Safe Transportation of Hazardous Chemicals with TPMS

Introduction

Transporting hazardous chemicals requires adherence to strict safety regulations to protect human health and the environment. One critical aspect of this safety protocol is ensuring that the tires on the vehicles used to transport these chemicals are maintained at the correct pressure levels. Underinflated tires can lead to tire failure, causing accidents, chemical spills, and environmental contamination.

Challenges

One of the most significant challenges the company faced in the transportation of hazardous chemicals was the risk of accidents caused by underinflated tires.

In addition, manual tire pressure monitoring was a time-consuming process, especially for large fleets of vehicles. Moreover, the transportation of hazardous chemicals often involved long distances, which was causing significant wear and tear on the tires.

Solution

To address these challenges, the company adopted our tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) to automatically track tire pressure in real time. 

  • Our TPMS software used sensors installed inside each tire to measure the pressure and temperature of the air inside the tire. The data collected by the sensors is sent wirelessly to a central monitoring system, which can be accessed remotely by maintenance staff or other relevant personnel.
  • Our software detects that a tire is losing pressure or the temperature of the tire is fluctuating, it sends an alert to the fleet manager in real-time, allowing them to take corrective action before a serious problem occurs. 
  • With the help of our TPMS software, companies ensured that their vehicles are operating with properly inflated tires, reducing the risk of accidents and chemical spills.
  • The software generated reports on tire pressure and performance, allowing companies to identify patterns and trends that could indicate issues with their vehicles or routes.
  • This data helped companies to optimize their fleet operations, reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs.
