SmartWheels embeds IoT sensors in tires to stream real‑time data on tread depth, temperature, pressure, and stress, which is processed by AI to deliver predictive maintenance alerts and safety warnings. The cloud platform aggregates this data across fleets, offering dashboards, API integration, and usage‑based pricing so operators can prevent failures, extend tire life, and monetize performance metrics.

Problem
Fleet operators and mobility businesses lack real-time visibility into tire condition and road interactions, leading to unexpected failures, higher maintenance costs, and underutilized data that could improve operational efficiency.
Solution
SmartWheels embeds proprietary IoT sensors directly into tires to create a continuous stream of contextual data such as tread depth, temperature, pressure, and road‑induced stress patterns. The collected data are processed by AI algorithms that generate actionable insights, including predictive maintenance alerts, safety warnings, and performance analytics. These insights are delivered through a cloud platform, enabling fleet managers to monitor tire health in real time, schedule interventions before failures occur, and optimize tire usage. By turning tires into data sources, SmartWheels also allows businesses to monetize tire performance metrics and integrate tire intelligence into broader mobility infrastructure strategies.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial fleet operators, logistics companies, and vehicle‑sharing platforms that require high tire uptime and data‑driven maintenance strategies.
