MICHELIN MEMS LITE: MINING TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

A Simple, Budget-Friendly TPMS Targeted for Rigid Dump Trucks Below 150T.

MICHELIN MEMS LITE is an affordable, entry-level TPMS solution, that helps adding safety and savings to your operations without adding hardware to your trucks.

The solution combines MICHELIN MEMS tyre sensors with fixed reading stations strategically installed at your site to periodically capture and transmit tyre pressure and temperature data.

MICHELIN MEMS LITE is targeted for rigid dump trucks between 100- and 150-tons using tyres with a diameter of 49 to 51 inches and is easily upgradable to MICHELIN MEMS 4 for added functionality

WHY MONITOR MY TYRES?

Monitoring and maintaining tyre pressure and temperature helps drive safety and add performance and savings to your mine operations.

  • Your mine's safety and productivity depend on your vehicles running at peak performance: safely, efficiently and economically.
  • Tyres play a crucial role in your vehicles’ performance. Speed, load, tyre condition and mine condition impact tyre performance.
  • Tyres are a significant part of your operational budget.

What are the advantages of using a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) at your site?

  • Monitoring tyre pressure and temperature can help enhance safety and support optimal tyre performance
  • Helps build greater confidence in your mine operations and equipment
  • Can contribute to lower maintenance costs through earlier identification of tyre‑related issues

 

WHAT IS MICHELIN MEMS LITE?

 

A simple, budget-friendly Tyre Pressure Monitoring Solution

 

Whatever the tyre brand, MICHELIN MEMS LITE is an affordable, easy-to-operate tyre monitoring solution that adds safety and savings to your operations without installing hardware on your trucks.

It combines MEMS proven, long-lasting tyre sensors with fixed reading stations that capture tyre data periodically based on when vehicles drive by. Data is transmitted to connected devices for periodic tyre pressure and temperature readings remotely. The system is designed to alert you and help you improve control of your mine operations.

HOW DOES MICHELIN MEMS LITE WORK?

MICHELIN MEMS LITE
Yellow icon reprezenting connected tyres

Service and solution : yellow connected waves

Liquid proof sensors:

Tyres are equipped with tyre sensors to capture tyre pressure and temperature data.


Sensors are compatible with all tyre brands using the “MEMS-ready” feature in MICHELIN tyres or a retrofit patch for tyres smaller than 49” or non-MICHELIN tyres.

Icon reprezenting data from fixed station

emission from fixed station

Fixed reading stations:

When vehicles drive by, the fixed reading station periodically captures this tyre data.

Data can be captured up to 100 meters / 100 yards away with a clear line of sight.

Icon reprezeting a cloud

Service and solution : cloud

Web application:

Tyre data is transmitted to connected devices through a local server or Cloud server and is remotely accessible from any laptop, tablet or smart phone.

Alerts are designed to help support timely action.

FULL TPMS PORTFOLIO: MICHELIN EARTHMOVER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (MEMS)

Michelin developed the industry’s first TPMS for surface mining equipment in 2006. Today, Michelin offers a portfolio of  TPMS solutions to suit your mine’s needs. All MICHELIN MEMS solutions are equipped with MICHELIN Connected Technologies, including liquid-proof tyre sensors for longer life.

Scalable TPMS Designed to Grow into MICHELIN MEMS 4

MICHELIN MEMS LITE is designed as a first step that can be easily upgraded to MICHELIN MEMS 4, Michelin’s TPMS developed for surface mining since 2006.​

Key differences when moving to MICHELIN MEMS 4:​

  • Continuous tyre pressure and temperature readings instead of periodic captures​

  • GPS geolocation, geofencing, speed monitoring and severity mapping​

  • More detailed and extensive reporting options​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

How does MICHELIN MEMS LITE connect to my equipment?

Tyre sensors are fitted inside each tyre – either by using the “MEMS-ready” feature in MICHELIN tyres or a retrofit patch for tyres smaller than 49” or non-MICHELIN® tyres. When vehicles drive by fixed reading stations strategically installed at the mine site, the fixed reading station captures the data and then transmits it to a local or cloud-based server. There is no hardware installed on your vehicles.

IS THERE A MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM SIZE OF FLEETS REQUIRED TO USE MICHELIN MEMS LITE?

No, not at all. MICHELIN MEMS LITE is a simple, affordable TPMS that is an ideal option for any size fleet to start to measure tyre pressure and temperature remotely and periodically. This easy-to-operate TPMS helps strengthen safety, save on budget and increase productivity at your mine sites.

Is it possible to extract the data?

Yes, when the data is captured at reading stations, it is transmitted to a local or cloud server and easily accessible by mine personnel from any laptop, tablet or smart phone. You also can extract the raw data.

How can I upgrade to MICHELIN MEMS 4?

MICHELIN MEMS LITE is easily upgradable to MICHELIN MEMS 4 by adding hardware (a transceiver) to your trucks that upgrades from periodically capturing data to continuous readings among other features. Click here to learn more about the added functionality of MICHELIN MEMS 4.
