Nokian Tyres' new digital service: SnapSkan

SnapSkan is a new digital service introduced by Nokian Tyres and Vianor. Its groundbreaking technology knows the condition of the tyres even better than the driver. SnapSkan is an entirely new way of measuring the tread depth and safety of tyres quickly and efficiently thanks to 3D scanning technology. The automated drive-over scanner reads the tyres while a camera identifies the vehicle based on the registration number. When the scan is complete, the driver can opt to receive a personal tyre report by text message or email free of charge, regardless of which manufacturer's tyres are fitted to the car. No separate equipment need to be installed in the vehicle itself. The SnapSkan service will appear along drivers' everyday routes in locations such as car parks. The service will be provided in collaboration with the Vianor tyre and car service chain, from where the user can easily request a quote for new safe tyres. The technical solution was developed in collaboration with Finnish technology partners Futurice and Affecto. The entire service is enabled by unique 3D scanning technology patented by British Sigmavision. www.nokiantyres.com/snapskan
