Managing Your Casing Assets
Commercial tire casings have a significant value. Tracking and evaluating casing life and performance -“Cradle to Grave,” ensures the lowest cost per mile of your assets. At Bauer Built we utilize the full suite of Michelin’s Casings Asset Management Systems to accurately track and record all your fleet’s data.
Over the lifespan of a tire, tracking its condition and keeping a record of maintenance can be difficult. When you manage a fleet, that adds up to a lot of tires and a lot of information. Knowing the history of each individual tire can get disorganized fast, especially without employing a Casing Asset Management system to keep it all together. At Bauer Built, we know the importance of having a detailed record for companies looking to adhere to strict fleet-defined business rules.
That’s why we’re proud to offer casing asset management for our customers with The Michelin BIB TREAD™ NEXT Program. Now you can get detailed reports on all of your tires and keep accountability for all your assets.
It works by tracking barcodes from pick up to return with the BIB TREAD™ NEXT software system. During each retread and repair process, casing information is displayed through each step and the management system keeps records of important information like manufacturer, size and tread design, tire series, number of times retreaded and age. Not only does it provide you with information, it curates it as well.
With all of this new information, we can provide detailed reports for your records, including reject and repair summaries, adjustment reports, and casing inventory, so that you can quickly identify problems and build solutions specific to your fleet.
