Vehicle fingerprint

Optimise the maintenance of your rolling stocks’ running gears. Our measuring devices observe rail vehicles automatically and contact-free during operation. With this analysis data, it is possible to reach the technical-economic optimum in maintaining wheelsets.

High standards in vehicle monitoring

A large number of sensors and measuring systems along the railway lines permanently record the condition and running behaviour of vehicles during operation. Running gears are observed and checked for physical characteristics when passing at operational speed. This is our contribution to a high availability of railway infrastructure. With this data, maintenance measures can be optimally planned and therefore costs can be reduced.
