ATHENS, TN, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Imagine a tool that can improve the operational efficiency, safety and cargo security of an entire fleet without compromise. No, this is not science fiction. It is already here and proving its power to maximize the potential of fleets near and far. That’s where TANK Ai™ comes in, an intelligent tanking system powered by Drōv®now offered by Engineered Transportation International (EnTrans®) on his healing trailer® and Polar Tank® Products.
TANK Ai is an innovative technology suite that acts as an intelligent co-pilot on the road, providing fleet managers and drivers with a complete overview of the trailer’s systems using sensors and devices that enable real-time monitoring. All data collected is filtered through TANK Ai’s AirBoxOne™, the system’s central controller, where fleets can access information to improve the safety, productivity and uptime of their trailers, while reducing maintenance costs.
So how is TANK Ai taking fleets into the future? One way is by reducing tire wear—something that’s already having a positive impact on the bottom line. TANK Ai’s automatic tire inflation/deflation and tire pressure monitoring system allows fleet managers to monitor tire pressure and make adjustments in real time. They, as well as the driver, are notified when tire pressure exceeds the preset, desired PSI value. The system then automatically adjusts the pressure up or down as needed.
This dynamic tire monitoring and adjustment is already paying off for Pilot/Flying J®The fleet deployed the technology on several of its Heil Trailer tank trailers, which are frequently loaded and unloaded, making tire pressure adjustment essential. Initial data from trailers with the dynamic tire system shows 51.7 percent longer tire life. The company estimates that tire costs over the life of each trailer equipped with the system will be half of those for trailers without it.*
“This technology allows us to adjust the maximum fuel load so we can add more gallons per load to our trailer in Oklahoma City, which equates to eight additional loads per year,” said Brent Hickman, senior manager of equipment maintenance and sales at Pilot/Flying J.
TANK Ai also sets a new standard for fleets in terms of safety, integrating intelligent features that help protect drivers and other vehicles on the road. A full suite of exterior cameras gives drivers and fleet managers unprecedented visibility of the areas around the trailer. The rearview camera eliminates blind spots, while the ultrasonic reversing sensors provide audio cues and visual assistance when backing and parking. When the trailer is in operation, the rear vehicle proximity and curb view cameras provide helpful views of the surrounding area. With these strategically placed exterior cameras, drivers are better equipped to maneuver their trailers safely on the road.
With TANK Ai, EnTrans ushers in a whole new era of advanced features that can increase safety, efficiency and uptime while reducing costs over the life of the trailer. Gone are the days of sacrificing safety for productivity or load integrity. Today, TANK Ai – the highly intelligent, integrated co-pilot for Heil Trailer and Polar Tank trailers – puts fleet managers and operators in full control.
