New ways to help your trucks maintain the proper tire pressure

摘要

As evidenced by all the new tire inflation offerings at this year's North American Commercial Vehicle (NACV) show back in October, new technology is allowing fleets to keep a closer eye on tire pressure. Let's take a look at some of tire pressure telematics offerings that aim to help trucking companies get the most ROI out of theirtires. Pressure Systems International (P.S.I.) introduced TireView Live, a data analytics platform for tires, at NACV. The company says the platform gives a fleet the ability to view top-level system status on ATIS operation, tire pressure and temperature and provides real-time reporting. "Understanding the full story of what your tires are doing allows fleets to plan both maintenance and equipment utilization, better and faster" says Jim Sharkey, vice president of global sales and marketing for P.S.I. The platform is designed to integrate with one or more TireView sensors, which can unlock all kinds of different data from both truck and trailer tires. For example, the'company's Digital ThermAlert wheel-end sensor, scheduled for a mid-2020 launch, can provide data on a tire's highest temperature reached and when a temperature issue first began.
