Wheel-rail monitoring for predictive maintenance.
Despite growing awareness of predictive maintenance as a means of reducing cost and improving reliability in the rail industry, its use is still limited.
Operators can struggle to get accurate and useful data from their infrastructure and rolling stock in time to draw the right conclusions and plan corrective actions. Noise and vibration monitoring can close this gap by allowing data collection on a daily basis which enables the early identification of trends and emerging issues. Field data indicates that the information derived from this type of monitoring is particularly useful to optimize an operator’s grinding and noise management programmes leading to cost savings and enhancing their reputation.
