TPMS or a tyre pressure monitoring system is used on manned and autonomous machines to ensure tyre pressure and temperature stays within operational specifications.
Tyre pressures are affected by temperature and temperature in turn affects pressure. Pressure is what carries the load on a truck and the tyres and rims are the vessel that contains the pressure. If the pressure is too low, the sidewall flexes resulting in increased temperatures.
TyreSense uses actual data from the internal tyre sensor readings to determine when corrective action is required. Studies demonstrate a stronger correlation between the tyre chamber temperature and the belt temperature than the TKPH model. Find out more about TPMS versus TKPH.
Already the world’s most advanced and trusted TPMS, we are pleased to announce the release of TyreSense 4.0 with new features and improved functionality.
The video above provides an overview of the features of TyreSense, a system for monitoring tyre pressure and other related metrics. It includes various components such as wheel sensors, in-cab display, handheld device, inflation station, Magmount and TyreSense Sensor Install Tool.
One of the key benefits of the TyreSense system is its patented diaphragm sensor which can withstand extreme conditions and liquid additives while remaining accurate to within 2 psi. The in-cab display provides real-time alerts for the operator with a high-resolution touchscreen display. The handheld device is portable and includes accurate cold-inflation feature with Bluetooth range up to 300 feet.
The Inflation Station helps reduce tyre inflation time and exposure to hazardous areas for tyre handlers while also increasing productivity through automated inflation.
TyreSense Connectivity offers cellular and ethernet networking for real-time vehicle monitoring with high-powered Bluetooth radio receivers that connect to tablets and handhelds within 300 feet. It supports cellular and mesh LAN connectivity and can easily integrate with all major fleet management systems.
TyreSense Client 4.0 provides precision real-time load cycle progress indicators for each vehicle in your fleet with colour-coded icons to instantly identify specific vehicle events along with customisable geofencing capabilities that help identify no-go zones for trucks or custom alerts for each geo-fence zone.
Overall, TyreSense offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring tyre pressure efficiently while improving safety and productivity across various industries.
We have now had TyreSense operational in the business for approximately four months and have seen lots of cost and safety advantages in our fleet. I cannot disclose exact costings but can say that the cost to implement the system on sixteen 930E haul trucks and four 777 water carts was paid back within three and a half months just by utilising the trucks more efficiently and as an effect increasing the overall availability.
The total elapsed time from the initial incident to restored service was just two hours. TyreSense and a quick-acting contractor preserved an expensive loader tyre and minimised valuable down time.
…all of our large rear dump trucks and loaders are fitted with TyreSense which has proven to be a very reliable system that gives good information and allows us to track tyre performance, extend tyre life and monitor circuit conditions.
Analysis of standard maintenance and service tasks on the wheels revealed an impressive 43% time-saving for the RIMEX DGS/IGLR series. As well, the results of the testing pronounced RIMEX wheels 18% more efficient overall.
…if a truck is worth $1,200 to $1,500 per hour in operation, then the cost savings are approximately $1 million. Investing in the TyreSense TPMS quickly recoups its cost and realises considerable savings into the future.
The mine tyre manager then turned to his RIMEX representative, who proposed an innovative solution to narrow the stock wheels. This strategy was agreed upon, and within three weeks the new wheels were delivered to the mine, at a dramatically lower cost of $19,966.00 per truck!
