Revolutionizing Tire Management in Racing with Piedrafita and the Royal Automobile Sport Federation
With a rich history spanning more than 30 years, Piedrafita Systems has established itself as a leading force in developing cutting-edge mobility solutions across diverse sectors, from motorsport to defence. In partnership with the Royal Automobile Sport Federation (RFEDA), a division of the well–known FIA, Piedrafita embarked on designing a comprehensive digital platform encompassing hardware, technology, and backend systems. The RFEDA sought to leverage digital scanning to ensure tire integrity during races and promote road safety worldwide. Piedrafita’s expertise was instrumental in creating a mobile solution tailored to their unique tire management needs, exemplifying their commitment to innovation and excellence.
The Challenge of Enhancing Tire Management
As part of their involvement in governing international racing series, FIA and RFEDA officials face the daunting task of managing tires from racing vehicles, necessitating an efficient tire identification process. Traditionally, they relied on bulky single use scanning devices for tire barcode identification, which lacked mobility and functionality. Piedrafita and the RFEDA recognized the need for a more agile and robust scanning solution, prompting them to develop a mobile scanning solution. This initiative aimed to revolutionize tire management in racing, offering enhanced mobility and scanning capacity to streamline the identification process.
Anyline Integration: Transforming Tire Marking and Verification
Piedrafita Systems leveraged Anyline for the marking and verification of tires during races, revolutionizing the tire management landscape. The tool is called SICCOM and was developed to specifically control the technical area of motorsport, where tires play a vital role for each racing series and championship. Through the scanning of small barcodes on each tire sidewall, Anyline ensures accurate and efficient tire identification, even under varying readability and scanning conditions. The integration of Anyline has been a game-changer, with Piedrafita deploying it across championships of the RFEDA.
Notably, during a rally coinciding with the FIA, Anyline outperformed traditional scanning machines, showcasing its superior efficiency and reliability. RFEDA Solution, powered by Piedrafita using Anyline technology, received acclaim from FIA with its ability to decode damaged barcodes surpassing traditional methods.
“The capabilities of the Anyline scanning solution have been phenomenal for our team as we continue to actively work with both the RFEDA and the FIA. We are on the right development track and plan to incorporate into several championships around the world, further proving that our partnership with Anyline is one of continued success.”
