Bridgestone is showcasing its total tyre asset management solutions

Construction and aggregates tyre manufacturer Bridgestone is highlighting how the company is delivering innovative solutions beyond the tyre for total asset management, which are designed to help operators move more each day and reduce unplanned downtime.

Bridget Neal, president, OTR, U.S. and Canada, Bridgestone Americas Tyre Operations (BATO), said: “Today’s OTR [off-the-road] customers cannot afford downtime. They require increased productivity and reduced operating costs. This is a unique opportunity for us to showcase our innovative solutions that we believe will help our customers move more each day and lower their total cost of ownership.”

Bridgestone is demonstrating how the company is helping OTR customers move more than 1,000tonnes per second through its full suite of solutions. Tailored to the specific needs of construction and aggregate mining industries is the next generation Bridgestone PressureStat Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) solution. A prototype of the system, which features an improved sensor design, is being showcased this week ahead of its launch in Q4 2020.

PressureStat is designed to prevent tyre-related incidents in OTR tyres sizes 1.24m and below, which can help lead to more uptime and increased productivity on the jobsite. It enables automated communication about tyre pressure in real time to an entire network of stakeholders.

PressureStat is designed to integrate with TreadStat, the Bridgestone tyre and rim management system. Show attendees will see first-hand how the technologies work together to track tyre pressure, monitor the entire service life of a tyre, as well as unlock new insights for improved efficiency.

The Bridgestone booth features interactive displays to demonstrate the importance of having the right product for the job. The displays include a tyre display wall categorised by segment, demonstrating how each tread pattern is specifically designed for the intended application. In addition, the booth is showcasing the featured Bridgestone VRQP tyre, which provides maximum traction in quarry applications, and the Bridgestone VJT tyre, which is designed for enhanced cut resistance on the construction site.
