OTR Teams With PSI on Tire Monitoring Tech
A new partnership will offer tire pressure monitoring technology to the off-road market.
Tire maker OTR Engineered Solutions will provide Pressure Systems International’s (PSI) TireView monitoring system in its full line of pneumatic tire and wheel assemblies to monitor tire pressure and provide telematics.
The TireView offering includes sensors that detect pressure and temperature in each tire. Real-time data can be viewed on an optional in-cab display, through a smartphone app, or integrated into the dash of the vehicle, allowing drivers to verify correct inflation and overall tire health, with alerts for quickly identifying potential issues.
Additionally, telematics capabilities allow fleet managers and rental centers to view tire and location data remotely through the TireView Live portal for tracking their vehicle assets and monitoring tires. Installation and setup are simple, PSI says, thanks to plug-and-play functionality.
