PitPro has brought its first tire-changing robot into commercial service in Canada, the company announced. The startup says the automated system can replace all four tires on a vehicle in less than 15 minutes, a claim reported by TechCrunch.
The deployment marks a milestone for the company, which has been developing the technology to speed up a routine but time-consuming task. TechCrunch's report does not specify which locations or vehicle types are covered, only that the robot is now live in Canada.
As this is the sole source of the announcement, the 15-minute figure and the deployment status rest on PitPro's own statements. No independent verification or customer response has been reported yet.
