MICHELIN MEMS LITE: MINING TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

Tire sensors are fitted inside each tyre – either by using the “MEMS-ready” feature in MICHELIN tyres or a retrofit patch for tyres smaller than 49” or non-MICHELIN^® tyres. When vehicles drive by fixed reading stations strategically installed at the mine site, the fixed reading station captures the data and then transmits it to a local or cloud-based server. There is no hardware installed on your vehicles.

No, not at all. MICHELIN MEMS LITE is a simple, affordable TPMS that is an ideal option for any size fleet to start to measure tire pressure and temperature remotely and periodically. This reliable, easy-to-operate TPMS helps strengthen safety, save on budget and increase productivity at your mine sites.

MICHELIN MEMS LITE operates through tire sensors and fixed reading stations. One fixed reading station is enough as long as it is strategically positioned at your mine site. You can extend the performance of your MICHELIN MEMS LITE system by adding more reading stations to capture data from more MEMS LITE-equipped vehicles that drive by. There is no hardware installation required on trucks. The tire sensors work automatically with fixed reading stations.

MICHELIN MEMS LITE uses Michelin’s proven MEMS tire sensors that are long-lasting and liquid-proof, compatible with tire liquid additives. Thanks to the “Sensor Age Advice” feature, you can use it to its max life. The sensors emit each minute in 433MHz radio frequency; it extends to 16 seconds during the 15-minute inflation period. For the range emition, the fixed reading stations can capture tyre sensor data from up to 100 meters / yards with a clear line of sight.

Yes, when the data is captured at reading stations, it is transmitted to a local or cloud server and easily accessible by mine personnel from any laptop, tablet or smart phone. You also can extract the raw data.

We can propose solutions for purchasing or leasing the solution.

Yes, Michelin launched the industry’s first TPMS for surface mining in 2006. In its fourth generation, it is the best-selling TPMS on the market. We have used this 15 years of experience to launch this newest offer in our family of TPMS – MICHELIN MEMS LITE. We are confident in the traceability and reliability of the data.

MICHELIN MEMS LITE is easily upgradable to MICHELIN MEMS 4 by adding hardware (a transceiver) to your trucks that upgrades from periodically capturing data to continuous readings among other features. Click here to learn more about the added functionality of MICHELIN MEMS 4.
