A Digi International Case Study
Tire Profiles, a leader in diagnostic systems for measuring tire tread depth, faced a challenge in the automotive service industry. Customers were often skeptical about needing new tires, and traditional visual assessments were unreliable, leading to missed safety risks and lost sales opportunities. Their solution, the GrooveGlove handheld scanner, required a fast and rugged connectivity component to transmit data from repair shops to the cloud. They turned to Digi International for this critical piece.
Digi International provided the Digi TransPort LR54 router, a high-speed and secure LTE-Advanced solution, to handle GrooveGlove's data transmission. This allowed tire scan data and vehicle identification to be sent quickly to the cloud for analysis, with a detailed report generated and returned in about 15 seconds. The integration of Digi Remote Manager also enabled centralized router management. For Tire Profiles, the Digi solution resulted in a reliable system that helps service providers increase tire sales and alignment services without IT complexity, enhancing both customer safety and dealer revenue.
