Heaptalk, Jakarta — Michelin showcased its MEMS 4 technology at the Jakarta International Mining Expo. MEMS 4 was specifically designed for mining operators and contractors who prioritize safety, productivity, and cost control in their operations.
“MEMS 4 is an advanced solution compared to the previous version, MEMS Lite. As an entry-level, cost-effective solution, MEMS Lite can monitor tire pressure and temperature through posts permanently installed in the mining area without requiring additional installation on operational trucks. Meanwhile, MEMS 4 offers more comprehensive functionality and connectivity, enabling remote monitoring from any device. MEMS Lite users can easily upgrade to MEMS 4 to experience the difference,” Michelin explained on Wednesday (09/11).
MEMS 4 is an advanced monitoring tool that tracks tire conditions and usage. This technology helps mining companies enhance safety, productivity, and operational efficiency by minimizing downtime. Some features of MEMS 4 include remote tire pressure and temperature checks and real-time notifications to prevent incidents and protect personnel.
In mining areas with rugged terrain and heavy mobility demands, using MEMS 4 offers several advantages. First, it improves safety: Remote monitoring of pressure and temperature helps prevent potential incidents, ensuring better protection for personnel. Second, it increases productivity: MEMS 4 helps reduce downtime, ensures smooth operations, and minimizes the need for unscheduled maintenance.
Third, it saves costs: By monitoring tire conditions in real-time, companies can extend tire life and save on operational budgets. Lastly, it increases truck availability: The consistent monitoring system allows teams to respond to tire issues more quickly and efficiently, thus improving the availability of heavy equipment in the field.
