Phillips Connect Technologies (PCT), a strategic business unit of Phillips Industries, has partnered with Pressure Systems International (PSI) to provide telematics solutions for PSI’s Automatic Tire Inflation System and TireView products.
According to the companies, this combined solution offers a first-of-its-kind capability to remotely pre-check the lights and tires on a parked trailer or chassis. This avoids the potential for dry runs before a tractor arrives, saving fuel and driver hours.
“The ability to proactively pre-check the status of a transportation asset remotely from any device connected to the internet is an absolute game-changer in terms of operational efficiency,” says Cliff Creech, business development manager, intermodal, PCT.
Phillips Connect Technologies provides telematics solutions for trailers, chassis, and containers that add fully integrated cargo and health monitoring (lights, brakes, and tires) to real-time GPS tracking. These telematics solutions give fleet managers the information they need to turn their assets faster and maximize driver productivity, the companies say.
Pressure Systems International is the global leader in automatic tire inflation for trailers. Earlier this year, it also announced the addition of TireView tire pressure and temperature monitoring (TPMS) for all vehicles, including trucks and tractors.
