International Telematics (ITC) and Advantage
PressurePro, worldwide leaders in telematics and tire pressure monitoring systems respectively, are proud to
announce their partnership and subsequent integrated TPMS / telematics solution to fleet markets worldwide. The
integrated systems will allow users to receive tire pressure alerts both in-cab through ITC’s ibright® user interface and remote to an office or smart phone. In addition to the new TPMS capabilities, the systems will offer ibright’s full range of telematics capabilities as well as allow tire pressure and temperature alert levels to be configured for specific vehicles, groups of vehicles or tire sets.
ITC, headquartered in New York City, produces the unique ibright vehicle and trailer telematics system for both private and public fleets. The ibright system is specifically designed to meet the needs of a wide range of market segments, including refrigerated transport, and supports a broad array of functionality and sources of potential return for users.
“Making the PressurePro TPMS capabilities available through our advanced telematic platform adds a further important component of functionality and economic return for our customers, which is central to the design philosophy of the ibright system,” stated Andrew Sutherland, CEO of ITC. “At a time when fleet managers are increasingly concerned about fuel costs and the safety of their remote assets, as well as tire-related costs, we are delighted to be able to provide our customers with the ability to manage these aspects of their operations in partnership with a tire pressure system of the quality of PressurePro.”
The unique architecture of the ibright telematic system brings substantial computing power to the vehicle. This
vehicle-based processing power, together with substantial connectivity and communication options (GPRS, WiFi,
Bluetooth, Ethernet), has substantial advantages in terms of accuracy, flexibility and breadth of functionality. Driver performance and g-forces can be monitored and alerted from the tractor, truck or trailer and users can also select from a wide range of optional features including hours of service, driver vehicle inspection reports, wireless temperature, humidity, door and other sensors, pulp temperature sensors, two-way control and remote start / stop reefer capability, tire pressure sensors, power take off (PTO) monitoring, engine status and diagnostics, and others.
The ibright system is also notable for the ease with which it can be efficiently integrated with dispatch, scheduling, maintenance and other back end systems.
“We are pleased to add another prestigious member to the PressurePro family of integrated TPMS options, and are
thrilled to add our tire pressure monitoring capabilities to the ibright system’s already impressive range of
functionality,” stated Vanessa Zaroor, director of marketing for PressurePro. “Together, we provide a very complete monitoring and management system that assists fleets of all types in reaping significant additions to safety, savings, efficiency and production.”
The integrated solution will be on display at TMC’s 2011 Annual Meeting, at booth #1450.
