PressureTech™ - Intelligence In Motion
WIXOM, MI… AKTV8 launches PressureTech™, a new wireless sensor platform specifically designed for the demanding and rugged commercial vehicle market to enable real-time monitoring of critical vehicle systems. For the past 10 years, the company has specialized in developing air control systems for the automotive and heavy truck industries. PressureTech™ includes BT wireless tire pressure and load monitoring sensors, with mobile App and telemetry connectivity in one easy to install and configure system. Customers can purchase either sensor solution or combine them to deliver the best value. Critical alerts like tire blowout and axle overloading can be configured for both driver and fleet command center.
Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors (TPMS) are available in two configurations: Thru and Cap. The Thru sensor is screwed onto the existing Schrader tire valve and air can be added without removing the sensor. Low profile, lightweight Cap sensors attach to Schrader stems but do not include inflate-thru capability. This configuration is optimal for automatic tire inflation systems by attaching to the available check port on the hoses. System alerts drivers and fleet command via email to tire under or over pressure, over temperature - providing real-time alerts.
On-Board scales or load monitoring system includes Suspension Pressure Monitor Sensor and durable “Tee” fitting to allow easy installation by splicing into the air suspension air line. Both 3/8” and 1/2” Tee fittings are included in the kit. Tractor-trailers will need two kits, one for the tractor and another for the trailer. Once the system is calibrated over scales, it automatically detects and reports axle loading and unloading events and can be configured for lift axles as well. Over-load alerts can be configured for driver and fleet command - providing real-time alerts.
A Range Extender module can be added to increase wireless range from back of a trailer to the truck. A Gateway module will launch soon to connect PressureTech to telematics systems and enable an external diagnostic LED to visually alert drivers to vehicle Issues.
All systems are designed for ease of installation and the batteries will last over 2 years and can be replaced. All products are designed to withstand the rigors of use on heavy-duty trucks. Using the free PressureTech mobile App, Sensors can be configured quickly by scanning the laser etched QR code on the sensor’s top. The App provides real-time alerts and can be set up to send email notifications to the driver or fleet command- improving vehicle safety and compliance, enabling preventive maintenance and keeping trucks on the road - Increasing Uptime!
Increase confidence in your vehicle operating safely and in-compliance - with tire pressure and load monitoring and critical alerts. Prevent overweight fines and costly road-side repairs with the PressureTech™ Monitoring System. For more information, or to order, go to www.AKTV8.com/pressuretech or call 888-342-3162.
