frequently asked questions

Questions about the Ilha Norte Case Study

What is the Ilha Norte Case Study?
The Ilha Norte case study shows how Canasvieiras Transportes — an urban public transport company in Florianópolis with +90 years in the market — adopted Prolog Tire management and achieved +34 thousand inspections performed, +1.6 thousand tire services and +2.1 thousand registered and managed tires.
What results did Ilha Norte achieve with Prolog?
Ilha Norte recorded +34 thousand tire inspections performed, +1.6 thousand tire services completed and +2.1 thousand registered tires. Beyond the figures, the company gained accuracy in the information collected, automatic ERP integration and faster, more reliable diagnoses.
What is Ilha Norte (Canasvieiras Transportes)?
Ilha Norte, also known as Canasvieiras Transportes, is an urban public transport company in Florianópolis (SC) that has operated since 1927. With more than 90 years in the market and a family business character, the company implements modern processes to optimize its passenger transport operations.
Which Prolog module does Ilha Norte use?
Ilha Norte uses Prolog Tire management. The solution includes the inspection kit (electronic tread probe) for precise tread depth and calibration inspections, with API integration into the company's ERP for automatic updates of collected data.
How does Prolog integrate with Ilha Norte's ERP?
Prolog systems integrate with Ilha Norte's ERP through an API. This means that data collected during each inspection — tread depth, calibration and wear — is automatically transferred to the company's general management system, eliminating typing errors and speeding up the diagnosis cycle.
How did Prolog improve tire diagnosis at Ilha Norte?
Before Prolog, Ilha Norte had slow analysis times, tread depth and pressure measurement errors, and incorrect ERP data. After implementation, data began to be collected accurately by the electronic tread probe and transferred automatically through an API. The result: faster, more reliable diagnoses based on actual data.
What did Marcos from Ilha Norte say about Prolog?
"The accuracy of the information and the reading speed of our ERP system changed the speed and reliability of wheel-and-tire assembly diagnoses." — Marcos, in charge of fleet management at Ilha Norte.
Is Prolog suitable for bus fleets?
Yes. Although Prolog is widely used in truck fleets, the Ilha Norte case study demonstrates the system's effectiveness for urban bus fleets as well. The solution can be adapted to the operation's profile and the ERP used, with API integration.
How does tire management affect passenger safety?
Tires with uneven wear, incorrect calibration or a lug tread have a higher risk of failures in service. At Ilha Norte, precise management with Prolog made it possible to identify and correct these issues preventively — reducing service interruptions and increasing safety for the passengers transported daily.
What is Prolog Tire management?
Prolog Tire management is a module combining an electronic tread probe (inspection kit) with control software. It makes it possible to measure pressure and tread depth accurately, record each inspection digitally, follow each tire's life cycle and generate automatic reports. It integrates with corporate ERPs through an API.
How did the electronic tread probe improve accuracy at Ilha Norte?
Prolog's electronic tread probe eliminates the subjectivity of manual measurements. At Ilha Norte, tread depth and calibration measurement errors — which generated incorrect ERP data — were eliminated. Marcos highlighted the equipment's precision as the main benefit, together with the accuracy of information transferred to the ERP.
Does Ilha Norte use any module besides Tire management?
In the reported case study, Ilha Norte exclusively uses Prolog Tire management. The distinctive feature of this case study is the API integration with the company's ERP, which automates the transfer of data collected in inspections to the general management system.
