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.
