Tires and associated service costs make up
the second largest expense in a fleet's budget. Tire-Track allows you to identify the
specific reason a tire needs to be serviced and record that service into the tire's
history. |

Tracking performance is an essential part
of ensuring maximum tire life. Tracking means following a tire from cradle to grave,
citing service history to tread wear. Tire-Track delivers an analysis program that helps
you identify the causes for tire failure, evaluate tire performance from multiple vendors
or models, and review relationships between vehicle type and tire performance. |

Tire-Track Software/Operating System |
|
|
|
The Tire-Track software is easy to use and
installs on your existing office computer. The software utilizes
the Palm OS (the standard operating system for mobile applications) that interacts with
the scanning device to download data of all of the events and activities for every tire.
The software interacts with the user to ensure your information is always accurate. |
|
|
|

1) Handheld Scanning Device – Reads the Tire-Track bar code
on the tire and saves data. These scanning units are designed specifically for the
transportation industry. Tire-Track is compatible with the latest Symbol Scanners or any
handheld system supporting Palm OS v 3.0 or greater. |
|
|
|
2) Scanner Cradle –
Imports or exports data and charges the scanner when not in use. Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLAN) can be incorporated with Tire-Track to improve the efficiency of importing
and exporting data. |

improved. |
