German construction sector still in recession, civil engineering only bright spot
OXFORDSHIRE - Transense Technologies plc (AIM:TRT) has launched lower-cost versions of its Translogik TLGX3 and TLGX4 tyre inspection tools, the company announced Thursday in a press release.
The updated tools maintain their core functionality while becoming more affordable through targeted investments in product development and manufacturing efficiency. Both devices read tyre pressure, tread depth, and RFID tags, with the TLGX4 also capable of reading data from common TPMS sensors.
"By making our TLGX3 and 4 inspection tools more affordable, we’re giving fleet operators, OEMs and service providers the ability to benefit from these technologies," said Ryan Maughan, Managing Director at Transense Technologies.
The tools enable full lifecycle traceability of tyres by reading data stored on RFID tags embedded in tyres, including serial numbers, manufacturer details, model and size data. This information is captured quickly to streamline inspections and support maintenance strategies.
Angelo Pingitzer, Product Manager for the EMEA Service Network at Goodyear Germany, stated that the RFID-enabled tools "eliminate manual tyre data entry, saving time and workload in the field and office."
For tyre dealers and service providers, the tools combine multiple inspection tasks into a single handheld device. Christian Wilkening, a Tyre Technician at Reifen Stiebling GmbH in Germany, noted that using the tools with RFID capability has "significantly saved time."
Maughan added that customer feedback indicated cost had been a barrier to adoption, prompting the company to develop more affordable options that "pay for themselves within months" for many customers.
Transense Technologies is a UK-based developer of sensor systems for industrial and automotive applications listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
