Transense Technologies (LON:TRT) announced the full commercial launch of a product it described as the "Swiss Army Knife" of tyre inspection and audit tools.

The launch of its 'iProbe' multi-function tyre inspection tool comes after a long development by its subsidiary Translogik, Transense said today.

The iProbe provides wireless measurement of tread depth, tyre temperature and tyre pressure combined with integrated RFID (Radio  Frequency Identification) tag and TPMS (Temperature Pressure Monitoring System) sensor reading capabilities.

CEO of Transense Technologies Graham Storey said: "We set out to develop the  industry-leading purpose-built tyre inspection tool, and we believe we have achieved that.

"At a time when the cost of tyres and fuel continue to increase at an  alarming  rate,  the  iProbe  provides  an  all-in-one solution to the asset management market for maximising the return on their tyre investment.

"We believe the  iProbe is the 'Swiss Army Knife' of tyre inspection  and audit tools. The  potential  market,  while  already  significant,  is  set to grow rapidly as the requirement to collect data electronically,  accurately and efficiently increases".

Transense believes that by providing a complete tyre inspection solution in a  single wireless  device  brings  new levels of functionality, accuracy and efficiency to the tyre management market, at a market leading price point.

The first  production run of probes has been fully sold to customers which include the world's three largest tyre manufacturers, said the firm.

Additionally, several fleet  providers  around the world have  purchased  the iProbe, and commenced software  integration work at  their expense to  integrate the iProbe with their systems, added the company.
