Italsensor® 3.0evo – The new generation of universal TPMS sensors

Italmatic, leader in the TPMS market, thanks to skills and investments in this field, developed the new generation of universal TPMS sensors Italsensor 3.0evo characterized by the use of innovative technologies aimed to simplify the work of the tyre shop, to optimize procedures in industrial environments of wheels assembling and to offer an excellent quality-price ratio.

Italsensor 3.0evo integrates three different programming techniques in the same product:

It is configurable in approx. 3 seconds (protocols are already stored in the sensor)

It is programmable in the traditional way, in approx. 20 seconds, never getting obsolete

It is Fit&Go multi-protocol, that is ready for installation without programming activity, exactely like a OE sensor, for a selection of vehicles (multi-protocol = 1 only sensor able to replace many OE sensors). Default italsensor 3.0evo is delivered with Fit&Go Daimler Mercedes & BMW (FG31) pre-installed.

Besides the dedicated tool proposed by Italmatic, the sensor is configurable and programmable also by most common programming tools, for example Ateq, Bartec, Tecnomotor.

Italsensor 3.0evo is also available in version “OE-Replica ” that is pre-programmed for a single protocol, blocked and non-reprogrammable, behaving in such a way exactly like a OE even keeping the possibility of cloning of the ID number useful to make the relearning procedure in ECU unnecessary.

The exclusive functionality SmartTouch, developed and introduced by Italmatic as first in the market of TPMS in autumn 2019, allows to plan the sensor in milliseconds, simply grazing it by an Android or Windows smartphone or by the Italsensor SmartTouch PAD.

The function SmartTouch uses the same technology (NFC “Near Field Communication”) today commonly employed by credit cards.

Besides assuring max. safety during data transfer, its application in TPMS environment has the advantage to make the programming times imperceptibles (being milliseconds) and to eliminate totally the risk of interferences (in fact this technology assures that the programmed sensor is exclusively the one grazing the device).

The traditional technology of communications radio frequencies LF/RF used for common sensors, besides being slower, has a wider field of action (sometimes also over one-meter distance), making possible mistakes during programming (possibility that a sensor different from the one positioned in front of the tool is programmed).

Consequently italsensor 3.0evo SmartTouch sensor lends itself perfectly to answer the requirements not only of the small tyre shop which doesn’t need  to invest anymore in tpms programming tools, having the possibility to use a smartphone, but also of the most articulated requirements of industrial environments assembling thousands wheels per day and needing to optimize and to trace the programming procedure of the sensor, integrating it with automatisms to the informatics system (automatic programming of sensor without human intervention).

Therefore, Italmatic built industrial solutions end-to-end enabled by technology NFC SmartTouch that, by a limited initial investment, allow complex companies to obtain important benefits in the procedure.

Italsensor 3.0evo gets positioned at the max. levels of coverage (approx. 99,5%) and it is the ideal solution in terms of technological content, quality and price, to satisfy the after-market requirements of the European car fleet.

Configurable in 3 seconds through most popular programming tools (Ateq, Texa, Tecnomotor, Italmatic, etc.) , with a coverage approx 99,5% of the European vehicles. Configuration is possible because the protocols are already stored in the sensor memory.

Programmable in traditional way, in approx 10-15 seconds, when the TPMS protocol for the new vehicles has not been yet stored inside the sensor and made available for configuration; in this way the sensor never becomes obsolete.

Italsensor 3.0evo and 3.0evoST sensors come pre-programmed for approx 200 vehicles including the majority of Mercedes, BMW, AlfaRomeo, Chrysler, FCA, Ssangyong, manufactured after 2016 and are 100% programmable for any other make model and year covered by italsensor®. Look at the coverage list to identify the list of vehicles pre-programmed.

The exclusive SmartTouch feature (NFC) allows to program italsensor 3.0evoST in milliseconds, simply positioning the sensor nearby an Android or Windows smartphone, or thhrough the Italsensor SmartTouch PAD. This technology ensures total absence of interferences.

Fit&Go is the technical italsensor platform  which supports the possibility to pre-program in the internal memory of the sensor a special customized multi-app set to allow the installation of the sensor without need of programming on a selection of vehicles belonging to different brands and which use different OE tpms. The mult-app are developed in customized way to meet specific needs of large customers. The Ready4 Mercedes/BMW coming as a default in any 3.0evo and 3.0evoST is an example of multi-app. There is 1:N relationship between the multi-app and the OE sensors which are covered.

OE Replica is italsensor pre-programmed for a specific OE sensor (1:1 relationship). The sensor is ready to be installed on the vehicles which mount the original one. It is simple to use like an OE sensor with advantage of cost competitiveness.

Italsensor 3.0evo SmartTouch lends itself perfectly to answer to the requirements of most articulated industrial environments, assembling thousands of wheels per day and needing to optimize and to trace the programming procedure of the sensor, integrating it with automatism to the informatics system (automatic programming of the sensor without human intervention).

Therefore, Italmatic built industrial solutions end-to-end enabled by technology NFC SmartTouch that, by a limited initial investment, allow complex companies to obtain important benefits in the procedure.
