Automated Tire Unveils SmartBay Robotic Platform for Tire Services

Automated Tire has emerged from stealth and introduced SmartBay, a robotic system that automates key automotive service tasks, announced in a press release. The platform is designed to perform tire changes, wheel balancing, and vehicle inspections using robotics, computer vision, and machine learning.

SmartBay is built to adapt its actions for each vehicle rather than following fixed routines. It processes visual and sensor data in real time to determine the correct sequence of operations. The company states that this approach reduces manual intervention and improves precision in service execution.

The system aims to help automotive dealerships and service centers address labor shortages and safety concerns related to manual tire changes. It is also expected to increase service bay throughput by reducing the time required for tire replacement and related maintenance tasks.
