Computer vision tire inspection replaces manual tread depth gauges and visual eyeball checks with AI cameras that measure tread depth to 0.1mm precision, detect sidewall bulges and cracks, identify uneven wear patterns, and flag non-compliant tyres before they leave the depot — all in under 30 seconds per axle set. For fleet operators in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, Australia, and UAE, tyre failures remain the leading cause of roadside breakdowns and DOT out-of-service violations. Oxmaint's computer vision tire inspection automates the entire tyre assessment workflow — from camera capture to compliance record to work order — eliminating the inconsistency and missed findings that make manual tyre inspection a fleet liability.
Oxmaint CV cameras measure tread depth, detect sidewall damage, and flag compliance failures automatically — across every axle, every inspection, with zero manual measurement required.
Federal and international tyre regulations define minimum tread depth thresholds — but the safety-critical window begins long before the legal minimum. Oxmaint CV cameras measure tread depth continuously and alert fleet managers when tyres enter the caution zone — not when they've already crossed the legal limit.
Tread Depth Safety Zones
AI measures to 0.1mm — alerting in the caution zone, not at the legal minimum
New (8–12mm)
Full grip — no action required
Good (5–8mm)
Monitor quarterly
Caution (3–5mm)
AI alert — schedule replacement
Legal Min (1.6mm)
Replace immediately
Oxmaint AI alerts at 3mm caution zone — giving fleet managers 2–6 weeks to plan a replacement before the legal minimum is reached
Five Tire Failure Modes CV Detects
Tread depth is only one of five distinct tyre failure modes. Each has a different visual signature, a different risk profile, and a different intervention timeline. See how Oxmaint CV models detect each failure mode across your specific tyre brands and vehicle classes.

Technology Stack — How CV Tire Inspection Works
Accurate tyre inspection requires multiple data sources working together. Oxmaint's CV tyre system layers 3D structured-light depth measurement, visual pattern recognition, and digital twin simulation to produce results that are more accurate and more actionable than manual inspection at a fraction of the time cost.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY
"We used to find non-compliant tyres at roadside inspections — after the driver was already en route. Oxmaint's CV system catches every tyre below 3mm during the depot departure scan. We've had zero tyre-related OOS violations in the past 11 months."
— Head of Fleet Compliance, National Distribution Company, Birmingham, UK
Zero tyre OOS violations in 11 months. 23% tyre cost reduction across 160-vehicle fleet.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is computer vision tread depth measurement vs. a manual gauge?
Oxmaint's 3D structured-light camera measures tread depth to 0.1mm accuracy — matching or exceeding certified manual gauge readings with 96% correlation verified across fleet trials.
How fast is a full axle set inspection?
A full 10-tyre commercial vehicle inspection takes under 30 seconds as the vehicle drives over the camera bed — compared to 5–8 minutes for manual gauge measurement per tyre.
Does CV tire inspection integrate with SAP and existing CMMS platforms?
Yes — Oxmaint connects to SAP PM, Oracle Fleet, and any CMMS via REST API. Tyre findings auto-create work orders with tyre position, depth reading, and recommended action — no manual entry.
Can it detect uneven wear caused by alignment or suspension problems?
Yes — one-sided wear patterns are detected at 89% accuracy. Oxmaint flags both the tyre replacement need and the likely root cause (alignment or suspension) for the same work order.
What hardware is needed for a depot installation?
A flush-mounted camera bed installed at the depot exit lane. No ramps or driver interaction required — vehicles drive over at normal exit speed and inspections complete automatically.
Are tyre inspection records stored and compliance-ready?
Every inspection is stored with vehicle VIN, tyre position, depth reading, timestamp, and image capture. Records satisfy DOT, DVSA, and EU tyre compliance documentation requirements.
