Phillips Connect Technologies Partners with Pressure Systems International to Provide Tire Management Telematics Solutions

Santa Fe Springs, CA (October 2, 2019) Phillips Connect Technologies (PCT), a strategic business unit of Phillips Industries, has partnered with Pressure Systems International (P.S.I.) to provide telematics solutions for P.S.I.’s Automatic Tire Inflation System and TireView™ products.

This combined solution offers a first-of-its-kind capability to remotely pre-check the lights and tires on a parked trailer or chassis. This avoids the potential for dry runs before a tractor arrives, saving fuel and driver hours.

“The ability to proactively pre-check the status of a transportation asset remotely from any device connected to the internet is an absolute game-changer in terms of operational efficiency,” said Cliff Creech, business development manager intermodal for PCT.

Phillips Connect Technologies provides telematics solutions for trailers, chassis, and containers that add fully integrated cargo and health monitoring (lights, brakes, and tires) to real-time GPS tracking. These telematics solutions give fleet managers the information they need to turn their assets faster and maximize driver productivity.

Pressure Systems International is the global leader in automatic tire inflation for trailers. Earlier this year, it also announced the addition of TireView tire pressure and temperature monitoring (TPMS) for all vehicles, including trucks and tractors. Delivering real-time tire health to a fleet’s operation is critical, instead of waiting for a driver to report an underinflated tire. It provides an operational advantage when planning loads and equipment utilization. Having systems that provide this information on a reliable basis cannot be taken for granted when looking for ways to improve the bottom line.

Phillips Connect Technologies and Pressure Systems International will be exhibiting their products and technologies during The American Trucking Associations (ATA) Management Conference & Exhibition (MCE) being held October 5-9 at the San Diego Convention Center & Marriott Marquis. To learn more visit PCT in Booth 3031 and P.S.I. in Booth 2036.
