MAUMEE, Ohio, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana
Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today announced the release of Rhombus™
TireAnalytics Version 3.0 with new capabilities to help large
fleets reduce tire costs. The third generation of the
technology provides new cost-per-mile (CPM) analysis capabilities
and best practice solutions that enable commercial-truck owners and
fleet maintenance managers to make better data driven decisions for
each application.
Rhombus TireAnalytics, introduced in 2017 and adopted by a broad
range of North American fleets, is a cloud-based platform that
allows fleets to establish best practices for their tire
maintenance programs and ensure these practices are adhered to by
tracking compliance across all terminals. Additionally, the
platform allows fleet managers to identify and predict maintenance
issues to minimize downtime and maximize the life of their
tires.
The CPM tire comparisons, which can be determined by application
or by axle type using the fleet's actual miles-per-tire (MPT) data
and tire cost, provide situational analyses utilizing a fleet's
real-life data. The new release also includes enhanced user
authentication for stronger security and more flexibility in how
users secure access to the platform.
In direct response to customer feedback, Rhombus TireAnalytics
3.0 also includes a new install and rotate capability for the
mobile application, which is quickly accessible for technicians
servicing a vehicle anywhere in the terminal. This feature
saves technicians significant time recording more complex patterns
that involve, for example, rotating a set of tires while matching
pairs of dual tires at the same time.
"Rhombus TireAnalytics directly addresses one of the top
expenses for a fleet, and this latest version continues our mission
to provide data-driven solutions, allowing fleets and truck owners
to predict and optimize tire spend in order to maximize a vehicle's
operational effectiveness," said Mark
Wallace, president of Dana Commercial Vehicle Driveline
Technologies. "This enhancement also takes into consideration
critical customer feedback, allowing maintenance professionals to
better assess their tire management strategies and ensure
operational efficiency for this critical area of maintenance."
Dana will present Rhombus TireAnalytics 3.0, as well as a
comprehensive lineup of Spicer Electrified™ systems, traditional
driveline technologies, and other solutions for commercial
vehicles, in booth 2801 at the upcoming TMC Annual Meeting
March 18 – 21, 2019.
