Baltimore-based Cambridge Iron and Metal has selected TireStamp’s TireVigil Pro system for monitoring the tires on its fleet of trucks. The TireVigil system will be fully implemented to support the demands of a fleet that hauls steel, brass, copper and other metals to steel mills and other manufacturing customers. “We searched for a system that would get control of our increasing tire expenses by monitoring tire pressure 24/7 no matter where our trucks are,” says Edward McCauley, Cambridge’s director of maintenance. The system’s initial installation “confirmed everything that was advertised and reported tire problems so fast even our drivers and tire service provider were impressed,” he continues. “We may take off for holidays, but TireVigil keeps working and reporting the status of our tires.” Cambridge is already reducing its weekly tire service costs, McCauley notes. The system continuously analyzes tire pressure and temperature data to give fleets the ability to both monitor and react to developing tire problems such as slow leaks, under- or over-inflation conditions, mismatched duals, and overheating while at the same time providing ongoing analysis of tire performance across the fleet. This capability provides Cambridge with the ability to perform proactive tire service to prevent time-consuming route delays. McCauley says the company now obtains the information needed for better casing management and tire and retread purchasing decisions. Cambridge was founded in 1909 and remains one of the largest metal recycling businesses in the Mid-Atlantic region. It collects and processes metals such as steel, brass, copper, aluminum and stainless steel for reuse and is a direct shipper of processed recyclable materials to steel mills, manufacturers and other customers. The company’s range of offerings also includes container, truck, trailer and roll-off services. For more information, visit www.cambridgeiron.com or www.tirestamp.com. |
