Advantage PressurePro and TrackPoint Systems announced their partnership at the Technology & Maintenance Council Annual Meeting 2014. The alliance, formed to allow integration of the two technologies, sets the groundwork to launch the market’s first real time TPMS solutions for untethered trailers.
“Dispatching drivers to trailers that have moved location or have tires in need of repair can be time- consuming, costly and a nuisance to drivers,” said Alan Smith, president and chief executive officer of TrackPoint Systems. “By bringing together PressurePro’s wireless TPMS solutions with TrackPoint’s solar-powered untethered trailer tracking devices, we can alert fleet managers and dispatchers in real-time not only when a trailer is moved, but also if a specific tire is in need of repair—even when the trailer is not connected to vehicle power.”
