Tire labels stay adhered under the most extreme temperatures, humidity, or abrasion during transport and storage, ensuring brand image and process requirements are met or exceeded, regardless of tire types.
For fleet management.
Reliability and efficiency of vehicle tire management is critical for fleet operators and fleet management companies for the entire lifecycle of every tire, and customized RFID aftermarket tire tags play an important role in tire management. Prevent tire theft, or support new business models, such as pay-per-mile or pay-per-use.
- Track individual tires for inventory management, servicing and maintenance
- Retrofit existing tires or integrate during production or re-treading
- Read tire data at a range of more than 2 meters with RFID
- Scan tires with mobile or gateway RFID readers
- Apply asset management and theft detection to individual tires
Tire tagging solutions for fleet management include:
- Patented RFID tag construction for on-tire application
- Color and variable printing
- RFID pre-encoded tags
- All steel tire compatibility
- TIRE LIFECYCLE TRACKING: POINT OF PURCHASE
- SERVICE HISTORY
- END OF LIFE
For retreaders.
Tire retreaders are able to take advantage of a wide range of patented solutions to uniquely identify tires through all stages of the retreading process. Using barcode, RFID or a combination of the two data collection technologies, retreaders can gain full product lifecycle management (PLM).
- Unique serialization down to the tire casing
- Complete traceability down to an individual tire casing
- Quality and warranty management
- Asset management of fleet tires
- Tracking service and maintenance for fleet tires
- Regulatory compliance (Truck Tire Regulations Section § 393.75: Tires)
Tire tagging solutions for retreaders include:
- Patented RFID tag construction for on-tire application
- Fully pre-printed color tread labels
- Sidewall application
- Blank tread labels for in-plant printing (and RFID encoding)
For the aviation industry.
Aircraft tire manufacturers and retreaders are subject to the ATA Spec 2000 automated identification and data capture requirements created by the aerospace industry. FineLine tire labels, together with in-plant solution for printing and encoding, are compliant with the RFID and barcode identification requirements under ATA Spec 2000,
- Comply with aviation industry ATA Spec 2000
- Save on compliance documentation
