Halo Connect i3, launched earlier this year, is the latest generation of Aperia’s automatic tire inflation and monitoring technology for heavy- and medium-duty commercial trucks and trailers.
The system’s new tread diagnostics suite forecasts tire wear and provides proactive service recommendations based on analysis of tire tread depth data.
Tire-related issues are responsible for a significant number of accidents and vehicle downtime, Dimenna said.
“Most of that’s due to chronic underinflation,” he said. “We solve that with a combination of keeping the tires properly inflated, and now, giving them alerts on which tires they need to go check the next time that truck comes in for service.”
These diagnostic capabilities also help fleets optimize their retread programs and get the full value out of their tires.
