG enables optimum shipment tracking.

In the trade logistics, there are a variety of flows of goods and heterogeneous goods structures that are handled by vehicles or services of the providers on various load carriers. A pre-routing to the appropriate logistics products (CEP, general cargo, cargo) is required.
The loading scanning is system supported. Until the shipment arrives at the receiver, reliable information on status and GPS positions of the goods must be available. Ability to provide information and time window control are key features for a high quality of delivery. PODs must be quickly available. The quality management in trading requires dedicated data about time windows and loading equipment. In the course of growing e-commerce also a slim return shipment management is gaining importance. TISLOG and TISLOG office are valuable tools for mobile intelligence on the road and in the last mile area. Systems of many telematics providers can be integrated to ensure a complete overview of all flows of goods.

in transport logistics refers to crossing a country with goods, which are neither unloaded nor transhipped in this country. Sender and receiver are located outside of the country. This process is particularly interesting in terms of customs duties: If the crossing of a country is only a transit, no customs duties on the goods transported must be paid.

At this point the delivery costs for the transportation of goods transfer from the seller to the buyer. This trade term is generally agreed in writing in business transactions between two parties. This is interesting, for example, for overseas transports, in which the sender usually bears the cost up to the destination port. There the additional costs of transporting the goods transfer to the responsibility consignee’s company.

Transponders are wireless mini modules. Passive transponders are known from RFID technology. They are used to identify goods or are components of access control systems. TIS uses active transponders (these require a power supply or battery) for the identification of a scanners in Intralogistics. They are then used to localize the devices in buildings. Mobile data terminals usually are not factory-equipped with such tracking options. These are therefore often retrofitted. The experts at TIS have developed special housings to integrate transponders in various mobile data terminals through a simple snap-on mechanism. The transponders are then powered by the device.
