BANF Leading the Way

Recently, we heard about how BANF’s tire sensing profile technology promotes and provides a high level of safety. In this article, we’ll focus on another strength of BANF’s tire sensing technology which is fuel efficiency, we’ll also take a peek at some other perks of BANF’s technology.

Vehicle motion analysis

A crucial aspect of BANF’s comprehensive tire sensing is that of vehicle motion. To be specific, this includes wheel alignment, tilt and tire pressure. As the vehicle is in motion these aspects can change and impact fuel efficiency and BANF’s system can fully monitor these and notify the client as to the appropriate changes that should be made to help reach an optimal level of operation. In addition, the vehicle’s weight is also measured carefully. A further aspect of this is the measurement of the wear and tear of the tire’s side thread. Overall, these vehicle motion criteria can provide a wealth of data that can greatly enhance fuel efficiency and provide a potential savings in fuel of 10-15%.

Tire Innovation

The tire industry as a whole hasn't seen a lot of innovation in the last 100 years and BANF has been trying to change this. The majority of the leading tire manufacturers have attempted, or are in the process of, to improve and develop tire sensors such as BANF's. So far, BANF is ahead of the pack as far as tire profile sensing is concerned. The image posted above shows the vital areas of tire sensing technology development and the progress of all the global players. BANF has overcome the majority of the obvious obstacles and has established a high-quality tire sensing system that fleet operators can look to and rely on.

Labor and Driver Shortages

A simple Internet search will provide a wealth of data and statistics that show not only a consistent driver shortage but overall labor shortage within the US market. Autonomous vehicles, including trucks, will slowly make a dent in these shortages. In a hub-to-hub system the long-haul portions will be performed by the autonomous driving system while the 'last mile' will be handled by a human driver allowing drivers to work more regular hours close to home. BANF's technology can make this hub-to-hub system even more efficient by allowing tires to be more effectively maintained. The safety factor also comes into play by ensuring the autonomous roads of the future are as safe as possible.

Autonomous Deliveries

In recent news, leading autonomous vehicle companies are partnering with delivery companies in yet another smart use of autonomous technology. This is also another slice of the automotive industry where BANF's technology can provide a valuable service. Especially the road surface condition based on wear and tear and also the weather would be a significant asset for autonomous delivery vehicles. Again, safety is paramount, even more so in an urban setting where deliveries will be taking place. As the autonomous vehicle industry expands our technology stands ready to make this expansion smooth, safe and cost-efficient.
