How TPMS Improves the Global Supply Chain

September 18, 2024

For a global supply chain to function as smoothly as possible, every link matters. From shipping ports to long-haul trucking routes, maintaining optimal tire pressure is crucial. Tire pressure & temperature monitoring systems (TPMS) are the link that ensures wheels keep turning efficiently. Let’s explore how TPMS impacts supply chains worldwide.

Digging Deeper: Mining Equipment

Mining operations thrive on precision and productivity. Yet, mines operate in unforgiving conditions—rocky terrain, extreme weather, and heavy loads. Tire failures disrupt production, endanger workers, and cost valuable time.

Mining trucks, loaders, and excavators bear immense weight. Tire blowouts can halt operations, leading to costly downtime and safety risks. TPMS equips mining vehicles with real-time visibility on tire pressure & tire temperature issues. Early warnings prevent tire blowouts, enhance stability, and boost productivity. Imagine fewer unscheduled stops and more material extracted. The benefits of an Off-The-Road TPMS such as Doran 3600TR™ TPMS include:

Smooth Seas: Shipping Ports

Massive cargo ships dock at bustling ports, awaiting their turn. Time is money, and delays ripple through the supply chain.

Port vehicles—cranes, forklifts, and transport trucks—handle cargo swiftly. Tire issues disrupt the flow, affecting schedules and profitability. TPMS monitors tire pressure & tire temperature in real-time. Properly inflated tires mean faster cargo handling, reduced downtime, and fewer accidents. Imagine streamlined operations and satisfied clients. Benefits of utilizing Doran 360™ TPMS at shipping ports include:

Miles of Efficiency: Trucking

Long-haul trucks crisscross continents, hauling goods. Tire blowouts or underinflated tires lead to breakdowns, missed deadlines, and safety risks.

Truckers face unpredictable road conditions. Tire failures disrupt schedules, impact fuel efficiency, and compromise safety. TPMS alerts drivers instantly when pressure deviates. Real-time data prevents tire failures, optimizes fuel efficiency, and extends tire lifespan. Imagine smoother journeys and fewer roadside emergencies. The benefits of a monitoring system such as Doran 360HD(™) TPMS and 360SL Smartlink include:

On-Time: Final Mile

The final mile—the journey from distribution centers to customers’ doorsteps—is critical. Delays here affect customer satisfaction and brand reputation.

Delivery services operate under tight schedules. Tire issues lead to missed deadlines and unhappy clients. TPMS ensures that delivery trucks have properly inflated tires. Imagine fewer delays, on-time deliveries, and satisfied customers. 


TPMS isn’t just about pressure—it’s about precision. As supply chains evolve, TPMS becomes a non-negotiable partner. From port terminals to remote mines, it ensures that wheels keep rolling, goods keep flowing, and economies keep thriving.
