Road Ready has partnered with ConMet to add critical tire, hub and brake health insights to the Road Ready trailer telematics solution.
The Road Ready telematics solution incorporates “smart” OE trailer systems into a fleet management dashboard. The partnership adds ConMet’s PreSet Plus SmartHub, which is a connected health monitoring system built into a hub assembly, to the Road Ready user interface.
SmartHub sensors tap into wheel-end data, alerting fleets of any hub, tire and brake anomalies. On the back end, this data is analyzed and compared to ConMet’s several years of testing engineering expertise in order to create insightful information, Road Ready officials said in a press release.
Heavy Duty Trucking named ConMet’s SmartHub and the Road Ready trailer telematics solution a Top 20 Product in 2020 and 2018, respectively.
