Electrochem's PressureSensorOne (PS1) system offers a solution for one of the world's leading tire manufacturers. During their final manufacturing process, the tire is cured through a series of chemical reactions. In addition, the sidewalls and tread are molded. Tire curing is a high-temperature and high-pressure batch operation in which the uncured tire is placed into a mold at a specified temperature.

After the mold is closed, the rubber compound flows in to mold the shape and form the tread details and sidewall. The mold cannot be opened until the curing reaction is completed.

The rugged PS1 offers a solution by measuring the internal pressure and temperature of the mold and wirelessly streaming the data back to the control center. Using the latest Zigbee wireless protocol, the PS1 offers ultra low power consumption, reliability, interoperability. The software is customized to work with existing monitoring systems to make the solution as seamless as possible.

Without the need for common cables, power supplies or data acquisition equipment, this self-powered solution can be as remote and custom as you need them to be, empowering your business with critical real-time information.
