Railnova provides predictive maintenance and fleet management solutions for railway fleets. Their all-inone hardware and software platform enables operators to continuously build return on experience: with the Railster (real-time monitoring device) and Railfleet (fleet and data management platform) operators are able to explain breakdowns and prevent them in the future, thereby reducing corrective maintenance costs and optimising preventive maintenance processes.

The Railster ensures safe access to real-time data, so that railway operators can confirm predictive diagnostics in the cloud via rule-based or machine-learning alerts, and dispatch digital work orders to their various internal ERP and MMS systems or subcontractor workflows.

The multi-company Railfleet software fills the gap between asset data and maintenance management systems. Operators, maintainers and lessors can efficiently manage their mixed fleets online, turn asset data into predictive alerts and condition-based maintenance orders, and automate ECM day-to-day management. The Railfleet open APIs enable clients to push work orders to their existing maintenance management systems or their external partner systems.

We have developped a Railway certified solution, STIM-TRAIN, that connect train’s equipement and boost the operational maintenance of rolling stock. It is composed of a Generic IoT Box (RAILBOX), and a cellular gateway (RAILGATE). RAILBOX is completely autonomous (with an embedded battery) and wireless. This makes it very easy to install on legacy equipment, enabling advanced predictive maintenance of assets on-board such as water/lubricant/sand tanks, doors/HVAC, pantograph etc. The RAILGATE bridges the RAILBOX to legacy wired train network and/or a 3G/4G network. STIM-TRAIN leverages the latest technologies of the industrial IoT, and adapt them to the railway industry.

STIMIO provides remote monitoring IoT solutions for railway companies to optimise operations, enable condition-based & predictive maintenance, reduce safety risks and increase service availability.

STIMIO’s end-to-end solutions are composed of three main components:

The data acquisition based on railway certified and battery-powered devices endowed with AI and Edge Computing capabilities,
The connectivity to transmit the data over LPWAN or cellular networks,
The IoT platform to process the data, interface with customer IT systems, define patterns with prediction algorithms, manage the devices remotely and provide relevant insights to take actions.

Benefits of our IoT solutions:

Operational reliability: proactive management & suppression of failures-to-come,
Enhanced rolling stock reliability & availability: remote inspection & “pit-stop” preparation,
Cost reduction: drop in duration and number of maintenance tasks & resources needed,
Risk management: better insight & decision-making in operational centres,
QoS: guarantee of service, higher customer satisfaction & comfort,
Sustainability: extended assets lifetime.

HBK provides a complete portfolio of offerings that unite the physical world of sensors, testing and measurement with the digital world of simulation, modelling software and analysis. By creating a scalable and open data acquisition hardware, software and simulation ecosystem, product developers can cut time-to-market, drive innovation, and take the lead in a highly competitive global marketplace.

The focus in the railway field is increasing the availability of vehicle and track. With a special focus on maintenance: Material-cost and time management.

The efficient approach is to ensure maximum protection: of the track and vehicle through condition-oriented and predictive maintenance, even in the event of the slightest errors and deviations. This can only be achieved by trend analyses based on highly precise and repeatable measurement data. Repairing or avoiding small errors is also faster and costs less. With following approaches: On-board track monitoring => Vehicles monitor the track during normal operation (measurement of acceleration on bogie, smart panto for overhead line).

On-board vehicle monitoring => Sensors installed on-board the vehicle monitors the vehicle.

Wayside train measurement and monitoring => Assessment of the vehicles’ running quality (wheel profile, wheel shape, striking angle, instability, Y/Q, etc.) using TSI SPOT analysis.

Intelligent linking and processing of all three systems is the key to efficient predictive maintenance. We provide solutions.
