TII KAMAG recently invited its European sales partners to its Partner Days at the Aprolis Iberia facility in Madrid. During the event, industry experts for intra-company transports from the TII Group provided information about current products, new developments and digital tools. Among other things, a number of recent innovations for the KAMAG PrecisionTractor (PT) and KAMAG PrecisionMover (PM) series were presented. In addition, the SPMT PowerHoss was showcased for the first time for use in yard logistics. IT applications such as the TII Partner Community Platform and KAMAG Connect provide decisive advantages for sales and service operations.
Only highly qualified sales partners are able to provide customers with comprehensive advice based on the vehicle manufacturer's knowledge and to support them before purchasing takes place as well as during the operational life of the vehicle. TII KAMAG’s Partner Days make a significant contribution to ensuring that European sales partners receive this know-how and expertise. This year, the event took place in mid-June in Madrid at the Spanish partner´s Aprolis Iberia facility where the products and digital solutions for yard logistics along with current business and market developments were presented. Furthermore, industry experts for in-house solutions from the TII Group presented the product developments planned for the next two years for the KAMAG PrecisionTractor (PT) terminal tractor and the KAMAG PrecisionMover (PM) swap body transporter series.
Market launch of KAMAG SPMT PowerHoss: in-house transports of up to 1,320 tonnes
One highlight of the Partner Days was the market launch and live presentation of the KAMAG SPMT PowerHoss. As the self-propelled transport modules of this series also offer customers great potential in internal transport operations, the TII Group will now also sell and promote the product under the TII KAMAG brand. The performance characteristics of the KAMAG SPMT PowerHoss are identical to those of the product range from TII SCHEUERLE, the industry expert for on and off-road heavy load transportation. These include the robust design of the pendulum axle chassis, electronic multi-directional steering with all well-known steering programs, integrated power pack and simple use in accordance with the plug-andplay principle. TII KAMAG offers SPMT PowerHoss versions with two, four and six axles for payloads of up to 330 tonnes per module. When coupled together, it is possible to manoeuvre sections weighing up to 1,320 tonnes.
New digital solutions: TII Partner Community ensures efficient processes in sales and service
Apart from the vehicles, the focus of the event was the live experience of digital solutions such as the demonstration of the partner platform TII Partner Community. It connects manufacturers, sales and service partners and provides them with essential information for sales, marketing and service of TII KAMAG transport solutions centrally. This includes technical data of the vehicles, prices and delivery times as well as automated warranty processes, knowledge databases and service histories. The experts from TII KAMAG also presented the company's own telematics system, KAMAG Connect, which is unique in its segment. Telematics significantly simplifies fleet and service management operations for all customers and improves the economic efficiency of the yard logistics fleet. Customers benefit from the range of digital services such as remote diagnosis, smart services, intelligent maintenance and condition monitoring. These make it possible, among other things, to direct the vehicle to the workshop for maintenance and repair work when it least interrupts work operations. KAMAG Connect is available for the KAMAG PT, KAMAG PM and KAMAG ePM.
Guest presentation: powerful diagnostic tool for Deutz engines
A guest presentation by DEUTZ AG, a company that also supplies TII KAMAG, provided insights into the current development activities in the classic and green segments as well as into the engine manufacturer's growing service organisation. In addition, the advantages of the DEUTZ diagnostic tool SerDia 4.0 were presented. The latest version of the diagnostic tool for Deutz engines enables service technicians to work quickly and efficiently with a wide range of inspection and test possibilities thanks to its practical approach.
Partner Days a complete success for TII KAMAG and partners
"The Partner Days were a complete success and have once again shown how important having a direct exchange of information with our sales partners really is," emphasised Jürgen Haupt, Head of Sales Yard Logistics at TII KAMAG. "Our goal is not only to introduce our partners to our latest products and digital solutions but also to provide them with the necessary knowledge and tools in order to provide the best possible support for our customers. The event in Madrid has therefore made a significant contribution to achieving this goal and making our joint processes even more efficient."
