Remote tyre inflation and data reporting at your fingertips as showcased at Automechanika Frankfurt
Ever since its initial launch, the robust and reliable ACCURA QUBE has had the market boxed off for fast and accurate inflation where space is limited.
A firm favourite in workshops, tyreshops and garages all over the world, it gained further popularity when it was upgraded to the ACCURA QUBE Series II, incorporating digital technology for Air and Nitrogen inflation.
Now, this compact unit packs an even more powerful punch when it comes to safety benefits with the release of a new Bluetooth enabled model with the dedicated Workshop Connect App.
Designed to keep the user out of harm’s way, the Bluetooth QUBE enables a 15-metre operating range and precise tracking of inflation data making it ideal for:
- Vehicle maintenance in workshops and tyre changing shops
- Maintaining fleet workshop data and safety records
- Keeping a safe distance during HGV roadside maintenance
The Workshop Connect App features a user-friendly design to ensure easy navigation and quick input of vehicle information. Meanwhile, Bluetooth connectivity enables the operator to keep an eye on inflation from a safe distance, whilst remaining confident the job is being done accurately and safely.
The Workshop Connect App has been designed around the end user, guiding them step by step through the process - from entering the type of vehicle and axle configuration to checking starting pressure then inflating to optimum pressure; incorporating distance warnings and an emergency stop button. When inflation is complete the QUBE sounds an alarm and sends a signal to alert the user.
Each inflation is recorded as a PDF and CSV file so a database of the inflation data can be saved and used in the future. This reporting mechanism enables information to be printed off or filed on a computer and can be included in a premium service presentation to the customer to confirm tyre pressure and condition.
Managing Director Lee Wright said: “PCL dedicates itself to the design and manufacture of customer-centric products with safety of paramount importance, and the Bluetooth enabled QUBE is a major step forward in response to demand for those looking for a smart and reportable “belt and braces” solution.
“We have made significant investment into the development and assembly of this advanced unit and the Workshop Connect App here in Sheffield, working with partners in the local area. The unit was showcased recently at the Automechanika Frankfurt, where it received excellent feedback. Following rigorous testing, we are proud to announce the official launch of the Bluetooth QUBE as the first reportable device of its kind in the UK; enabling a robust technician audit trail and logging of vital data to provide safety and peace of mind for operators and consumers alike.”
