KEEP IT ROLLING
Blowouts, roadside calls, and premature tire wear don’t just eat into your maintenance budget, they can bring your entire fleet to a halt. For many fleets, tires are the single largest maintenance cost, and one of the most preventable.
One regional carrier was losing thousands each month to emergency road calls. Drivers often left the yard with under-inflated or overheated tires, unaware of the risk, and breakdowns followed.
Continuous monitoring helps prevent unexpected tire-related breakdowns.
Optimized pressure and early alerts keep tires performing at their best for longer.
Proactive maintenance reduces expensive roadside service events.
TOOLS TO PREVENT DOWNTIME
From tire pressure sensors to advanced gateways and technician tools, Phillips Connect technology delivers the data you need to prevent failures, extend tire life, and keep your fleet moving.
Continuously monitor tire pressure and temperature. Instant alerts flag slow leaks, punctures, or heat buildup before they cause a roadside failure.
Aggregates tire health data into one intuitive dashboard. Provides predictive analytics and prescriptive alerts to help fleets schedule maintenance before issues turn into downtime.
Puts live trailer and tire health data in a technician’s hands. Enables quick diagnostics and efficient service to get equipment back on the road faster.
Monitoring, maintenance, and integration
Real-time tire pressure monitoring gives fleets immediate alerts for slow leaks, underinflation, or overheating. Acting on these alerts early helps prevent blowouts and unplanned roadside service events.
You’ll receive instant notifications for issues like low pressure, rapid pressure loss, and high tire temperature. Alerts can be sent directly to the driver via our DriverAssist app, as well as on the Connect1 platform.
Yes – by keeping tires at optimal pressure and catching small issues early, fleets reduce uneven wear and avoid running on under-inflated tires. Over time, this translates into longer-lasting tires and lower costs.
Fleet trailer tire health monitoring is a comprehensive system that uses sensors (often part of a Tire Pressure Monitoring System – TPMS) and data analytics to continuously track the critical health metrics of every tire on a trailer. It goes beyond simple pressure alerts to monitor temperature, pressure trends, and wear patterns, providing a complete picture of tire condition to prevent failures and optimize performance.
The system acts as an early warning system to prevent small problems from becoming big failures. Instead of waiting for a tire to fail catastrophically on the road, the monitoring system provides proactive alerts. It can notify a driver or fleet manager of a gradual pressure loss from a slow leak, or a rising temperature caused by an under-inflated tire flexing too much. This advanced notice allows for the issue to be addressed at the next safe stop or during planned maintenance, effectively preventing the majority of heat-induced blowouts before they can occur.
There is no single answer, as tire life is highly variable. While manufacturers may provide a mileage or year estimate (e.g., 5-7 years), actual life is determined by inflation pressure, load weight, road conditions, alignment and mechanical issues, and driving habits.
A tire health monitoring system directly addresses these factors, helping to maximize the tire’s potential lifespan by ensuring it operates under ideal conditions.
