Advantage PressurePro, provider of the market-leading
PressurePro tyre pressure monitoring products and technology has announced a partnership with PeopleNet,
leading providers of internet-based on-board computing and mobile communications systems for the transportation
industry. The partnership enables PeopleNet to integrate PressurePro’s advanced tyre pressure monitoring capabilities
with its legacy systems beginning with its BLUTM in-cab PC.
PeopleNet’s vice-president of integration, Randy Boyles, explained, “As the first PeopleNet system with fully integrated
tyre pressure monitoring, the BLU in-cab PC will provide fleets with yet another tool for optimizing vehicle performance
efficiency with greater MPG, improved safety and lower maintenance costs. Partnerships with leaders in complimentary
technologies help us provide our customers with an increasingly comprehensive array of tools they need for minimising
cost drivers across their businesses.”
Utilising the PLC network for communication between the trailer and tractor, this integration will add tyre pressure monitoring to PeopleNet’s existing capabilities which include tracking, electronic onboard recording, vehicle and driver
performance management, automated driver workflow, electronic hours of service and more. In addition, it will add
trailer management capabilities. The enhancement will be available by the end of the second quarter.
“PeopleNet not only remains the leading mobile communications and on-board computing provider, they are consistently
known for their customer-driven innovation and leading-edge technology,” stated Phillip Zaroor, president and CEO of
PressurePro. “As pioneers of TPMS we couldn’t be happier to begin working with PeopleNet to add new capabilities,
including top-of-the-line tyre pressure monitoring, to their already advanced line of products.”
