Michelin has launched Michelin® MEMS Lite, its newest offer in connected tires for surface mining and quarry vehicles. MICHELIN MEMS Lite is an entry-level tire MEMS solution that combines Michelin’s proven liquid-proof sensors to deliver periodic tire pressure and temperature readings. Tire sensors are mounted inside the tires, where data is captured periodically as vehicles drive by fixed reading stations strategically located at the mine site. The data is then sent remotely to connected devices through a local server or secure cloud server.
“As part of Michelin Better Mining, we strive to provide the mining industry with innovative services and solutions, beyond the tire, that add value for users,” said Hugo Morales, Mining MEMS business development manager. “We designed this new entry-
level MEMS offer to meet the needs of customers who want to start using a TPMS with basic features to improve their operations. We found that miner’s running 100 – 150-ton trucks were looking for a simple, robust plug-and- play solution with alerts sent to their mobile devices should an issue arise, which will be supported by a trusted technical network.”
