Tire management system reports and what they show

With tire management becoming more important every day, you need information to understand why. We understand completely. That is exactly why we are keeping up with this growth and bringing you more and more information so you can make a considered, well-informed decision. You already know that our system automates tire reports, right?

But what are these reports? Find out now:

Replacement forecast

For better budget planning and large purchases such as renewing fleet tires, nothing is better than having an idea of the forecast for retreading (tread replacement) or complete replacement of these tires (disposal).

With this in mind, the Prolog system has intelligence that calculates the date for each action.

Using average tire tread wear values per kilometer traveled, the system presents retreading and/or disposal dates for each tire. It is important to note that, for greater calculation accuracy, tire inspections must be performed regularly.

After all, data can only be generated from inspections and the mileage shown by the vehicle at the time of each inspection.

Latest inspection

To analyze fleet tires at the moment or understand inspection frequency, you can access the “latest inspection” report. It shows the date of the latest inspection and the data collected in the process for each license plate.

The main data are tire identification (the fire-branded ID number), its current pressure in psi, tread depth measurements in millimeters and the date the inspection was performed.

Open services and closed services

These are actually two separate reports. The open services report provides a view of all “work orders” currently open. The report also shows the tire's current condition and the reason the WO was opened.

The closed services report lists all WOs closed in the operation. It provides data on both the reason for opening and the solution adopted to close the service.

Overall tire summary

This report is very intuitive! You can view all general tire information by transport company branch office. For example, status (under analysis, in use, disposal, etc.), purchase amount, make and model.

It also shows which tread is installed, which license plate the tire is installed on, how many grooves it has and their measurements (at the time of the latest inspection).

Inspection schedule

One of the most important reports for keeping track of and setting fleet inspection dates. It shows the current status and inspection due date for each vehicle.

The report also identifies the vehicle model and vehicle type, number of installed tires and expected date of the next inspection.

Irregular tire wear

The Prolog tire management system identifies three wear levels:

  • Severe – 2.1 mm and above
  • Moderate – 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm
  • Low – 0.1 mm to 0.9 mm

Beyond that, the system identifies possible causes, actions and precautions for each situation.

In tire reports on irregular wear, you can view tread depth, pressure, inspection and wear description information with the cause, action and precaution — as well as photos of each tire's appearance attached at the time of inspection.

Inspection compliance by license plate

To find out percentage inspection compliance for each vehicle, this report calculates it for you. Compliance is calculated for both pressure and tread depth.

You can also view maximum and minimum days between inspections and the number of inspections meeting the goal, again for pressure and tread depth.

Unscheduled inspections

Unscheduled inspections are those performed outside the planned schedule for a specific reason. They are grouped in this report, ordered by the date performed within the search period.

It helps you avoid leaving any data out when making decisions!

Frequently asked questions

What reports does the tire management system offer?

These include replacement forecast, latest inspection, open services and closed services, which are two separate reports, overall tire summary, inspection schedule, irregular wear, inspection compliance by license plate and unscheduled inspections. There are other tire reports in the system too. Each covers part of the control routine — purchase planning, current tire condition, work orders and inspection discipline.

How does the tire replacement forecast report work?

It calculates the retreading date, meaning tread replacement, and the disposal date for each tire, based on average tread wear per kilometer traveled. It is used to plan budgets and large purchases, such as renewing fleet tires. For greater calculation accuracy, inspections need to be carried out regularly, because data come from inspections and vehicle mileage.

What does the latest inspection report show?

For each license plate, it provides the date of the latest inspection and the data collected — tire identification by the fire-branded ID number, pressure in psi, tread depth measured in millimeters and the day the inspection was carried out. This report is used to analyze fleet tire condition at that moment and also understand inspection frequency in the operation.

What levels of irregular wear does the system identify?

There are three — severe, from 2.1 mm upward; moderate, from 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm; and low, between 0.1 mm and 0.9 mm. Besides the levels, the system also suggests likely causes, actions and precautions for each case. The irregular wear report shows tread depth, pressure, inspection and a wear description, with the corresponding cause, action and precaution, as well as photos attached at the time of inspection.

How do you know whether tire inspections are up to date?

The inspection schedule shows each vehicle's inspection status and when it is due, alongside the vehicle model and type, how many tires are installed and when the next inspection is due. The compliance report complements it — it calculates percentage compliance by license plate, for both pressure and tread depth, and shows maximum and minimum days between inspections and how many met the goal.

What are unscheduled inspections in tire management?

They are inspections that take place outside the planned schedule, prompted by a specific situation. They are grouped in their own report, ordered by the date they were performed within the search period. Its function is to prevent a measurement taken outside the routine from being left out of decisions, since it also describes tire condition on that day.
