The performance of your fleet’s tyres plays a crucial role in ensuring safety, controlling costs, increasing sustainability, and enhancing overall operational efficiency. As such, to boost profitability and reliability, investing in a comprehensive approach to tyre maintenance and management is essential.
At MICHELIN Connected Fleet, our optimised tyre performance solution incorporates leading technology with expert tyre management to keep your fleet running at its best. In this article, we explore its features and the ways in which it delivers lasting value.
How Optimised Tyre Performance Works
Real-Time Tyre Monitoring
At the centre of optimised tyre performance is real-time monitoring, which continuously tracks vital parameters, including tyre pressure, temperature, and tread depth. In-tyre sensors collect this data and transmit it instantly to a central platform, giving fleet managers immediate and total visibility over the condition of every tyre in the fleet.
Predictive Analytics
Although a key part, optimised fleet tyre performance goes beyond monitoring by leveraging predictive analytics. Combining historical data with the real-time insights it provides, the system uses advanced algorithms to identify wear patterns, anticipate potential failures, and recommend optimal replacement schedules.
Proactive Alerts
To allow for corrective action, the system automatically generates alerts for the range of critical tyre issues it can detect, including under- or over-inflation, elevated temperature, abnormal wear patterns, and possible punctures. Via the dashboard, fleet managers have ready access to these actionable insights alongside detailed reports.
The Benefits of Optimised Tyre Performance
1. Reduced Downtime
Since the system detects tyre problems before they escalate, it enables maintenance to be planned in advance, as opposed to reacting to unexpected failures. This significantly reduces the risk of unplanned downtime like breakdowns, keeping vehicles on the road and fleet operations going smoothly.
2. Extended Tyre Lifespan
By continuously monitoring tyre pressure and identifying uneven wear patterns early, the system extends the service life of tyres. Predictive fleet tyre maintenance prevents unnecessary deterioration and premature replacements, maximising the value of each tyre.
3. Lower Operational Costs
Optimised tyre performance reduces operational costs by minimising the need for emergency repairs and roadside call-outs. Additionally, with better visibility into tyre conditions, fleet managers can plan procurement more dynamically, avoiding overstocking or last-minute replacements.
4. Enhanced Driver Safety
Through maintaining tyres in top condition at all times, the system decreases the risk of dangerous incidents such as blowouts, tread separation, or pressure-related failures. In turn, contributing to safer driving as well as compliance with safety regulations and fleet vehicle check standards.
5. Improved Fuel Efficiency
Having the right tyre pressure reduces rolling resistance, one of the main culprits of excess fuel consumption. Therefore, by ensuring tyres remain at optimal pressure levels, the system improves fleet fuel efficiency, ultimately leading to substantial cost savings over time.
6. Increased Sustainability
Optimised tyre performance directly supports fleet decarbonisation by lowering fuel usage and eliminating tyre waste. By decreasing carbon emissions and extending tyre life, the system minimises environmental impact. This not only helps with greener operations but also makes it easier for organisations to meet their ESG objectives.
Integrate Optimised Tyre Performance Into Your Existing Workflow
Our optimised tyre performance solution is designed for seamless integration with our fleet management software, consolidating tyre data within a single platform. This means that it becomes a core component of your wider fleet maintenance strategy, offering a more holistic view of vehicle health and performance.
Rather than adding to administrative workload, the system lessens it by automating routine processes and removing the necessity of manual tyre checks - freeing up staff so that they can focus on higher-value tasks.
MICHELIN Connected Fleet’s optimised tyre performance solution is more than just tyre monitoring, it’s a tool made for modern fleet management. With data analytics, predictive algorithms, and streamlined software integration, our solution empowers fleets to control costs, heighten sustainability, and increase safety across their operations.
