The software company TIRETASK wants to digitalise and automate all manual work steps related to the care of tyres in large fleets and reduce costs in the fleet on the basis of the collected data. The company is aimed equally at tyre dealers, tyre service providers and fleet operators. Tyre data can be digitally recorded and the condition of the tyres documented via the TIRERTASK app. All data is then compiled, automatically processed and evaluated in the TIRETASK web application.

Translogik provides measuring devices that enable the quick and accurate measurement of tread depth and air pressure as well as the reading of the RIFD chips in the tyres. The devices are simply connected to the TIRETASK app via Bluetooth and enable fast and efficient tyre testing. The connection of the TLGX-Series leaves a lot of room for programming and makes it easy to add individual functions.

TIRETASK has succeeded in developing a software that digitally maps all work processes and is easy to use for everyone. With the help of the software and in combination with the TLGX-Series from Translogik, vehicles can be inspected much faster. Thanks to digital recording, there is transparency at a glance about the condition of all vehicles and tyres in the fleet. The evaluation of the collected data helps numerous fleets to significantly reduce their tyre wear and fuel consumption. In addition, future purchasing requirements can be forecast and punctures can be prevented for more safety in road traffic.

Fleetsense Tyre Management is a TMS which gives fleet owners the tools they need for in-house inventories and tyre intelligence. This system offers the option of implementing tamper-proof RFID technology as an added layer of secure tyre identification. RFID helps to minimise the labour involved with physical tyre inspections while greatly reducing the margin of error connected to manual data gathering.

Fleetsense makes use of Translogik’s RFID enabled tyre probes to ensure fast and reliable tyre inspections. Fleets can also use Fleetsense without RFID, in which case tyre locations and positions or visual serial numbers are used as primary identification. In this case we make use of the standard non-RFID enabled Translogik probes. These probes are used in conjunction with the Fleetsense mobile app which can be installed on any compatible Android mobile device. Translogik’s hardware greatly reduce tyre inspection times while increasing accuracy and ease of use.

When the Fleetsense mobile app is used in conjunction with a Translogik probe, tyre inspections can be done in automatic mode, allowing the user to measure tyre pressures and tread depths of multiple tyres with minimal interaction with the Fleetsense app. A tyre’s RFID tag is scanned, tread depths and pressure is measured, each successful measurement being followed by a beep and vibration on both the probe and mobile device to let the operator know that the data is sent and received correctly. Once the pressure reading is successfully received by the app it processes the ingested data and the user can identify and measure the next tyre without the need of interacting with the app. This method is a huge leap from the manual measurements and data entry we employed before switching over to Translogik probes.
