The Pitcrew Autonomous Inspection system deploys Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions using thermal imaging, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to change the way trucking and mining vehicles are inspected. Thus, the system can detect problems in its initial stages, before the equipment is severely damaged or the vehicles cause fatal accidents at the mine. This is because even minor damages in OTR tires, such as a simple puncture caused by a rock, can result in complete tire failure, if not detected on time.

In addition, the Pitcrew solution provides real-time data for informed decision-making about tyre lifespan and maintenance needs, which is only possible through the use of distributed sensors and state-of-the-art computer vision. As a result, it improves mine safety, reduces tyre cost, and increases mine productivity.
