PARTNERSHIP NEWS & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
LEMATEC and AssetFindr Jointly Develop VIRTUS Connected Tyre Inspection Product for Planned Late-2026 Launch
Hardware engineering and software development come together to connect tyre-pressure and tread-depth measurements with digital inspection records.
20 October 2026 — LEMATEC and Indonesian software partner AssetFindr are jointly developing a connected tyre inspection product under the VIRTUS brand, with launch planned for late 2026. The collaboration combines LEMATEC's hardware engineering and manufacturing with AssetFindr's software development to link tyre-pressure and tread-depth measurements with the DigiSpect Tyre digital inspection workflow.
Partnership at a glance
LEMATEC is responsible for hardware engineering, firmware integration and manufacturing. AssetFindr develops the software and application workflow. VIRTUS is the brand used for the jointly developed product, while DigiSpect Tyre is the accompanying digital inspection application. Final availability will be confirmed as launch preparations progress.
Connecting measurements with inspection records
For fleet teams using paper forms, an inspection does not end when the measurements are taken. Readings must still be transcribed, organized and entered into a computer before the record is ready for review. Keeping measurement and recordkeeping separate adds another stage to the inspection process.
The VIRTUS DTP029 combines tyre-pressure and tread-depth measurement in one handheld instrument. Its connected workflow is designed to send readings to DigiSpect Tyre and retain inspection records digitally, reducing the need to copy measured values from handwritten sheets into a separate system.
With digital inspection history and downloadable reports, the development focuses on the complete path from taking a measurement to keeping a usable record. These capabilities support recordkeeping; they do not replace correct measurement technique, visual tyre inspection or professional maintenance decisions.
Complementary expertise in hardware and software
The joint project brings device development and the digital recording workflow into the same engineering effort. Prototype work, application testing and design refinements allow feedback about measurement, handling and data capture to inform development together.
The collaboration connects the following capabilities and product roles:
| Name | Role in the collaboration |
|---|---|
| LEMATEC | Hardware engineering, firmware integration and product manufacturing. |
| AssetFindr | Software and application development, supported by application requirements and field feedback. |
| VIRTUS | The product brand used for the jointly developed tyre inspection product. |
| DigiSpect Tyre | The digital tyre inspection application used with the connected product. |
A handcrafted gift reflecting a valued partnership
During a visit to LEMATEC, the Indonesian partners presented the company with a handcrafted golden arowana artwork. Representatives from LEMATEC and AssetFindr posed together with the framed gift in the LEMATEC showroom, marking a personal moment in the ongoing collaboration.

The arowana is associated with good fortune and prosperity in some Chinese cultural and feng shui traditions. Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries also describes these cultural associations. For LEMATEC, the thoughtful gift is a valued reminder of the trust and friendship built through working together.
Planned late-2026 launch and continued cooperation
The VIRTUS connected tyre inspection product is planned for launch in late 2026. Final availability and release details will be confirmed as preparations progress. Fleet operators and prospective partners can contact AssetFindr for information about DigiSpect Tyre, demonstration arrangements and VIRTUS launch updates.
LEMATEC looks forward to building on the collaboration with AssetFindr, bringing hardware and software expertise closer to the needs of inspection teams. The VIRTUS project represents a new milestone in that relationship, with the golden arowana gift offering a fitting expression of hopes for lasting cooperation and shared prosperity.
