Nexxiot Unveils Kingpin Monitor Remote Control To Dramatically Improve Safety And Speed Of Semitrailer Loading
First of its kind device allows operators to remotely ensure precise loading of semitrailers onto railcars, improving terminal operations
As cargo terminal operators around the world race to overcome supply chain bottlenecks, TradeTech pioneer Nexxiot has unveiled a new remote control that helps speed the loading of semitrailers onto railcars to improve the precision and safety of complex intermodal shipping operations.
Nexxiot’s Kingpin Monitor is recognized as the industry’s go-to technology for ensuring proper loading of semitrailers. The Kingpin sensor detects whether the kingpin is engaged and whether the hitch status is open or locked. It provides real-time visibility on the status of semitrailer loading for both on-site operations via LED light indicators and for other stakeholders via the Nexxiot Connect Intelligent Cloud.

Now, with the introduction of remote capabilities, crane operators are equipped with a digital assistant. This means they receive accurate, real-time indications on loading status for better safety and efficiency, which reduces the possibility of human error. Nexxiot’s Remote Kingpin Monitor is not intended to replace human operators but rather assist them to improve efficiency and prevent possible catastrophic accidents.

The deployment of Nexxiot’s Kingpin Monitor remote control has been initiated through the company’s ongoing collaboration with one of Europe’s leading working group of terminal operators, Agora Intermodal Terminals. Agora represents a significant share of central European cargo handling volume across Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, and welcomes this contribution to the transfer of digitization from the railcar to the Terminal.
“Speed is a critical performance indicator in today’s complex shipping industry, but it must not be prioritized at the detriment of safety. Agora Intermodal is committed to this objective which makes them the ideal partner for the rollout of this technology,” explained Nexxiot’s CEO Stefan Kalmund. “Kingpin Monitor’s new remote capabilities prioritize safety by helping operators reduce critical mistakes and speed up loading operations even in adverse weather conditions.”
