BANF and Silicon Labs Digitize the "Last Analog Domain" with Intelligent Tire Monitoring Solution
The battery-free system delivers continuous 4 kHz tire data for predictive maintenance and fleet optimization using magnetic resonance wireless power, BANF said.
- Today BANF and Silicon Labs announced a battery‑free, 4 kHz in‑tire sensing system for autonomous vehicles, using Silicon Labs' BG22 Bluetooth SoC.
- Faced with batteries that degrade in vehicle tires due to high heat and centrifugal force, BANF adopted a wireless power approach via magnetic resonance to digitize the last analog domain for predictive maintenance and route optimization.
- Measuring at 4 kHz, BANF's iSensor captures 3‑axis acceleration, pressure, temperature and tread depth, processing signals inside the tire to detect issues like wheel‑nut loosening.
- The collaboration positions tires as continuous data assets enabling predictive maintenance and fleet optimization, and the design win underscores IoT use cases linked to Texas Instruments' pending $231‑per‑share acquisition of Silicon Labs.
- For fleets, deployment will require a vehicle‑mounted Smart Profiler and installation, with market reactions being mixed despite positive news and shareholder review questions about deal fairness.
