As a fleet manager, ensuring your vehicles' safety, efficiency, and longevity is essential. Tire health is one critical aspect that often goes unnoticed but significantly impacts overall performance. But with remote tire monitoring systems (TPMS), you can change the game for your fleet. Here are the benefits of these remote systems and why they’re crucial for keeping your fleet’s tires in top shape.

Tire Health

Before we get into the specifics of remote monitoring TPMS, let’s remind ourselves why tire health is critical for your fleet:

• Safety: Properly inflated tires reduce the risk of accidents, keeping your drivers and trucks safe. Underinflated tires can lead to blowouts, decreased traction, and compromised handling.
• Fuel Efficiency: Well-maintained tires improve fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires cause increased rolling resistance, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
• Cost Savings: Regular tire maintenance extends their lifespan, reducing replacement costs. Additionally, preventing breakdowns and accidents saves on emergency services and downtime, making you more profitable with each haul.

How Remote Tire Monitoring Works

Remote tire monitoring provides real-time data on tire pressure and temperature. Here’s how it works:

1. Sensors: TPMS sensors are mounted on the stem valve of each tire. These sensors wirelessly communicate with a central gateway installed in the vehicle.
2. Gateway Integration: The TPMS Gateway integrates seamlessly with your fleet management system. It uploads tire data, along with other telematics, to your system, and it offers multiple receiving options, including in-cabin, tablet, reports, emails, and Bluetooth capabilities. 
3. Real-Time Insights: Fleet managers, maintenance personnel, and drivers can access tire information anytime, anywhere. Whether a vehicle is stationary or moving, you’ll receive alerts for underinflated or overinflated tires, temperature changes, and critical events. 

Benefits of Remote Tire Monitoring 

The features and benefits of our remote monitoring system Doran Connect 360™ will save you time and money again and again. It’s simple installation and integration is the fastest way to get your fleet rolling safely and with your eyes on it at all times. 

Proactive Maintenance

Real-time data allows proactive maintenance. Address issues promptly, reducing the risk of breakdowns and accidents. Particularly when the Doran Connect 360™ system is designed to handle extreme conditions to ensure your fleet performs on the road. 

Fuel Efficiency

Properly inflated tires optimize fuel efficiency. Remote tire monitoring helps you identify and rectify pressure imbalances promptly, lowering fuel consumption and costs for your fleet. 

Extended Tire Lifespan

Longer tire life means fewer replacements. Well-maintained tires last longer, improving your return on investment. And reduced wear and tear means more miles before replacement. Doran Connect 360™ improves access to TPMS historical data and also improves your analytic capabilities to make more informed decisions about tire wear and tear. 

Real-Time Alerts

Receive alerts for low tire pressure and high tire temperature events. Swift action can help prevent accidents and costly breakdowns. When rapid changes in pressure are detected, unexpected roadside stops can be avoided. Automated real-time reporting customized to your needs means the information is where you are at all times. Whether it's in cabin, email, reports, or tablet - you have the information you need at your fingertips.
