TMS’ new Tire Pressure Monitoring System
TMS has launched a new Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) specifically aimed at industrial and Off-the-Road (OTR) vehicles. The new TPMS is designed to address the needs of vehicles used in mining, earthmoving, mobile cranes, container ports, and mass-transit systems.
The benefits of investing in TPMS technology for industrial and OTR vehicles are well documented, with huge cost, safety, and sustainability advantages for businesses. Technical advancements have been added to all areas of the TMS system, including the Hub, Display, App and Sensors. The system will work on any vehicle of any size, right up to 24 wheels. To guarantee the most resilient signal reception possible, the new TMS Hub boasts four separate antennas, connected to four independent receiver channels. This ensures the tyre pressure data will always be received even in the most extreme environments.
Streamlined wiring in the TPMS simplifies installation, saving time and resources for fleet operators. The improved display has a larger screen whilst being more compact, so taking up less cab space and providing the driver with clear and quick tyre pressure checks on the new user-friendly touchscreen. The driver is immediately warned of any tyre running outside of your own defined parameters. All the tyre data is stored in the central Hub for later analysis and is made available via the API for connection to third party software platforms.
Launched alongside the TPMS is the Web App, which allows users to access all system settings and tyre data from their Smartphone, tablet or Windows PC. The app is used to both configure the TPMS system and to store and analyse tyre pressure and temperature data from a single vehicle to a whole fleet.
The app includes sophisticated summarising and visualising techniques to enable users to quickly highlight issues with tyre pressure and/or temperature. Custom reports can easily be created to summarise tyre issues. The app can even operate without internet connectivity, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring even in remote locations. Security is handled by the well protected browsers.
