Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are now being installed on automobiles around the world. These systems place sensors within the wheels of the vehicles and these sensors communicate with the car's onboard computer. The TPMS is intended to warn a driver of pressure conditions that may cause tire failure. Because each wheel has its own sensor, and each car must not confuse its sensors with those found on another vehicle, each of these TPMS sensors has a unique identifier. ATEQ has developed TPMS tools for automotive assembly lines, wheel assembly plants and service centres.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for automotive assembly lines has a series of units that dialog with the TPMS sensor, extract the unique identifier from each sensor and then provide this information to the vehicle assembly line network so that the car's onboard computer can be programmed to recognize its wheels.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for wheel assembly lines is designed to trigger the TPMS sensor at the time of assembly on a wheel rim to ensure that it is functioning properly. This TPMS sensor is often then returned to its sleeping state until it the wheels are assembled on the vehicle.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for service centres is a handheld tool. It is intended to be used by anyone who must replace a TPMS sensor for a vehicle. The unique identifier of the TPMS sensor is available on the LCD display and this identifier can then be entered in the vehicle's onboard computer using the appropriate automotive service computer.
