Anyline Insights – Moving from Capture to Intelligence

Until now, the data needed by these industries has been locked away in objects that are not connected to the internet for reasons of cost or practicality. Using AI and Machine Learning, Anyline enables users to capture text or measurements from an object and instantly access the digital data. This brings obvious operational efficiency benefits when compared with manual data capture, but there are also huge benefits that can be derived from analyzing the newly available digital data.  

Automotive aftermarket is a good example of an industry that Anyline is in a unique position to transform. We are the only solutions provider that can access digital data in real-time from a broad range of automotive OEMs, fleet operators, tire manufacturers and retailers. While telemetry generates a wealth of data for manufacturers from on-board sensors, there are many areas of the vehicle that remain unconnected or where data is not accessible to everyone. Anyline enables anyone to capture data from these automotive ‘blind spots’. With any mobile device, users can identify vehicles (VIN and License Plate) and people (Driver’s License), read tire sidewall information (DOT/TIN, Tire Size, Make & Model) and measure tire condition (Tread Depth). 

As automotive retailers are seeing margins squeezed, tires are becoming an increasingly important revenue stream. Anyline Tire & Vehicle Analytics enables stores and service centers to instantly identify worn, recalled or old tires, not just on customer vehicles but across their entire inventory. This allows them to more accurately forecast demand, prioritize selling older stock and order replacement tires ‘just in time’ to avoid customer delays. There are up to 270 million dangerous tires on the road in the US alone. By helping to identify and replace those tires, Anyline is simultaneously supporting business to grow revenue and most importantly, to save lives.  

For fleet operators it is critical to keep vehicles on the road running as efficiently as possible at the lowest cost per mile. With Anyline Tire & Vehicle Analytics, fleet companies can for the first time compare the wear of various tire brands and models across different vehicles and geographies, in order to find the best performing tire for any set of circumstances. This information can also be used to assess driver performance and accurately predict when tires will need retreading or reinflation to extend the lifetime of tires and maximize fuel efficiency. By having an overview of tire condition across their fleet, operators can optimize tire changes and reduce expenditure on tires by 30% and more.
