New ContiConnect Lite App Offers Gateway into Digital Tire Management for OTR Applications
Since this year, Continental has been delivering its off-the-road (OTR) radial tires with a Bluetooth-enabled sensor ex factory. “Digital tire management contributes to greater safety, efficiency and sustainability, especially in the areas of earthmoving, agriculture, and at ports,” said Martijn Oosterbaan, head of Product Management at Continental Specialty Tires. Thanks to a Bluetooth-enabled sensor, the tire data can be read directly via smartphone. ContiConnect Lite requires no additional hardware other than the Gen2 tire sensor and a mobile device. “Our offering is suited to smaller fleet customers, such as those at recycling centers, asphalt mixing plants and container handling facilities,” added Mr. Oosterbaan. “Drivers or fleet managers simply self-register themselves via Smartphone. They can then modify the vehicle and connect their vehicles via Bluetooth with the sensor inside the tire and access a limited version of the ContiConnect App. In total, 3 users can be registered free of charge. If there is a change in tire pressure or temperature, drivers are immediately informed via push notification.” With its factory-installed Gen2-sensors in specialty tires, Continental continues to drive forward the digitalization of fleets. For example, its EM-Master and LD-master product lines are available for construction machines and loaders, its ContainerMaster Radial product line for large forklifts and reach stackers in port terminal operations, and its VF TractorMaster Hybrid for tractors. Digital tire management helps to achieve maximum service life, which reduces the total cost of ownership and promotes sustainable use of materials. Founded in 1871, Continental offers safe, efficient, intelligent and affordable solutions for vehicles, machines, traffic and transportation.
