Pressure Systems International's Craig Smith says when Goodyear was looking for a tire pressure monitoring system partner, they came to P.S.I. For a few years now, the company has been working with the tiremaker on their sensors and user interface.
Now, it's public knoweldge. Smith, the vice president of marketing and communication at P.S.I., announced the partnership on Sunday at the American Trucking Association's Technology & Maintenance Council meeting in New Orleans.
"It's not another gadget," Smith says. "It's a tire management program."
TireView LIVE is P.S.I.'s data analytics solution that delivers proactive tire management information, such as air leaks, tire pressure and temperature. There are more than 2.2 million P.S.I. sensors in the marketplace that collect around 7 million data points every day.

"It's a one-stop-shop for all the information for your fleet," Smith says. It provides filters by location and alerts, and assets are color-coded to show what level of attention they need. It's also available on a mobile app that lets users receive over-the-air updates and add or change sensors at the vehicle.
And because, Smith says, "we like to play well with others," TireView LIVE is also available through Geotab.
Kellie Taube, vice president of global sales for P.S.I., says Geotab is a way of amalgamating telematics data points for a fleet. Geotab GO plugs into a truck and delivers engine and other information, including tires with P.S.I.'s TireView LIVE. The plug-and-play device communicates a truck's telematics data into the cloud through an open API so that other companies can decipher the information and deliver it in a more palatable format.
