In IoT, it’s easy to think that more tech equals better solutions. But sometimes, the best ideas come from challenging what seems obvious. A recent article on tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) asks a simple yet bold question: “Does TPMS even need a pressure sensor?”
It sounds strange—how else would you know if tire pressure’s off without, well, sensing the pressure? But that’s the beauty of creative thinking in action. At ObjectSpectrum, we’re all about rethinking assumptions to uncover solutions that don’t just work – they work smart.
A New Take on TPMS
Here’s the twist: instead of adding a sensor to measure tire pressure directly, why not leverage data from wheel speed sensors already built into most vehicles? As pressure drops, the tire’s rolling radius changes, altering wheel speed. With the right software, you can pinpoint low pressure without extra hardware.
It’s not just clever. It’s cost-effective, reliable, and saves on the maintenance that extra hardware demands. You get the same critical data minus the hassle. It’s a great example of what we aim for: innovation that simplifies instead of overcomplicating.
Turning Smart Thinking into Real Results
This approach to TPMS mirrors the way we tackle challenges at ObjectSpectrum. IoT isn’t about adding shiny new tools for the sake of it – it’s about finding smarter ways to get the job done. Sometimes that means optimizing what you already have instead of starting from scratch.
Take a recent client project. They were managing remote sensors across multiple sites with a patchwork of costly communication devices. Rather than suggest more equipment, we streamlined their data flow, cutting costs and improving reliability. The result? A solution that worked harder, not heavier.
This is IoT done right: thoughtful, efficient, and focused on solving problems without creating new ones.
