Michelin And Sonatus Develop Digital Twin For Tyre Health Monitoring

Michelin has teamed up pinch Sonatus, a master successful intelligence-driven software-defined conveyance technology, to create a predictive tyre wellness and attraction system.

The task partners intend to show nan latest developments astatine CES 2026 successful Las Vegas (6-9 January), wherever they will show really Michelin’s SmartLoad and SmartWear technologies, deployed via Sonatus’ AI Director, tin present real-time insights into tyre capacity straight wrong nan vehicle.

Some accepted tyre monitoring systems trust connected unit sensors aliases mileage-based estimates, which do not seizure inputs specified arsenic braking intensity, conveyance load, cornering forces and different move conditions that exert forces connected tyres.

However, Michelin’s SmartLoad and SmartWear models analyse these high-frequency conveyance signals to supply continuous, meticulous insights into nan existent wellness of a vehicle’s tyres, enabling fleets and drivers to optimise tyre usage, amended safety, and trim operational costs.

Michelin believes that software-based tyre monitoring has nan imaginable to switch bequest sensor hardware and its associated costs, efficaciously virtualising nan sensors and reducing nan measure of materials (BOM), which nan expert patient Frost & Sullivan estimates could lend to costs savings of US$1.68 cardinal by 2030.

Michelin has applied its expertise successful tyre physics, modelling and data, and mixed it pinch Sonatus’s precocious in-vehicle AI orchestration, and will show to CES attendees really nan Michelin Tire Digital Twin, utilized for predictive maintenance, tin beryllium brought into operations astatine scale.

Sonatus’ Collector AI strategy enables Michelin to calibrate its algorithms for caller automakers, while Sonatus AI Director tin supply secure, containerised deployment crossed a wide scope of physics power units (ECUs). Together, these technologies let Michelin’s proprietary models to tally astatine nan edge, successful nan vehicle, to trim reliance connected nan Cloud and protect delicate data.

At CES 2026, Michelin will show nan capabilities of its predictive tyre intelligence systems done a move objection astir a 1970 Ford Bronco retrofitted pinch Sonatus technology.

Visitors will beryllium shown really SmartLoad and SmartWear alteration real-time insights and see, via Michelin’s MyTires application, really these models toggle shape earthy conveyance information into actionable insights.

Visit nan Sonatus booth (#5439) astatine CES 2026 successful nan West Hall of nan Las Vegas Convention Center from 6-9 January to spot for yourself.
