Grote Industries has partnered with Stoneridge to incorporate its rearview camera into the 4See Smart Trailer System.

The wired rearview camera is now in production and Grote claims it’s the first to connect through the standard J560 7-way connector to enable video from the back of the trailer to a video display in the cab with virtually no latency.

“Innovation is part of our DNA,” said Dominic Grote, CEO and president of Grote Industries. “And since safety is a key tenet of our vision, applying that skill to designing a system that improves safety for both fleets and everyone on the road is a natural outcome for us.”

Grote’s 4See Smart Trailer System is designed to integrate new smart technologies from component suppliers, connecting all modules on the trailer via the 4See digital harness and allowing all nodes to communicate through a single harness system. The 4See nose box integrates all component data from the trailer, allowing it to be transmitted to the driver, cloud, or third-party telematics supplier.

It can be spec’d on dry vans, reefers and now flatbed trailers.
