Uptake, a leading data analytics provider for fleets and industrial machines, has unveiled its new Tire Insights tire management program. Designed to transform fleet maintenance and enhance vehicle safety, Tire Insights is a comprehensive suite of solutions that addresses the most pressing issues in tire management. Tires are:-
- A primary cause of roadside breakdowns.
- Accounting for over 50% of such incidents.
- Making efficient tire management crucial for fleet operations.
Key Features and Benefits of Tire Insights
Tire Insights is equipped with powerful features that significantly enhance fleet maintenance strategies. The product suite currently includes Tire Leak Insights and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System TPMS Insight, both designed to address critical tire-related issues.
Tire Leak Insights enable early detection of air pressure loss, allowing fleets to tackle potential problems before they escalate. By monitoring subtle pressure changes and alerting drivers and maintenance teams proactively, this tool helps prevent severe tire-related incidents, prolong tire life, and improve road safety. TPMS Insight, on the other hand, detects sensor anomalies that could lead to inaccurate pressure readings. Ensuring the reliability of pressure data is essential for timely interventions and maintaining tire integrity, making this feature indispensable for modern fleet operations.
Advanced Analytics for Early Detection and Maintenance
One of the standout aspects of Tire Insights is its use of advanced analytics. Uptake’s solution can detect tire-related issues, such as leaks, sensor malfunctions, and pressure drops, up to a month earlier than traditional systems. This early detection is achieved through the system’s ability to leverage asset and axle tire pressure baselines, identifying and addressing pain points before they escalate into severe safety concerns.
Uptake’s advanced analytics not only enhance safety but also improve operational efficiency. The company reports that Tire Insights can curtail significant failures by over 80%, reduce unsafe driving days by more than 90%, and improve fuel efficiency by 5%. These benefits contribute to lowering overall tire maintenance costs, which are often the highest expense in fleet management.
Uptake’s Commitment to Innovation and Safety
At Uptake, product innovation and excellence are paramount. The new Tire Insights program integrates seamlessly with existing tire pressure monitoring systems and leverages historical data to provide enhanced insights and significantly improve fleet maintenance strategies. “We have proven Tire Insights are actionable and substantially reduce the risk of tire failures and their associated costs,” says Brian Silva, director of data science at Uptake.
In addition to the tire monitoring solutions, Uptake has launched the Fleet Insight Assessment Dashboard. This new tool offers a granular analysis of fleet subsystem health, providing a high-level overview of insights produced by a fleet over the past 90 days. With the Dashboard, fleet managers can quickly identify potential pain points and make smarter decisions faster, ultimately empowering their maintenance teams.
