Today days some systems can even sense tension, such as in a drive-off situation, and respond appropriately.
Features like remote start/stop capability, system monitoring, and temperature sensors and probes are also becoming more common. Diagnostics and alerts are also available as well. Things like configurable alerts, door status alarms, maintenance-due notifications, and utilization reporting make it even easier to capitalize on the energy efficiency and other benefits of electric standby reefers.
