New Trimble TirePulse tyre monitoring system
Trimble recently introduced the Trimble? TirePulse? tyre monitoring system to assist fleet managers in reducing maintenance costs, increasing overall fleet productivity and promoting site safety. Part of the Trimble Connected Site? portfolio, the advanced machine monitoring solution wirelessly reports tire temperature and pressure data from the jobsite to theVisionLink? fleet, asset and site productivity management solution from Trimble. Automatic, real-time tire pressure and high-temperature alerts help fleet managers and site supervisors schedule cost-effective tire maintenance, extend the life of tires, increase fuel efficiency and avoid dangerous blowouts. Trimble TirePulse can improve the life of a tire while also reducing the need for fleet managers to drive to the site and visually inspect inflation, tire wear and temperature. Using a Trimble TP920 industrial tyre sensor in the tire valve stem and a Trimble SNM940 Connected Site Gateway for communications, the information is automatically relayed back to the office for analysis by the fleet manager. Accurate data is communicated through VisionLink, so the fleet manager can proactively manage tyre maintenance of more machines across construction sites. Better maintenance can result in improved fleet costs.
