PressurePro, International Telematics announce integration

International Telematics Corporation (ITC) and Advantage PressurePro have announced their partnership and subsequent integrated TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system)/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 specializes in the design and manufacture of telematic solutions. Advantage PressurePro is the developer and marketer of the PressurePro - an aftermarket TPMS.

< p>"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," said Andrew Sutherland, CEO of International Telematics. "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 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 (i.e. GPRS, WiFi, Bluetooth, ethernet), has substantial advantages in terms of accuracy, flexibility and breadth of functionality, Sutherland said. 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, 2-way control and remote start/stop reefer capability, tire pressure sensors, power take off (PTO) monitoring and engine status and diagnostics.

The ibright system 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," said 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."
