Problem
Traditional tire monitoring systems often provide limited data, focusing primarily on pressure and temperature. This lack of comprehensive insight into tire condition, such as wear, alignment, and lug nut security, can lead to compromised vehicle safety, reduced fuel efficiency, and premature tire replacement.
Solution
BANF offers an intelligent tire sensor system that delivers a holistic tire profile by continuously monitoring pressure, temperature, wear, wheel alignment, and lug nut status in real-time. The system utilizes an integrated sensor suite, the iSensor, which features a self-developed 3-axis acceleration sensor and low-energy Bluetooth (BLE) for high-frequency data sampling. Power is supplied wirelessly via the Smart Profiler, which connects to the vehicle battery, overcoming power limitations for sensors on rotating tires. This data is processed using advanced time-domain signal filtering and frequency-domain algorithms to extract detailed tire contact surface information, providing actionable insights for fleet management and driver safety.
Target Audience
BANF's primary customers are fleet operators, automotive manufacturers, and logistics companies seeking to enhance vehicle safety, optimize operational efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs through advanced tire intelligence.
