TYRETUNE
AI-Optimised Press Planning and Scheduling for Solid and Pneumatic Tyre Plants
Cut planning time from hours to minutes. Increase yield and production efficiency. Reduce boiler fuel costs and CO2 emissions.
Why TyreTune Matters
Tyre curing operations are complex. Press planners must manage mould changes, curing times, shift sequences, press availability, and operator performance — often using manual methods or spreadsheets.
This leads to:
01.
Long planning cycles that delay production
04.
Overruns that spill into the next shift
02.
Frequent mould changes and inefficient sequencing
05.
Steam valves staying open even when presses are idle
03.
No real-time visibility of press status
06.
High fuel consumption and increased CO₂ emissions
TyreTune solves these issues by combining automated press planning with intelligent steam control at each press.
Key Features of TyreTune
Automated Press Planning
TyreTune converts your daily production plan into the most efficient press schedule — in seconds.
-
Minimises mould changes
-
Balances curing loads
-
Prioritises urgent jobs automatically
-
Removes manual guesswork from planning
Smart Steam-Valve Control
Each press is fitted with a TyreTune Control Box containing:
-
A digital steam valve
-
A temperature sensor
-
A simple operator HMI
-
Onboard logic that works with the plan
The system turns steam on only when needed and off the moment curing is complete, preventing unnecessary fuel burn.
Real-Time Press Tracking (Mobile or HMI)
Operators view and update tasks directly through:
-
A mobile interface (WhatsApp-style), or
-
The HMI mounted on each press
This gives planning and management teams instant visibility into:
-
Press status
-
Job progress
-
Delays or overruns
-
Operator performance
Efficiency Dashboards for Management
TyreTune provides clear dashboards showing:
-
Curing cycle performance
-
Steam usage patterns
-
Operator efficiency
-
Press-wise productivity
-
Planned vs. actual run times
-
Daily production throughput
These insights help identify bottlenecks and improve shift performance.
Seamless Integration with Existing Workflows
There is no need to replace existing systems, retrain operators, or restructure processes.
-
No changes to curing recipes
-
No changes to mould setup procedures
-
No ERP reconfiguration
-
No operational disruption
TyreTune simply automates and optimises what your team already does.
Works with Your ERP — Not Against It
Step 1
Upload Your Production Plan
Your team exports the curing plan from your ERP or scheduling system in its current format.
TyreTune instantly ingests and analyses it.
Step 2
TyreTune Generates the Optimal Press Plan
The AI engine evaluates:
-
Mould assignments
-
Press availability
-
Curing times
-
Operator workload
-
Shift schedules
-
Steam demand patterns
Then generates a press plan with significantly fewer mould changes and improved sequencing.
Step 3
Press Operators Receive Job Instructions Automatically
Each operator receives the plan via:
-
Machine-mounted HMI, or
-
Mobile interface
Operators update:
-
Load time
-
Curing completion
-
Unload time
This keeps the plan accurate throughout the shift.
Step 4
Smart Steam Control Reduces Fuel Burn
The TyreTune Control Box ensures:
-
Steam valve opens only during curing
-
Valve automatically shuts off the moment curing temperature is reached
-
Idle presses consume zero steam
-
Steam supply becomes more predictable and stable
-
The boiler runs more efficiently
This is where major fuel savings occur.
Step 5
Managers Track Everything in One Place
Dashboards show:
-
Press efficiency
-
Operator performance
-
Steam savings
-
Curing cycle variations
-
Production status
Shift meetings become simpler, faster, and more data-driven.
