The rail industry faces constant challenges, among which wheel Rolling Contact Fatigue poses significant concerns. RCF, resulting from repetitive loading cycles on rail surfaces, is a frequent and prevailing damage mechanism for wheel pans. Our cutting-edge sensor technology, SmartBugs® and Smart Oil Plug®, are engineered to detect RCF and ride quality issues in real time. The benefits? ✅ Early Detection: Detect RCF issues early, enabling timely intervention and preventive maintenance. ✅ Cost Savings: Reduce maintenance costs by extending the lifespan of wheelsets and minimising unexpected failures. ✅ Improved Safety: Enhance passenger and cargo transportation safety by preventing rail failures and accidents. ✅ Increased Efficiency: Optimise rail operations, adhere to schedules and improve overall transportation efficiency. ✅ Data-Driven Decision Making: Utilise trends and data for informed decision-making, enhancing maintenance schedules and infrastructure planning. By providing early alerts and trends, our devices empower rail operators with invaluable insights, allowing proactive measures to prevent further damage and costly downtime. The graph demonstrates the effectiveness of wheel dressing following early alerts, allowing timely wheelset turning and extending wheel pan lifespan.

Solving the most complex rolling stock and rail engineering challenges requires state-of-the-art equipment and tech. Here are some of the innovative applications we use: - Two in-track weighbridges that get freighted around the country. - 90 channels of data logging on dynamic testing to measure vehicle output. - Assessing suspension performance both statically and dynamically, as well as vibration, ensuring a vehicle won't shake itself off the track at high speed. - The ability to measure sound level and light intensity.
