Smart TPMS

Overview

SGT Smart TPMS is a wireless tyre-pressure and temperature monitoring system for trucks, buses, trailers and off-road vehicles. Compact valve-stem or band-mount sensors broadcast live PSI and tyre-temperature to an in-cab head unit and to the fleet cloud, while a slow-leak detector catches gradual loss long before the driver feels it on the wheel.

Under-inflation is the single largest cause of premature tyre wear, blowouts and fuel-economy loss in commercial fleets. Smart TPMS pays for itself through reduced tyre replacement, fewer roadside callouts, and 3–5% measurable fuel savings — while making every blowout and every slow leak a managed event instead of a roadside emergency.

• Per-wheel PSI + temperature — every position, every minute, on every axle
• Slow-leak detector — slope analysis over a 15-minute window catches losses of 0.3 PSI/min
• Cab buzzer + warn light — driver knows within seconds, not at the next stop
• Fleet roll-up — manager sees all vehicles, all axles, all alarms in one dashboard

How It Works

1. Valve Sensors — replace the standard valve cap (or band-mount inside the wheel) on each tyre. Each sensor wakes every 30 seconds, samples pressure + temperature, and broadcasts an encrypted RF/BLE packet. Battery life 5–7 years sealed.
2. Receiver + Algorithm — in-cab receiver pairs to all sensors, drives the head-unit display, runs the slow-leak slope detector and high-temperature heuristic locally, and fires the buzzer and warning light when thresholds trip.
3. Fleet Cloud — every reading is uplinked over LTE (or relayed via your existing telematics gateway). The cloud computes per-vehicle health scores, ranks workshops by region, and reports fuel-savings YTD.
4. Driver / Manager Alerts — push to driver phone, push to fleet manager, and an automatic SMS to the nearest workshop with the tyre size and recommended replacement.

Features

• External (valve-cap) or internal (band-mount) sensor options per axle
• Slow-leak detector — flags a leak from a slope of −0.3 PSI/min before pressure drops below the static threshold
• High-temperature alarm — bearing-overheat / brake-drag detection (per-tyre temperature exceeding ambient by > 25 °C)
• Trailer pairing — auto-detects connected trailer sensors when the trailer is hooked up
• Sensor anti-theft — locking sleeve, pairing locked to vehicle VIN
• Fuel-savings report — measured MPG delta vs baseline period, per vehicle and fleet-wide
• Workshop integration — auto-SMS to the geographically nearest partner workshop with tyre size and recommended part
• OTA firmware — head-unit and sensor firmware update over the air

Use Cases

• Long-haul trucking — blowout prevention, fuel-economy gains, tyre-life extension
• Bus & coach fleets — passenger safety, scheduled-route reliability
• Trailer / chassis pools — sensors travel with the trailer, auto-pair when hooked to any tractor
• Mining & quarry trucks — extreme load + heat operation, blowouts cost six figures
• Refrigerated transport — door-open and PSI together protect the cold chain
• Off-road & agricultural — large-diameter tyres where visual inspection misses early loss
