Every tire counts in the complex and interconnected global supply chains. Although Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) may seem insignificant, their influence is felt throughout the entire supply chain, from the extraction of raw materials to the last-mile delivery. Every cog in the supply chain wheel faces challenges that an effective TPMS will solve. Here's how our TPMS systems provide solutions no matter the place in the supply chain.
Mining vehicles trudge through rugged terrain, hauling precious raw materials. Tire integrity is non-negotiable—underinflated tires can derail operations and compromise safety.
The Doran 3600TR System is made for off-the-road operations and commercial equipment. It’s designed to withstand the extreme operating conditions of mining operations.
Trucking fleets crisscross continents, bridging supply gaps. But if a tire falters in the middle of nowhere it can hold up both ends of the supply chain.
Doran Connect 360™ is an advanced fleet management solution with integrated tire pressure and temperature data for your fleet.
Warehouses play a crucial role in managing the flow of goods. Any unexpected tire mishaps can disrupt the entire process and cause delays.
Doran 360™ Smartlink™ tire monitoring system is the most advanced monitoring system for truck and trailer “Drop & Hook” trucks and fleets.
Delivery vans maneuver through congested city streets, trying to reach their destinations within time limits. A punctured tire is not an option.
Doran 360HD ™ tire monitoring system provides the best value in TPMS systems for your trucks.
TPMS isn’t just about pressure—it’s about precision. It’s the lubricating oil that ensures goods flow seamlessly. So, whether you’re mining ore or delivering goods, remember: Properly inflated tires drive supply chain success.

Tire monitoring is a crucial aspect of fleet management, as it can help reduce tire-related operating expenses, increase equipment uptime, and improve vehicle safety. Traditional tire monitoring systems often rely on manual inspections, which can be time-consuming, inaccurate, and prone to human error. And, many tire monitoring systems lack the ability to provide real-time data and alerts to drivers and fleet managers, resulting in missed opportunities to prevent tire failures and optimize tire performance.
Doran TPMS Systems have been on the leading edge of technology in the space for years - with real-time data for drivers and easy-to-read displays. To continue to lead the way, Doran recently announced the integration of tire pressure and temperature data with Platform Science, a leading connected vehicle platform. Platform Science’s innovative transportation solutions make it simpler for fleets to develop, train drivers, deploy, and manage mobile devices and applications on commercial vehicles and fleets.
The Doran TPMS / Platform Science has updated features such as a driver interface mobile application with color-coded tire positions by current TPMS status, and real-time notifications including:
The updated integration also provides driver managers and fleet maintenance teams with real-time visibility on problem tires through email notifications of
This market-leading integration will help fleets continue to reduce tire-related repairs and maintenance costs and enhance the safety of their fleet operations. The integration is a perfect example of developing an innovative solution that makes a real impact on driver experience, truck performance, and fleet managers.
Doran will display and demonstrate tire monitoring systems, integrated with Platform Science, at the ATA’s Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition in March.

Staying on top of today’s technology trends can feel like you’re constantly playing a game of “catch up.” New technologies seem to be rolling out daily, and with limited time and capital to invest in new technology, it can be hard to determine where to focus. So how do you cut through the clutter and target the trends that matter the most to you?
Here are 3 technology trends that are here to stay, and their impact on tires:
As digital technology continues to evolve, there are more and more opportunities to make your truck or fleet “smart.” Most vehicles come off the production line with a standard digital technology package, but you have the opportunity to upgrade your trucks in additional ways.
Telematics continues to amplify fleets’ effectiveness by using GPS technology and diagnostics to monitor everything from route usage to fuel consumption and more. Adding telematics to your fleet means catching small problems before they become big problems and having the data at your fingertips to make decisions that keep your fleet running.
Doran 360™ tire monitoring systems are another perfect example of upgraded technology. Wireless tire pressure/temperature sensors installed on your tires, continuously provide real-time data to an easy-to-read display, improving your vehicle performance and driver satisfaction. And it integrates seamlessly with various telematics solutions.
Smart additions, such as these, to your trucks and fleet, means you are saving time on maintenance, avoiding unplanned equipment downtime , and saving money. These types of monitoring technologies are worth the investment and continue to improve.
As demand increases for trucking, mining, construction, and agriculture, companies are looking for sustainable ways to offset carbon footprints. Depending on your circumstances this can take many forms.
In addition to large-scale changes to focus on environmentally friendly solutions, you can also make small changes today. Investing in digital technologies such as telematics and tire monitoring systems improves the fuel efficiency of your vehicles. And staying on top of these fuel-efficient tactics will help reduce the carbon emissions of your fleet.
In an effort to save fuel, increase efficiencies, reduce carbon emissions, and have quieter vehicles (allowing deliveries at night and in low-emission areas), many companies are investing in electric vehicles.
When it comes to tires there are a couple of things to look out for when considering moving to electric vehicles. First is that electric vehicles have heavier batteries, putting more weight on your tires and therefore increasing wear, potentially shortening the lifespan of the tires. Secondly, the way that electric vehicles accelerate and decelerate is different, causing more torque on the tires in both situations. Added torque means that there can be slippage and more wear on the tires, even causing new tire wear patterns than traditional tires are made for.
This isn’t to say that the benefits of an electric vehicle don’t outweigh the costs for your use, but it will necessitate a tire monitoring system that can accurately monitor and give you real-time feedback on the health of your tires.
Doran 360™ tire monitoring systems are quick and easy to install, making it a seamless technological addition to your vehicle. Give us a call or send us a message, and tell us about the technical challenges facing your fleet. We'll provide a solution to increase effectiveness and make your fleet more profitable.
