Grote Industries has announced that it will introduce the Guardian Smart Trailer System, designed to monitor a trailer’s lighting system and alert an operator to any status changes through the telematics system, at the North American Commercial Vehicle Show in Atlanta.

The Guardian Smart Trailer System attaches to any type of light, LED or incandescent, and gives drivers real-time alerts about their trailer lighting systems, communicating light outages and electrical shorts, logging information on status changes, and providing data analysis tools.

The system communicates in two ways: It can be connected through the trailer’s telematics system, or via Bluetooth to the operator’s Apple or Android device through Grote’s Guardian Smart Trailer System app.

The Guardian Smart Trailer System will be introduced at NACV, taking place from Sept. 25 to 28 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
