    2. “Product development specialising in low power radio, electronic circuit design and embedded firmware producing systems designed for specific markets “ We are a small micro company employing 6 professionals. Specialising in low power radio, electronic circuit design and embedded firmware we develop products for home automation under the “Celsia Systems” brand, and OTR TPMS under the “Tire Monitor System” brand. I am visiting Chile as our Tire Monitor System is used on heavy mine trucks in this country and we want to further this business relationship and also look for other new opportunities.

OTR - Off the road TPMS – Tire Pressure Monitoring System

    3. Why monitor tire pressure? “Off the road tires are very expensive, therefore it is very important to use them under proper conditions. It cannot be overemphasised to have a good maintenance program for obtaining the best tire performance.” Yokohama OTR Tires “Proper inflation pressure is essential to get the best performance from tires. Optimum traction, flotation and load endurance can only be obtained if the proper inflation pressure is maintained. Both over inflation and under inflation shorten tire life and can result in tire failure.” Yokohama OTR Tires The quotes are from the Yokohama OTR Tire handbook emphasising the importance of good tire maintenance and tire pressure. Tire service and maintenance is extremely important in the OTR market. OTR tire manufactures stress the requirement for good maintenance programs. Mines, ports and other users of large OTR vehicles are concentrating on keeping the equipment operational and ensuring tyre supply is not an issue whilst also reducing operating costs Escondida (BHP Billiton) is the worlds largest copper mine. 122 haul trucks. Key challenges set out by BHP in 2007: "Increase the availability of mine equipment (trucks)" and "Supply of new tyres“ But getting real time tire pressure data for OTR tires requires different technology and application than TPMS systems used for passenger cars. We have been supplying Tire Monitor System to the OTR market since 2004.The quotes are from the Yokohama OTR Tire handbook emphasising the importance of good tire maintenance and tire pressure.

    4. Measure and monitor tire pressure to: Reduce tire maintenance costs Avoid accelerated wear Increase productivity Improve fuel efficiency Extend tire life Reduce tire failures Maximise performance Decrease down time Keep COSTS DOWN and PRODUCTIVITY UP Here are some goals that users of OTR equipment are trying to achieve…..good tire maintenance and the correct tire pressure will help. Tire cost and supply are both increasing in cost and delivery Good tire maintenance can decrease costs and increase productivity Also - If tires are serviced and maintained correctly then the they can be retreaded many times? All OTR operators are working to reduce internal operating costs Measuring and monitoring tire pressures and temperatures is a key part of any good maintenance program Here are some goals that users of OTR equipment are trying to achieve…..good tire maintenance and the correct tire pressure will help.

    6. The founding members of A M Bromley Limited worked for Otter Controls Limited who was one of the initial developers of TPMS in the world with some of the earliest filed Patents. In 1997 Otter Controls ceased development. A M Bromley Limited was founded to provide electronic solutions and product development. Acquired TMS Intellectual Property in 2002 We continued development and testing on F1 racing cars, supplying the top F1 teams. This was a tough testing ground for the product as it had to withstand speeds in excess of 200mph, shock and vibration whilst remaining accurate and reliable. The TPMS market for passenger cars was already well underway by this stage. We saw a market opportunity in supplying niche markets that had very large expensive tires and assets to maintain. 2004/5 TMS was supplied to the OTR market. [Neotech in Northern Ireland sold their development to Schrader and Schrader Electronics was formed]The founding members of A M Bromley Limited worked for Otter Controls Limited who was one of the initial developers of TPMS in the world with some of the earliest filed Patents.

    7. Low power, battery operated sensor transmitters that are mounted inside the tire. Sensors are patched to the low flex area of the tire side wall using standard tire patch techniques Receivers decode the data transmitted from the sensors. Mounted inside the cab and powered by the vehicle supply. Antennas are connected to ensure reliable radio reception. The RS232 serial data is used by a lot of customers to integrate direct to their vehicle or other third party equipment. Operator Interface launched May 2009 to display real time tire pressure to the driver and log time stamped data. This allows TMS to be a stand alone system requiring no integration. TMS Manager, PC application to configure the system and download logged data. Low power, battery operated sensor transmitters that are mounted inside the tire.

    13. The Benefits of Tire Monitor System Real time, continuous display in the cab so drivers can make decisions whilst on shift Data is stored in memory with a time stamp so that managers can download and view to see historical tire pressure data and a history of the alarms Warning of low pressure and increased temperature Feedback from sites has clearly shown that drivers maintain tire pressures more reliably with TMS installed. The display warns of low pressure, high pressure, high temperature, low battery and timeout. Downtime for Bombardier has been reduced since operating with TMS. Cars can be pulled off-line before a failure occurs. Data showed exactly when a catastrophic tire failure occurred. From the time and date of the log the site manager could trace who was driving and it was shown that an untrained driver was operating the machine. The high temperature alarm has indicated failure with hub bearings and locked brakes. Warning before the failure and preventing unscheduled downtime.Feedback from sites has clearly shown that drivers maintain tire pressures more reliably with TMS installed.

Easily fitted inside the tire ? Warning when moving or stationary ? Eliminate inconvenient tire changing through early indication ?

    15. New Developments… AMB are continually improving products and developing new ideas: Externally mounted sensor Driver display unit TMS Manager … Externally mounted sensor required for Reach Stackers that have inner tubes Bombardier want to source the complete sensor from one supplier. The external canister allows this whilst also reducing overall product cost. The UK mine haul truck market required a stand alone TPMS and we launched the Operator Interface unit in May 2009. TMS Manager was updated in October 2009 with new alarms and more information (Version 6) Sensors for agricultural tires that require very low pressure 8PSIExternally mounted sensor required for Reach Stackers that have inner tubes Bombardier want to source the complete sensor from one supplier.
