Use Cases

The customer is engaged in mining and processing. The company’s fleet includes dozens of mining dump trucks that transport heavy loads daily. When the maximum load capacity is reached, it is especially important to monitor tire pressure and temperature, as the tires can explode while driving and create a dangerous situation on the road.

To prevent such incidents, the company installed ITALON tire pressure and temperature sensors on the wheels of the dump trucks. The dispatcher received information from the sensors about the condition of each wheel and informed the driver if the values fell out of acceptable range. However, there were situations where the dispatcher could not react in time, and the tires overheated and burst. After that, the customer suggested the drivers monitor tire pressure and temperature themselves. To implement this idea, the company required a new convenient tire pressure monitoring system. Geoservice, a provider of telematics services and a Navilinx partner, proposed just that.

The customer had special requirements for the project:

• The solution should not be in the form of a mobile application, as not all drivers have smartphones where the app can be installed;
• The driver should be able to see information about all wheels and wheel pairs on one screen;
• The solution should be integrated with the already connected ITALON tire pressure monitoring system;

Together with Farvater and ITALON hardware manufacturers, Geoservice developed a special display for drivers that transmits data from sensors about the condition of all dump truck wheels. This data is transmitted to the Navtelecom SMART navigation terminal and then to Navilinx.

Navilinx accumulates data from wheel sensors of all dump trucks, giving the dispatcher the ability to analyze the condition of each wheel, vehicle, or the entire fleet for a selected period of time.






• A freestanding fuel tank in Mahlubi’s yard also obtained its Teltonika FMB120 tracker and a Bluetooth TRAK Smart Fuel Cap. In this case, the hardware is powered from a local security hut nearby.
• Navilinx processes the data collected by the GPS equipment and presents it to the customer in the form of maps, reports, and notifications. Navilinx’s Sensolator and Dashboard help track all the high-risk vehicles in one place and conveniently view the overall fleet stats. In the project, the platform also acts as the fuel monitoring system that records all the fuel-related data.
