Looking Ahead
Among the major topics that are repeatedly at the center of discussions are which types of propulsion will shape the future of the logistics industry. Closely linked to this are new digital developments in computer technology, which can lead to more reliable supply chains. Significant changes will result from considerations regarding necessary infrastructure measures. The logistics of tomorrow — that much is already certain — will operate differently and, above all, react more quickly. Ideas will be implemented faster. This also applies to the often-overlooked, smaller aspects of everyday logistics, for which sliding tarpaulin cover systems, with their high-performance tarpaulin materials, play a crucial role.
Concentrated Technological Expertise
There is no doubt that without modern tarpaulin cover technology, like that successfully deployed by Edscha TS on trucks, the management of logistical processes would be far less flexible and cost-effective. When tarpaulin cover systems are designed to protect and secure the transported goods, they require highly complex technology to fulfill these tasks. From this perspective, Edscha TS tarpaulin cover technology is a control component that enables much more than just the handling of covers.
Weatherproof
Covers are meant to protect against external influences (rain, snow, wind, etc.) and are therefore usually made from weather-resistant PVC tarpaulins, but in the future, they may also be made from sustainable and pure-grade PPT. Covers have long been tasked with protecting trucks from cargo theft. Steel wires, and more recently, digital alarm systems are integrated into the tarpaulins, which sound an alarm whenever someone tampers with the cover. Another interesting development in the field of tarpaulin systems is the utilization of solar energy. In the future, the question will arise as to whether the amount of energy generated this way will be sufficient to power a vehicle in regional or local transport. The idea of using the cover surfaces for LED-based advertising is also not far off.
Conclusion
Looking ahead, there are still many possibilities for Edscha TS sliding tarpaulin cover systems.
