OTR, PSI to bring TPMS technology to off-road tires

OTR Engineered Solutions (OTR) and Pressure Systems International (PSI), a supplier of tire inflation systems, have partnered to bring tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) to the off-road market. OTR will offer PSI’s TireView system in its full line of pneumatic tire and wheel assemblies to monitor tire pressures and provide telematics. OTR will also be an integrator of this technology for OEM customers, helping manufacturers implement the product into their equipment offerings.

PSI’s TireView offering includes sensors that detect pressure and temperature in each tire. Real-time data can be viewed on an optional in-cab display, through a smartphone app, or integrated into the dash of the vehicle, allowing drivers to verify correct inflation and overall tire health, with alerts for quickly identifying potential issues. Additionally, telematics capabilities allow fleet managers and rental centers to view tire and location data remotely through the TireView LIVE portal for tracking their vehicle assets and monitoring tires. Installation and setup are simple, thanks to plug-and-play functionality.

“PSI recognizes OTR as a leading innovator when it comes to off-the-road tire and wheel technologies and is proud to partner with them to offer TireView’s TPMS sensors to their customer base. Real-time tire pressure and temperature alerts are important for vehicles of all types and configurations, and with the addition of TireView LIVE telematics, OTR and P.S.I. can now offer a fleet-wide solution for tire management,” said Craig Smith, vice president Marketing and Communications, PSI. It is a Clarience Technologies company with headquarters and manufacturing in San Antonio, Texas.

OTR said the collaboration creates synergies between its expertise in the off-road tire market and PSI’s leadership in the on-highway segment. “OTR is excited to announce our relationship with PSI in the off-highway space,” said Ben Brown, global vice president of OEM Sales & Marketing for OTR, based in Rome, Ga. “PSI is an industry leader and expert in TPMS technology. Pairing that with OTR’s robust tire design, wheel manufacturing, and mounting capabilities creates added value for our customers.”
