Re Alliance

Transense Technologies PLC ("Transense" or the "Company") The AIM-listed technology transfer company Translogik & Duratread Forge Alliance to Launch Tyre Monitoring & Asset Tracking System across Latin America (10th February, 2011)  DURATread, theOTR and Mining Tyre specialists have joined forces with UK company Translogik, to launch the state-of-the art OTR iTrack Asset management system in Latin America. In line with Translogik's business strategy of forging alliances with major regional mining and off-road companies in order to leverage existing customer networks and accelerate market adoption, Duratread will provide rapid, high quality technical and after-sales support to end-users. TheOTR iTrack Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), monitors and transmits live, uninterrupted real-time data about individual tyre pressures and temperatures as well as vital vehicle information such as speed, acceleration, braking and route traveled.  Tests conducted since the Spring of 2010 on 400 ton dump trucks, have already proven the durability of the system in large mining operations. The OTR iTrack TPMS is fitted on site by trained engineers who install transmitters, antennae, and an in-cab display linked to the GPS/GSM network.  This unique technology uses GPS instead of fixed perimeter transmitters and continual live data is transmitted at the dispatch, in the cab, on the internet, in a dedicated client area and even to data enabled mobile phones. The benefit to fleet owners is that they get immediate, uninterrupted information in real-time on their computer or mobile phone which means they can act quickly and efficiently to maximise tyre performance, reduce vehicle downtime and increase safety for the vehicle and driver. Laurence Turnbull, Managing Director of Duratread commented. "We had been looking for a system to monitor tyre performance that would give added value to our clients regardless of whether or not they were using Duratread Tyres on their fleet. For our regular contracted clients, we ensure Duratread Tyres are fully pre- enabled with sensor and RFID technology when they arrive from the factory, so it really is a "plug and play" system as far as the Duratread Tyre operator is concerned. But as we are increasingly becoming consultants on tyre performance optimisation, because our system is not linked to the purchase of tyres, we are able to assist fleets or their tyre service companies install the OTR iTrack and get the same benefits.  We believe that our methodology makes the product more financially viable, technically more robust and is applicable for smaller and independent operators as well as larger companies". Graham Storey, CEO of Translogik commented. "We are delighted to be working with Duratread in bringing the iTrack OTR TPMS system to Latin America. As an independent tyre specialist, Duratread are able to take their pick of the systems currently available and select best-of-breed solutions. Having Duratread align themselves to iTrack reinforces our belief that Translogik offer the most compelling OTR asset management solution on the market today." In a market where tyre prices are rapidly increasing and demand is already exceeding supply, the OTR iTrack Asset Management system will allow companies to make tyres last longer and get a better return on their tyre investment.
