Description:
2023 RBR50 LogoRoboTire’s automated tire-changing system uses robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to change four tires in under 25 minutes. A typical system involves smaller robotic arms that focus on the bolts of the tires and larger robotic arms that lift the tire off the car and put a new tire back on. The robot, which has been installed at numerous locations around the U.S., aligns the tire with the rim of a car to ensure proper fit and balance.

Analysis:
RoboTire is a unique and innovative solution for the tire-changing process. It delivers value to its customers by improving the efficiency and accuracy of the process, as well as reducing the risk of injury to technicians. The system is also flexible. RoboTire can work with various tire sizes and types, making it capable of changing tires on a variety of vehicles. And, perhaps most importantly, RoboTire is helping accelerate the introduction and growth of robots in more consumer-facing industries, such as automotive service. To date, most robots have been confined to warehouses and research labs. The RoboTire tire-changing system is a truly innovative technology that has the potential to shake up the tire-changing industry. - Brianna Wessling
