Comprehensive solutions for railcars
The Smart Wagon ® concept integrates GPS devices and wireless sensors on the wagon that communicate according to the customer’s needs.
The sensors monitor climatic conditions in the cargo area, load status, identify risks such as overheated bearings, flattened wheels, brake wear and handbrake activation.
All sensors are resistant to vibration, temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress.

Loading & Bearing Condition Sensor
A rail sensor that 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.
Cargo Space Condition Sensor
A rail sensor that monitors whether the values from the load compartment are optimal. The magnetic sensor allows the opening/closing of the cargo compartment to be detected.
Handbrake Engagement Sensor
A rail sensor that 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
A rail 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 Load Sensor
A rail sensor with tensometric sensor to monitor wagon loading with +/- 2% accuracy. This sensor measures the weight of the load through the deformation of the construction.
Make your rail fleet more efficient
Safety and reliability
The Smart Wagon® system continuously monitors the condition of key components such as brake wear, bearing temperature and wheel condition, allowing early detection of potential failures, reducing the risk of accidents and costly repairs.
Optimising cargo management
The sensors provide real-time data on the load on the wagon and the state of the environment in the load compartment, ensuring optimal transport conditions and helping customers to efficiently monitor the cargo in the wagons.
Increased operational efficiency
With remote monitoring and automated reporting from wireless sensors, the system reduces the frequency of the need for physical inspections, reducing operating costs and increasing overall efficiency.
Smart Wagon ® Solution
The Smart Wagon ® concept places a communication and monitoring GPS unit on the wagon, where it communicates with various Bluetooth® sensors according to customer requirements.
Loading, bearing condition and flat wheel detection
Railcar load monitoring, bearing temperature and flat wheel detection.
Cargo hold monitoring
Values from the cargo hold are monitored.
The magnetic sensor allows to detect the opening/closing of the compartment.
Brake pad wear condition
Measures the distance the brake shoes approach and indicates when maintenance or replacement is required.
Handbrake activation and deactivation detection
The sensor detects the activation or deactivation of the handbrake and thus ensures control of the braking system.
Precise loading of wagons
A tensometric sensor is used to monitor the weight of the wagon load with an accuracy of +/-2%.
Communication and monitoring GPS unit
The communication and monitoring GPS unit is placed on the wagon where it communicates with various railway sensors according to the customer's requirements.
