Comprehensive solutions for railcars

The Smart Wagon® concept integrates GPS devices and wireless sensors installed on railway wagons, communicating according to the specific needs of each customer. The sensors enable loading monitoring and the identification of risk conditions such as overheated bearings, flat wheels, insufficient pressure, brake block wear, activation of the hand brake, and improper kingpin securing. As a result, they significantly enhance operational safety and support predictive maintenance. In addition, the sensors can monitor a wide range of other parameters, including climatic conditions within the cargo space, door opening and closing, tilt, direction of movement, and other operational data. All sensors are designed to withstand vibrations, harsh weather conditions, and mechanical stress.

TotalFinder IS

Industrial solar-charged GPS unit has a function of communication and monitoring GPS unit, which collects the data from Bluetooth® sensors.

Loading and Bearing Condition Sensor

This wireless sensor allows monitoring of the loading and unloading of a rail car and also monitors the temperature of the bearings. It is also used for flat wheel detection.

Bearing Temperature and Condition Sensor

This wireless sensor monitors bearing temperature and condition and detects flat wheel. Supports early failure detection and predictive maintenance.

Cargo Space Condition Sensor

This wireless sensor monitors whether the values from the load compartment are optimal. The magnetic sensor allows the opening/closing of the cargo compartment to be detected.

Door Status Sensor

This wireless sensor monitors the opening and closing status of the door. The magnetic sensor allows to detect the opening or closing of the cargo compartment of a wagon or container.

Handbrake Engagement Sensor

This wireless sensor detects the activation and deactivation of the handbrake. It ensures control of the braking system, helping to minimise the risk of accidents and increase overall operational efficiency.

Brake Pad Wear Sensor

This wireless sensor measures the distance the brake shoes approach the brake, providing a check of the brake system and indicating when maintenance or replacement is required.

Tensometric Loading Sensor

This wireless sensor with a tensometric sensor monitors wagon loading with +/- 1 % accuracy. This sensor measures the weight of the load through the deformation of the construction.

Brake Block Wear Sensor

This wireless sensor monitors brake block wear and indicates when maintenance or replacement is required.

Pressure Sensor

This wireless sensor monitors measures pressure within the rail car brake systems in the brake cylinder or brake pipe – depending on sensor placement and transmits the pressure value to the supervisory system.

Kingpin Sensor

This wireless sensor detects the presence of the kingpin and verifies proper kingpin locking, playing a crucial role in the prevention of railway accidents and enhancing overall safety.

Compass-based Direction Sensor

This wireless sensor detects the direction of a rail vehicle on the track using integrated compass technology, improving orientation tracking. It measures and transmits values at a configurable interval to a communication and monitoring GPS unit.

Tilt Sensor

This wireless sensor measures tilt angle. The sensor evaluates three states: Active / Intermediate / Inactive. It measures and transmits values at a configurable interval to a communication and monitoring GPS unit.
