NEW ORLEANS — Aperia Technologies has introduced a new connected tire monitoring and self-inflation system that can be deployed on both medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, as well as trailers.
The Halo Connect i3 combines tire monitoring with automatic inflation and builds upon the company’s previous tire management offerings. The system is designed to help fleets to maximize efficiency and vehicle uptime with integrated pressure sensing, remote pressure set point adjustment, configurable alerts and customized inflation settings.
“We’ve got a brand-new inflation offer, completely connected, which now unlocks the Halo solution for all medium-duty fleets and is a better and more performant product for our traditional heavy-duty product,” said Ralph Dimenna, Aperia’s chief commercial officer.
Aperia introduced the product during a March 4 news conference at the 2024 Technology & Maintenance Council Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition.

“This brings a whole bunch of firsts to the market,” Dimenna said. “We are bringing dynamic set point configuration, monitoring and adjustment. These are fully connected inflators. You can communicate to those inflators two ways through all the different protocols.”
He also cited customer feedback indicating that many fleets were in need of tire management technology that could be applied across different types of assets.
We now have a single, fleetwide, comprehensive program that we can offer to our customers.

“It works on trailers, it works on medium-duty assets, and it works on heavy-duty assets,” Dimenna said of the new Halo system. “We now have a single, fleetwide, comprehensive program that we can offer to our customers.”
The latest Halo system delivers wheel analytics for every wheel position, Dimenna said.
“You can see at any given time exactly what is going on with every single tire on the vehicle,” he added.
Customers can configure the system by individual terminal, across the entire fleet or down to a single truck.

The system takes into account the environmental conditions around the vehicle, such as the temperature, to prevent false alerts.
Dimenna said Aperia’s algorithms have been tested by nearly 100 billion real-world road miles during the past decade.
“That gives you unparalleled capability to understand what is going on with the product, what is going on with your tire, what’s happening with that inflation, and how do I tune my maintenance program to take advantage of that,” he said.
