CrossLink Inc. has announced 2004 availability of its TireBoss product, a new tyre monitoring system specifically designed for commercial truck fleets. Using TireBoss, a vehicle’s tyre temperature and pressure are remotely monitored and made accessible in real-time, via the web. TireBoss represents the end result of 5 years of development and extensive field trials by CrossLink together with a global tyre manufacturer. TireBoss solutions are applicable to trucks, buses, tankers, trailers and off-road heavy equipment vehicles. “We were determined to develop TireBoss to be both rugged enough for the off-road earthmovers and sensitive enough to read eighteen different tires on a moving tractor-trailer. Five years of development and test effort have paid off in a robust and reliable system that automates tyre monitoring, delivering data to the maintenance shed or other remote locations in real-time,” states CrossLink’s Vice President of Product Development, Jack Pyne.
