RoboTire's tire-changing system use state-of-the-art robotics and advanced algorithms to change tires while maintaining the highest levels of safety quickly and accurately for both customers and technicians, RoboTire said. The system can change tires in as little as 25 minutes, significantly reducing service time compared with traditional methods.

RoboTire plans to launch more systems in the coming months and seeks new opportunities.
