Who Uses LogicNets at Thermo King?
Phil Lee, Manager of Technical Communications for the Thermo King Corporation. While the Ingersoll Rand Company Limited now has more than 15 individual projects completed or in progress with us, Phil and his team pioneered the use of LogicNets in Thermo King, a unit of Ingersoll Rand.

What Did He Build?
The Return On Investment (ROI) calculator for the TriPac Auxiliary Idle Reduction and Temperature Management System. This online tool helps customers understand the financial benefits of using the TriPac system, which allows truckers to eliminate unnecessary idling and save money while providing engine preheating, battery charging, climate control, and power in truck cabs.

Using the TriPac Calculator, customers enter their information to find out the annual cost of their idling, what that cost would be with TriPac, what their annual savings would be, and how long it would take for the TriPac system to pay for itself. Customers can generate a detailed report for either a single tractor or an entire fleet, showing fuel usage, maintenance, and operating cost comparisons. They can also request a quote from a dealer, get product literature, and read customer testimonials.

What Ingersoll Rand Is Saying
Ingersoll-Rand and Thermo King are very pleased with the TriPac calculator. They now use LogicNets for both internal and external applications. For example, they've translated detailed process manuals into online applications that can be updated, expanded, and made available to all employees quickly and easily. And they've created detailed technical troubleshooting applications.
