Fleet tyre inspection tool launched by ATS Euromaster 16 May 2013
ATS Euromaster is introducing an updated electronic tyre inspection tool for its van and truck fleet customers.
The company believes the new device will "radically improve speed and accuracy when recording the condition and wear of approximately 250,000 tyres monthly".
ATS Euromaster is the first company within the Euromaster Group to roll out FleetSure, which comprises a handheld PDA, an electronic tread depth gauge, accurate to within 0.1mm, and an electronic tyre pressure gauge.
Bluetooth is used to send readings from the two gauges to the handheld device, removing almost any possibility of inaccuracy, and enabling faster and more precise tyre inspections across commercial vehicle fleets.
Previously, tread depth readings were taken using a standard tread depth gauge before manually inputting the readings into an electronic handheld device.
This new technology brings multiple benefits given the number of inspections that take place during hours where daylight is limited or in adverse weather conditions.
Once synched with the PDA, data is sent via a 3G connection to ATS's servers, automatically notifying the local centre and the customer immediately of the inspection details and any remedial service work required.
"When you consider our experienced fleet inspectors check the tyres on more than 50,000 vehicles and trailers each month, a tool that allows us to speed up the process, whilst improving accuracy, is a fantastic resource to be investing in," says David Bull, service quality manager – group operations at ATS Euromaster.
The tool will also allow ATS Euromaster to produce detailed tyre pressure reports, something that has previously only been available as a separate service offering to the customer, at an extra cost.
