The Tire Identification System utilizes Bytewise High Speed (2000 Hz) Profile Sensors to rotationally scan the sidewall of a tire and identify the tire. Identification can be based on the DOT Code, a tire manufacturer's unique mold code, molded-in bar code, or any other unique molded-in feature.
The Tire ID System is used in tire factories to identify tires after curing for sorting into the final finish department, thus eliminating the need for human tire sorting.
The Tire ID system can also be used in auto assembly factories to match the DOT Code, including date code, to the Vehicle Identification Number for purposes of recall management. The system is used in just-in-time Tire/Wheel Assembly facilities to verify that the correct tire is matched to the proper wheel for sequence management.
