Continental Digital Solutions sees ContiConnect 2.0 success with G.Webb

G.Webb has Continental’s tyre pressure monitoring system, ContiPressureCheck, fitted to the vast majority of its fleet, with all new vehicles receiving the equipment upon delivery.

KEEPING TABS ON TYRE STATUS

“We’ve been a fan of the ContiConnect platform from the outset,” explained G.Webb’s Fleet Engineering Director, Paul Broker. “It’s really helped us to keep tabs on the current tyre status of our trucks. It frequently helps us to minimise company-wide costs by giving us the information we need to stop a truck with a tyre defect before it escalates into a blowout or a breakdown.

“The new portal is clearer and simpler to interpret, and the issues are more explicitly displayed. That’s great for us in a busy office. We’re able to extract the vital information that we need quickly and pass this through to the workshop to begin repair preparations.”

IMPROVING MAINTENANCE EFFICIENCY

With a large, diverse fleet to manage, opportunities to increase maintenance efficiency are eagerly welcomed by the G.Webb engineering team.

“The new app has been a great addition to the ContiConnect 2.0 offering and has already allowed us to refine how we do things,” Paul said. “Not only is the user experience great, but it allows us to reset our tyre sensors and make changes to each truck’s individual system remotely, rather than just in the workshop. It means that if a tyre is replaced at the roadside, we don’t then have to bring the vehicle into the workshop to recalibrate the system, we can do it there and then.

“I’ve also been able to grant access to our Conti360° Solutions account management team so that they can have live access to our fleet. It’s certainly allowed us to be more widely connected and therefore be more versatile in our approach.”

NEW SYSTEM HELPS REFINE FORECASTING

Ian Jackson from Continental Digital Solutions worked closely with Paul to ensure the smooth and successful migration over to the new ContiConnect 2.0 system. The two companies are now collaborating further on future ContiConnect additions.

“The Continental Digital Solutions package has transformed the way we work,” added Paul. “There’s so much more predictability in workshop loading. We rarely get blowouts now. Certainly, we could not go back to a time without it. It’s exciting to think that the system will soon be able to provide more data about tread depths, remaining mileage and general rubber condition. It will make an already excellent product even more appealing.”

Unveiled earlier this year, ContiConnect 2.0 is a new generation tyre management system that builds upon existing functions and puts the framework in place for future platform developments to be integrated. Customer data is continuously analysed within the cloud, with ‘big data’ and artificial intelligence helping to deliver precise forecasting and continue the drive towards predictive, rather than reactive maintenance. Users benefit from a new, multifunctional app that provides even greater operational flexibility for fleet engineers.
