RoboTire, a Michigan-based robotics and automation startup that designs and deploys systems to change vehicles’ tires, is deploying its fourth-generation tire-changing system at Creamery Tire, Inc., a locally owned and operated tire service center founded in north Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1988.
RoboTire said the partnership with Creamery Tire, offers customers a unique tire-buying experience. RoboTire’s state-of-the-art systems using robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence will aim to improve the overall tire-changing experience for customers in Pennsylvania, the RoboTire team said. RoboTire’s systems can help reduce the current hour-long tire changing experience to less than 25 minutes, allowing shops to serve more cars in a safe and efficient environment.
