Trelleborg has revealed its Adaptive Tyre Management System (ATMS) with the hope it can revolutionise the agriculture sector by increasing crop productivity while improving efficiency.
Awarded a Bronze Medal in the 2022 SIMA Innovation Awards, the new Trelleborg ATMS is said to represents the future of agriculture by bringing smart farming to everyday operations. The system acquires real-time tyre data for ultimate tractor performance through its sensors, mounted on a tyre integrated support.
The new ATMS detects the tyre working conditions including each tyre’s dynamic load, pressure and temperature. While working, the farmer is constantly informed on how to fully optimise the tractor configuration in each operation through the most appropriate tyre inflation pressure for an optimised footprint and reduced soil compaction, and the correct tractor ballast and implementation set-up for improved drivability on the road, greater traction and lower rolling resistance.
Trelleborg Wheel Systems’ Gianluca Abbati said the company worked hard to make sure farmers can produce more while using fewer resources.
“That means leveraging new technologies where they need it most,” he added. “Smart farming and sustainable agriculture must rely on accurate, real-time data. Trelleborg ATMS is a real market differentiator, providing the most important data to achieve a cost-effective agribusiness, by maximising vehicle operations, reducing working time and fuel consumption.”
