Daily management control reducing tyre wear, fuel use & manual labor by identifying under inflated tires and tread condition around the circumference to mitigate emissions.
About
WheelRight’s drive over system automatically measures and the records the pressure in a vehicle’s tyres. In addition it can assess the vehicle’s weight, load distribution, and tyre temperature. The system is connected to an automatic number plate recognition camera so the data can be assigned to the correct vehicle and transmitted by SMS to the driver or to the fleet engineer or fleet management system. What Wheelright Does And Why? We believe our solution looks set to revolutionise tyre management across the globe given its advantages over traditional tyre pressure monitoring practices. On a moving vehicle the tyres are the only contact with the ground, they transmit both driving and braking forces to the ground and grip the road when cornering. Under-inflated tyres put strain on the sidewalls, increase the rolling resistance and increase the wear rate, whilst over-inflated tyres reduce the contact with the road, wear the centre of the tread and reduce breaking efficiency. Correctly Inflated Tyres are Important. Optional features that may be configured are: - Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) which checks the load on each axle and the entire vehicle - Tyre/wheel temperature, for pressure compensation and to identify overheating caused by a possible binding brake or failing bearing - Tyre tread condition around the circumference of the tyre checks for tread depth and damage such as cuts or nails.
Key Benefits
WheelRight makes monitoring simple “Just Drive Over” as often as you wish. One system will measure all the vehicles on a site from day one. There is nothing to fit to the vehicle. Its simple, vehicles are identified by reading the numberplate as they approach the sensor plates on the ground and within seconds the data has been processed and sent to the WheelRight “Cloud” server where information on known vehicles is compared to the database and a report is generated comparing the actual and the recommended pressures. For all other vehicles WheelRight reports the recorded pressures for each tyre that has driven over and that includes multiple axles and multiple wheels on each axle.
