Diagnostic and Monitoring Technologies for Rolling Stock

Innovative setting, signaling & monitoring technologies are an important part of today's railway systems.

Railways hugely benefit from comprehensive and systemic digitalization, diagnostic and monitoring systems, data analytics and preventive maintenance regimes. 

We have developed a world leading range of monitoring solutions, which provide our customers with the tools to implement smarter maintenance practices and prevent asset failures. We can deliver turnkey supply and implementation of our products to our customers around the world. A variety of service contracts can be arranged, depending on the very needs of our customers, securing the desired level of availability of the systems and operation. 

Products for rolling stock monitoring

The Monitoring Suite

The simplicity and flexibility of the Software Monitoring for Rolling Stock with zentrak CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE and the zentrak MODULAR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM are achieved through a choice of functions and applications. The structure of hardware and software offers a way to build up a monitoring suite that exactly fits to your needs and budgets. Start with basic investments and let the system naturally grow over the coming years.

Nature has often proven to be a good teacher. Keeping this in mind, we have created a modular structure of railway diagnostic and monitoring technologies.

Employing a modular principle allows a simple and cost effective design. Applied to technology this means:

  • Simplicity: Applications and functions combine easily.
  • Flexibility: Structure is modular and expendable.
  • Cost Efficiency: Common components achieve synergy.

This natural structure fulfills all current and future requirements for safe and economic operations.

Today's railway infrastructure contains a wide range of measurement systems. Monitoring and alarming are core functions. Diagnostic applications can be added for advanced analysis and decision support. Next generation systems are able to turn various measurement data into valuable information.

Data evaluations and analysis for relevant decisions

On behalf of our customers, we evaluate the data generated by the diagnostic and monitoring systems and make it available to them in a readable and interpretable form. In conjunction with our global experience, we work with our customers to derive recommendations for action from this data that are precisely tailored to their process landscape. Data evaluation enables customers to use their systems economically, saving money during ongoing operations and avoiding interruptions. This is achieved through the continuous use of data when the systems are connected directly to the service center via a data connection, or through offline data transmitted by customers as needed.

We record the status of your systems directly, and our zentrak CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE evaluates the relevant information. This enables optimized system management, efficient maintenance planning, and avoids unnecessary preventive maintenance.

Our zentrak CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE enables you to directly record the status and analyze selected data. This ensures optimized asset management and efficient maintenance planning and helps to avoid unnecessary preventive maintenance cycles.

With over 20 years of experience in the diagnosis and monitoring of rail vehicles, we provide fleet managers with decision support and condition-based maintenance data where and when they need it. Our devices and applications are designed to work with controllers, maintenance personnel, and signalers, giving your railway access at every level to the information needed to maintain your performance on the track.

Our zentrak MODULAR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM solutions for diagnosing and monitoring rail vehicles are based on a variety of measurement technologies: infrared, fiber optic, acoustic, and optical sensors can be used to optimize the measurement location. The sensors are designed to withstand all environmental conditions and enable continuous monitoring of rolling stock equipment.
