Recently, according to foreign media reports, Michelin plans to add radio frequency identification (
RFID) chips to all its tires by 2023, providing predictive maintenance services to make driving safer.
As one of the important components of a vehicle, tires are not only related to the handling performance of the vehicle, but also to the safety of passengers, and their importance is self-evident. In order to improve the safety performance of car driving, Michelin has decided to carry out intelligent networked transformation of tires!
In the report, Michelin tires were implanted with
RFID technology
Chips can not only track tires throughout their entire lifecycle, but also make significant contributions to predictive maintenance services; At the same time, it can also be used to enhance driving safety, enabling advanced driving assistance systems such as ESP to make subtle adjustments based on specific tire characteristics. In addition, it can provide timely and accurate tire replacement and maintenance information, providing accurate tire identification and data for dealers and repair shops to reduce fitting errors and help control inventory.
This technology uses up to 15 million chips annually. Although the quantity is large, it can be used to improve the recycling rate of old tires, allow for verification of recycling, and enhance the efficiency of energy recovery projects.
In the future, with the increasing degree of connectivity in automobiles, Michelin is also collaborating with car manufacturers to develop algorithms, paving the way for further new developments.
Michael Ewert, Vice President of Global Sales for Michelin Original Equipment, said, "Due to the precise tire identification enabled by
RFID technology, it is imaginable that in the future, drivers will see a tire status display icon next to the vehicle's fuel gauge. Implanting
RFID into tires
This has made many new business models possible and can further improve driving safety. We believe that this represents an important step forward for the tire industry. ”
