The next big milestone on a digital journey begins. Read more to see how sensors are used on tyres.
The digital transformation of heavy tyres makes a huge difference for everyday driving as well as fleet management. Nokian Tyres introduced the Intuitu smart tyres in Agritechnica 2019 fair in Hannover last November. Now Intuitu will be available for selected agricultural and contracting tractor tyres, with sales starting from Finland.
In its current phase, Nokian Tyres Intuitu consists of sensor-equipped smart tyres and a mobile application. All you have to do is order the smart tyres and download the app to get going. The smart tyres are registered in the Intuitu application, which shows the tyre position and pressure as well as temperature data for all vehicles with smart tyres. In the app, the fleet owner can invite as many drivers and vehicles as needed. This means the driver can stay up to date and get alerts on the currently used vehicle, while the fleet manager can look at the big picture and get the most out of tyres and machinery. Also, the machine manufacturers will benefit from a plug & play smart tyre solution and the increased customer commitment it brings. What’s more, the Intuitu registration extends the tyre warranty.
The Intuitu smart tyre solution has been comprehensively tested and has already become an important part of the test users daily work. Nokian Tyres Intuitu smart tyre sales are starting gradually, first in Finland with the four flagship Nokian Tyres tractor tyres – Nokian Ground King, Nokian TRI 2, Nokian Hakkapeliitta TRI and Nokian Tractor King. The factory will start shipping orders in September, and the Intuitu application will be available for download at the same time.
While the current Intuitu features will already change the way tyres are used, there is more to come. For example, tread depth measurement and integrating Nokian Tyres Intuitu with the machine’s own operating software are in development. Source
