Do I really need to keep tire records?
Are tire change cards enough or do I need a tire tracking software program?
The choice is really up to you. But consider that ETMS utilizes sophisticated tire tracking software to monitor the performance of over 7,000 tires, on 668 pieces of equipent, at 48 job/mine sites.
We utilize EM Track, a sophisticated tire tracking system. While this is an important component, we feel it represents just a small portion of what is necessary to truly control and reduce tire costs, as well as operating costs related to tires.
Many operations are content with knowing what their cost per hour is on their tires. But what drives that cost per hour? What can I do to lower my tire costs? What wheel positions are my highest costs? Why has my cost per hour increased? These represent just a fraction of the questions ETMS seeks to answer thru use of a powerful tire-tracking program.
We don’t have to do this but in order for ETMS to be a complete success, it is critical that we have the ability to generate many reports filtered in many ways to pin point exactly what is happening with your tires.
The ETMS team can not only handle your entire tire tracking needs out of our corporate office, but we will gladly provide you with detailed monthly reports with summary recommendations and highlights.
