Case Study: Tire Profiles achieves rapid, secure 15‑second tire diagnostics with Digi International TransPort LR54 router

Tire Profiles - Customer Case Study

Tire Profiles, an industry leader in tire diagnostics and maker of the award‑winning GrooveGlove handheld laser scanner, helps dealerships and repair shops measure tread depth and wear patterns to recommend rotations and replacements. The company faced a twin challenge: technicians and customers often rely on inaccurate visual checks, costing safety and sales, and GrooveGlove needed fast, secure, and rugged connectivity that would work reliably in harsh garage environments.

Tire Profiles deployed the Digi TransPort LR54 — a durable LTE‑Advanced (CAT6) router with dual‑band Wi‑Fi and centralized management via Digi Remote Manager — to link GrooveGlove kiosks to the cloud. License‑plate images and tire scans travel from the device to the LR54, then over a Verizon IoT network for VIN lookup and analysis, returning a customized TreadTracker report in about 15 seconds; the result is secure, easy-to-manage connectivity that speeds diagnostics, reduces IT burden, and opens the door to more tire and alignment sales.
