What does enTIRE do?

• enTIRE is a database that tracks and stores every aspect of a tyres life.

• Data is collected in the field and entered into enTIRE with a “drag drop” interface.

• Tyre performance and stock levels can be calculated and used in purchase negotiations and tyre/downtime management.

• Over time, with good management the cost of tyres will be reduced, as well as vehicle downtime.

Centralise Many Operations

• enTIRE can centralise data from many operations so that management can make global purchasing decisions.

• Tyre and downtime performance can be compared between operations to identify best practice sites.

• Staff performance from each location can be analysed.• Management will have a clear picture of tyre

performance at all operations.

How can enTIRE help you reduce costs?

“You can’t manage what you can’t measure”

Reduce Stock Loss

• enTIRE tracks tyre stocks internally and externally • Full stock control system - tracking tyres between

locations and onto individual tyre positions.• Tracks casings at recappers and repairers• Tracks tyres to the scrap area for final inspections.• Premature scrapping, tyre swapping, incorrect casing

scrapping at recap can be reduced or eliminated.• Stock losses are reduced, improving the total

performance of the total fleet of tyres.

Identify Operation Issues Reducing Tyre Life

• enTIRE tracks each tyre from delivery to scrap.• Operational issues that reduce tyre life (punctures, alignment,

overloading) are identified and reported at regular intervals.• Management can then modify operational issues that reduce tyre

life and impact vehicle downtime.• Operational issues may include, overloading, punctures from

areas not maintained well, overheating, damage due to low or high pressures, physical damage due to impacts etc.

• Final inspection of scrap tyres identify failure reasons so that action can be taken if possible.

• Once operational issues are identified they can be addressed and eliminated or at least reduced.

Identify Manufacturing Issues Reducing Tyre Life

• enTIRE track each tyre from delivery to scrap.• Manufacturing issues that reduce tyre life (high wear rates, heat

separations, manufacturing faults) are identified and summarised at regular intervals.

• enTIRE tracks the number of times a tyre casing can be recapped.• Best performing tyres can be recapped a number of times, so

casing life is an important aspect of tyre performance.• Management can then feed back issues to the tyre manufacturer

for improvement and warranty claims.• Over time, tyre performance will increase, vehicle downtime

decrease as the tyre manufacturers improve their products for your operation.

Track The Performance of Multiple Tyre Manufacturers/Suppliers

• Ports should always maintain a smaller percentage of tyres from alternative manufacturers, to ensure ongoing competition.

• enTIRE can track tyre performance of multiple tyre suppliers/manufacturers to determine the best performing tyre (for example 80% supply to main supplier, 20% supply to alternative suppliers)

• This technique ensures that tyre companies are competing strongly between supply contracts hoping to secure the majority supply.

• Tyre performance can be tracked from each supplier to ensure that your operation is using the best performing brand.

• Over time, strong competition will result in improved products and service, increasing tyre life, reducing tyre manufacturers faults and reduce downtime.

Track The Performance Of Tyre Recaps

• Recapping tyres reduces the total cost of each tyre.• The recap ability of each tyre casing effects the total

cost of your tyre fleet.• enTIRE also tracks the performance and life of each

recap applied to each tyre.• As with tyres, enTIRE identifies the best performing

recap type. The best performing recap may be the most expensive to purchase BUT it provides your operation with a better value tyre.

• enTIRE identifies the performance of tyre recap suppliers to determine the number of times your tyre casings can be recapped.

Correct Pressure Maintenance Improves Tyre Life

• enTIRE tracks and reports on tyre pressures. • Incorrect tyre pressures reduce tyre life, reduce safety, increase fuel

consumption.• enTIRE interfaces into the PressurePro Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS), which transmits tyre pressures to a central location for evaluation and intervention.

• A TPMS system will eliminate the need to manually check each tyre used in your operation. Tyres with incorrect tyre pressures are identified for correction.

• A TPMS system reduces the enormous manual task and cost of checking each tyre.

• Tyre performance and fuel consumption is improved by around 4%. Labour costs to maintain tyre pressures is almost eliminated.

• Warranty claims increased due to enTIRE maintaining a full operational/pressure history of each tyre.

Purchase Best Performing Tyres, Not The Least Expensive

• enTIRE tracks and reports on tyre performance (Cost/Km or Mile, Cost/Hour, Cost/Ton) as well as total tyre cost.

• enTIRE identifies best performing tyres which could be the most expensive to purchase.

• For example a more expensive tyre may last proportionally longer than a less expensive tyre resulting in a better cost per hour/km/ton. A $5000 tyre that lasts 5000 hours ($1/hour) is a better buy than a $4000 tyre that lasts 3000 hours $1.33 / hour). enTIRE assists you to purchase better value tyres.

• With improved tyre life, there is the added benefit of reduced vehicle downtime.

enTIRE ROI Summary

• enTIRE empowers you with detailed performance and operational information to be used in negotiations with tyre suppliers

• enTIRE assist you in identifying operational and manufacture issues that reduce tyre life

• enTIRE looks at every aspect of tyre operations including stock movement, recapping, repairing, grooving, casing life to determine the best tyre brand to be used at your operation.

• enTIRE allows you to evaluate multiple tyre suppliers at your sites, encouraging healthy, transparent competition that over time will improve tyre performance and reduce costs.

• TPMS systems will reduce the labour cost of tyre pressure maintenance and also improve safety.

• Tyre recapping and repair performance will increase. • The independence of enTIRE data will send a message to suppliers that

they are being watched and evaluated.• Vehicle downtime is reduced.• Tyre costs over time are driven down.
