Our team has been hard at work building the next solution to be added to the OneView platform. The new OneView tire pressure monitoring solution combines the powerful Doran 360™ tire pressure monitoring system with the OneView platform. This integration allows you to view tire pressure readings remotely, which enables a dispatcher to ensure their fleet’s tires are properly inflated. This can help prolong the life of the tires and improve fuel economy.
Did you know that fuel efficiency improves by as much as 3.3 percent when tires are properly inflated, according to the U.S. Department of Energy? For a company managing a fleet of 20 semis, this equates to 13,530 gallons or about $50,000 annually in saved fuel. Additionally, having appropriate air pressure in tires can help reduce maintenance costs from blowouts and re-treading tires.
Let’s take a closer look at the tire pressure monitoring solution:
The tire pressure monitoring system provides customers with deeper visibility into their operations. Tires are one of the top expenses for equipment/trucks and operating with underinflated tires will decrease tire life at the very least and usually leads to downtime.
“Adopting Doran tire pressure monitoring systems has proven to reduce tire-related repair and maintenance expenses for a number of fleets around the country,” said Jim Samocki, General Manager for Doran Manufacturing. “The capability to have remote visibility to tires with low pressure allows fleets to proactively address those tires, which helps to improve tread life, improve casing quality and minimize roadside repair calls from catastrophic tire failures.”
