The Top 5 considerations for?OTR?&?Industrial?operators when purchasing a connected 24/7 TPMS solution for your fleet.?Gary Brierley?outlines a few things to consider.
Our ATLAS system is known for its reliability, innovative technology, ease of use, and affordability, which ensures a rapid return on investment.
Based on Industry feedback, we have identified the top five criteria for a connected OTR and Industrial tyre TPMS solution that will help in any decision-making process:
- Real-time tyre pressure and temperature monitoring:?OTR & Industrial, (IND) tyre users require a connected 24/7 TPMS solution that provides real-time monitoring of tyre pressure and temperature. This is essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of the vehicles and equipment that rely on these tyres. ?It’s perfect for obtaining cold pressure readings too. Why? because the air inside the tyre expands as it heats up. As a result, if you check the tyre pressure when the tyre is hot, you may get a higher reading than the actual pressure.
- Predictive maintenance alerts:?OTR/IND tyre users need a connected 24/7 TPMS solution that can provide predictive maintenance alerts. This will enable them to schedule maintenance before a potential issue turns into a major problem, reducing the likelihood of costly downtime and repairs. Two recent conversations with operators stick out for me. One had a call out break down tyre service bill in the UK of ￡2000 for his mobile crane. The other in the US, an $8,000 a day loss in productivity when waiting for an OTR tyre to be replaced by his tyre service provider. These examples highlight the importance of proper tyre maintenance and management in industrial and commercial settings.
- Customisable alerts:?OTR/IND tyre users require a connected 24/7 TPMS solution that allows them to set customisable alerts based on their specific needs. For example, they may want to receive alerts when tyre pressure drops below a certain level or when a tyre temperature exceeds a certain threshold.
- Easy to install and use:?OTR/IND tyre users require a connected 24/7 TPMS solution that is easy to install and use. Ideally, the solution should be designed to work with all wide range of OTR/IND tyres, vehicles, machines and be user-friendly, even for those with little technical knowledge. The system should be able to be fitted, even whilst the operator is on their lunch break! Ideally between thirty minutes and one-hour dependant on the machine.
- Data analysis and reporting:?OTR/IND tyre users require a connected 24/7 TPMS solution that provides data analysis and reporting capabilities. This will enable them to identify trends, monitor performance, and make informed decisions about maintenance and replacement.
