Lecture on RFID Tagging as Standardized Measure by Michelin

New Insights into Michelin’s Tagged Tires at the Think WIOT Day Automotive & IIOT

On March 16th, Christophe Duc, RFID Initiative Leader at MICHELIN will give a talk on “MICHELIN RFID Implementation in Tires: What’s New?”. Since 2012, Michelin has installed RFID tags in serial production tires for trucks and buses, and since 2019 also in tires for passenger cars.

Michelin strongly believes that RFID tags in tires is the newest industry standard to help continuously track products throughout the entire lifecycle, and not only in logistics or in an industrial workflow. More and more car manufacturers are specifying RFID as a standard identification system for their tires. With the most advanced car manufacturers, MICHELIN is also working on advanced features: the vehicle would use RFID to know at any moment which tires are on the vehicle and adapt the respective electronics accordingly.

In the future, it will be possible to adapt the control of driving dynamics (ESP, PSM, DSC, etc.) to the tire characteristics (winter or summer tires, tire dimensions). The electronic systems can thus be automatically adjusted to the braking, acceleration and curving behavior of the tires. Michelin is far from “going it alone” with RFID; rather, they are early adapters to the technology and specifications which have been issued as ISO 20909, 209010, 20911 and 20912 as global standards for tires in 2019 and 2020.
