Eurotire, an emerging leader in the design and manufacture of off-the-road (OTR) tyres and provider of tyre support services for the global mining industry, has released EuroTrak, its tyre tire management system. Tyre and wheel performance data will be collected from around the world using EuroTrak, centralised and analysed at Eurotire’s offices, and fed back to Eurotire’s manufacturing plants to provide continuous product improvement feedback.
Eurotire chose Vehicle Management Corporation (VMC) and its enTIRE Tire and Rim Management Software (a Windows based computer program that will track the performance and stock levels of a fleet of tyres and wheels) to create this customised tyre data collection system. Eurotire’s selection of VMC enTire followed an extensive analysis of globally available data collection platforms. Eurotire management confirmed, “The enTire platform is the best solution for a global data collection program. VMC is not only an industry expert they are also an independent company insuring that the information collection process and the data collected is totally unbiased.”
According to VMC, “This is the largest implementation of a centralised tyre management system in the world, with the database and web interface supporting hundreds of online users. More importantly, the data is owned and located with Eurotire.”
Meir Dubinsky, COO of Eurotire, said, “VMC enTire, with its proven software system, is the natural choice for Eurotire’s EuroTrak requirements. As an emerging leader in the global OTR tyre industry it is extremely important that we not only collect tyre and wheel data, but collect data and apply the findings in a way that allows us to create value for our customers.” In addition Mr. Dubinsky noted, “Eurotire doesn’t simply sell a product; we design, manufacture, and sell a high quality, reliable OTR tyre product that we then support through our global tyre service programs. Eurotire is differentiated by the service and support that we provide to our customers and the EuroTrak system will allow us to take our service and support to the next level.”
