Innovative solution: wireless camera system for exceptional transport
Pleasant co-creation between Jan Kees Boer transport and Rietveld.
Jan Kees Boer transport is specialized in special, exceptional, open and wide transport.
For this, good visibility for drivers is extremely important.
Without good visibility there is a greater chance of damage.
Damages to the means of transport are annoying enough, but damages to the customer’s cargo are even worse.
The driver may have to return with the freight and the transport may have been for nothing.
Long claims procedures, repair of damages and settlement of claims follow afterwards, costing a lot of time and money.
If the loads also have all kinds of permits attached, claims can quickly run into the thousands of euros.
This is something we would like to avoid.
Drivers’ wish: Flexible application for additional visibility through wireless cameras
Jan Kees Boer, director: “The demand for additional visibility came particularly from our drivers.
We employ true professionals with a passion.
Because we work with trailers and regularly with oversized loads work, a wireless solution is the only possibility.
In fact, a different camera angle is desirable for each type of cargo.
As a result, we started looking for a supplier that offers wireless cameras on trucks that can be displayed in different ways.
That’s how we ended up with Rietveld.”
Frank Kanters, product specialist at Rietveld:
“We like customization to fulfill wishes and love challenges. Together with Jan Kees Boer transport, we started looking for cameras linked to a transmitter that transmits a wireless signal to the receiver. The receiver displays the images from the cameras on the monitor in the cab. One receiver can even receive images from 4 cameras with transmitter.”
Flexible mounting and robust housing
Paul Verboom, Workshop Manager of Jan Kees Boer Transport: “Now that we had found this solution via Rietveld, it was another challenge for us to ensure that the cameras with transmitters can be very easily attached to any trailer by our drivers.
For this purpose, we have developed a robust housing with magnets.
In the housing we can conceal the transmitter and the cables.
We take the power from the plug for the lighting of the width boards and we attach the cameras themselves to the trailer with strong magnets.
An ideal solution, even if we say so ourselves.
Excellent from the testing phase
Jan Kees Boer: We had our most critical driver test this system during a trip to Italy. He came back very enthusiastic. The camera system is from Camos. We are very satisfied with the image quality and the strength of the reception of the transmitters. The big advantage is that multiple transmitters can be connected to 1 receiver. The screens are very easy to hide in the din compartments. The design is good and the size fits perfectly in our Scania trucks. And when we drive without landing, some drivers even use the camera as an extra front camera. A bonus offered by the flexibility of the system.”
Collaboration with Rietveld
Jan Kees Boer: The cooperation with Rietveld went very well from the beginning.
They immediately thought along with us and found it a challenge to look for a solution together with us.
Every other system we had tried before didn’t work well.
Even though the prices are not exactly cheap, we prefer to purchase something that works well.
As a company we stand for quality, not only for our customers but also for our drivers.
With us, these are real professionals and they are also well-trained on technical matters so that when there are problems on the road, they can solve most of them directly themselves.
That is why we like to send them on the road with excellent quality equipment.
