Bridgestone and Komatsu have launched a proof of concept (PoC) for a collaborative initiative aimed at providing new solution services to mining customers. The PoC will be carried out using Komatsu\u2019s mining trucks at a site operated by a mutual customer of Bridgestone and Komatsu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new program works through the real-time exchange and analysis of tire data from Bridgestone\u2019s advanced tire monitoring system for mining vehicles, Bridgestone iTrack, and vehicle data from Komatsu\u2019s large mining equipment monitoring system, Komtrax Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By utilizing this data, the manufacturers aim to improve fuel efficiency and extend tire life of mining trucks. Several key factors that significantly impact fuel efficiency will be analyzed, including: unique features of the haul road (such as slope and surface conditions); vehicle usage patterns (such as driving routes, speed and load); and tire specifications (pattern and material).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both companies plan to start offering services that could not be achieved individually, based on the results of this PoC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
