O que RoboTire faz

In a fleet-centric world where everything is delivered to your doorstep, cost-per-mile and uptime are all that matter. Vehicles will be driving more miles and the decreased complexity of electric motors will fundamentally change the automotive service industry. ROBOTIRE will bring manufacturing-level automation to vehicle servicing. Tires are the perfect vertical to tackle first because they are future-proof (tires are going nowhere) and scale from luxury personal automobiles to freight-centric big-rigs. The current tire changing industry is entrenched with an aging workforce but maintains strong margins. We will build and deploy a robotic tire changing container that can change tires in 10 minutes. Our fully-integrated ROBOTIRE containers can be placed inside existing shops, Walmart parking lots or in the middle of a fleet service area hundreds of miles away from a major city. In the medium term, we will expand to brakes, oil, batteries, etc. becoming an uptime assembly line that keeps fleets on the road 24/7 at a fraction of the maintenance cost per mile we see today. In a fleet-centric world, cost-per-mile and uptime are all that matter. ROBOTIRE tackles both.

Automating tire changes with robotics

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building a robotic tire-changing system that fits inside a container. It automates the full tire change process, aiming to cut turnaround time to about 10 minutes. Our containerized robots can be placed in fleet yards or retail parking lots, servicing everything from personal cars to big rigs. Down the line, we'll expand to other vehicle maintenance tasks, creating a continuous uptime assembly line for fleets.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Plymouth, Michigan, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Plymouth is in the heart of the automotive industry, close to fleet operators and suppliers. Being local to our customers and hardware supply chain is critical for iterating on this robotics-heavy product.
