For the tire manufacturer Continental, data analytics is the key to increasing road safety and reducing the number of breakdowns of vehicles in motion. Using the Cloudera data platform, Continental allows operators who use fleets of vehicles for their business to constantly monitor tire conditions, in order to reduce wear, avoid costly breakdowns and reduce maintenance costs and fuel consumption.
Road safety with Continental
Founded in 1871, Continental is one of the leading tire manufacturers with 24 production sites worldwide. In addition to tire trading and fleet management, Continental Tires offers digital tire management systems. Using the data platform of ClouderaContinental is driving the development of new applications and continues its transition from a conventional manufacturer to a provider of integrated solutions for the industry.
Low air pressure causes punctures: attention to road safety
Among the main reasons for breakdowns and calls for roadside assistance are tires that have not been inflated sufficiently. Accidents of this type not only cost companies time and money, but also impact the operation of vehicle fleets and cause disruptions and delays in supply chains. Tire pressure and tread depth also impact safety, fuel efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Digital fleet monitoring with ContiConnect
With the digital management solution “ContiConnect”, Sensors in the tires continuously measure pressure, temperature and mileage.
Fleet managers have real-time access to data via a portal or app. They receive alerts and recommendations for action if, for example, specified values are exceeded or not reached and at the same time, they receive assistance in creating accurate forecasts for fleet maintenance proactively rather than reactively.
Having access to information is particularly important when vehicles need to adapt to different loading and terrain conditions. This is Continental's response to customer requests for more technical data tailored to their specific industry or operating environment.
Tire data analysis saves on unnecessary maintenance, costly breakdowns and reduces excessive fuel consumption. Reducing tire wear also increases mileage and safety. Overall, fleet performance has improved: one operator in the UK with a fleet of 55 vehicles said it had reduced breakdowns by 83% and saved the equivalent of almost €23,000 in fuel costs in one only year of use of ContiConnect.
