Schrader offering single SKU EZ-sensor

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (July 22, 2015) — Schrader International Inc. has unveiled an enhancement to its EZ-sensor line.

The company is offering a fully programmable, OE-replacement TPMS sensor. The single SKU EZ-sensor reduces inventory investment and maximizes bay efficiency, according to Schrader, which is part of Sensata Technologies. Additionally, with programming speed of about 10 seconds, EZ-sensor boosts the speed and accuracy of servicing TPMS-equipped vehicles. This single SKU covers more than 100 million TPMS-equipped vehicles on the road.

“Schrader remains the clear leader at the forefront of the global TPMS evolution,” said Frank Frederick, leader of the firm's North American aftermarket business for TPMS.

“Groundbreaking capabilities like our new single SKU EZ-sensor are imperative to the continued rapid growth of TPMS.”

The single SKU EZ-sensor combines Schrader's 314.9, 315 and 433 MHz EZ-sensors — Part No. 33000, No. 33200 — into a single part number: No. 33500. Schrader claimed that other competitive “pre-programmed” sensors require as many as four to six SKUs, with additional SKUs needed to support new coverage.
