Further monitoring revealed the tire pressure was
gradually decreasing.
The truck was sent to maintenance for repair where a
slow leak was discovered.
Outcome
Utilizing MEMS, the monitor was able to spot
the pending failure of the front left tire.
The quick response by control room and maintenance
avoided the replacement of the tire, thus reducing
downtime and costs.

MEMS in real life

MEMS is a fantastic tool for us.
We have incorporated it within our strategic alliance with
Michelin TK*. It’s a tool that allows me to ensure the safety
of workers whose job is to inspect the tire. It gives me
remote temperature and pressure data that allows me to
improve the truck’s productivity.

The system was monitoring MEMS when an alarm appeared
for the front left tire reading low pressure (6.6 bars = 95 psi).
*TK (Ton Kilometer) is a service package where Michelin manages the tire from cradle to grave, including recycling.
The service is invoiced per quantity of earth moved.

TRUE OR FALSE ?
detailed Analysis and reports
• Capable of building reports showing pressure
and temperature behavior of individual tires
over their life.
• The tire pressure maintenance is of little importance to mine productivity.
.
False Tire pressure greatly affects tire performance which is a key factor
in vehicle availability.
• Setting tire pressures without taking into account the internal air temperature
has no significant effect on tire life.
The ultimate PDA for MEMS!
.
False Tire pressure can change up to 2 bar (29 psi) with temperature variations.
Over or under inflation by 1 bar (14,5 psi) can reduce tire life by 15%.
• Remote tire pressure and temperature checking reduces safety risk.
.
*Tire Pressure Monitoring System
True
A low pressure can lead to structural degradation of the tire and ultimately
a rapid deflation. Remote pressure-checking avoids the need for maintenance staff to
be close to the tire.
In conjunction with Michelin’s tire expertise, MEMS defines both relative
and/or absolute alarm levels (amber and red) for pressure and for temperature.
IN-CAB DISPLAY
• Monitor real-time alarms directly by the driver.
