SmartStem Commercial Applications

Maintaining proper tire pressure is very important both to aircraft safety and economics. SmartStem is a wireless sensor integrated within a tire inflation valve that makes the daily tire pressure check quick, easy, accurate, and automatically documented. The user simply places the hand-held reader near SmartStem and reads the tire’s pressure, temperature, unique ID number, and other stored data - all in less than 3 seconds. The reader displays the data, date/time stamps it, and stores it for later download and automated record keeping. See a demonstration of how SmartStem works.

Annual Savings

It can take up to one hour to check the tire pressure on a large-body aircraft using a manual tire pressure gauge. Checking the same tires on an aircraft equipped with our SmartStem wireless tire pressure sensors takes less than 10 minutes—a saving of over 300 hours per year for each aircraft you service! In times like these, you need to cut costs. Let SmartStem take the pressure!
