SMARTSET® LOAD
SMARTSET ® Load Intelligent sensor, embedded on the axle, that continuously measures and processes in real-time wheelset bending and torsional stresses in operation.
These data also provide valuable information regarding:
- The wheelset in-service stress history, analyzed through an algorithm named STARCRACK to obtain an optimal NDT inspection plan.
- The health status of the infrastructure, which can be analyzed by the infrastructure manager to plan preventive interventions.
Layout
The features that make SMARTSET ® a winning choice:
Strain gauge sensors
Placed on the axle critical section to measure bending and torsional strains.
Telemetry
module
Processes in real-time the strain gauge signals according to advanced algorithms.
Electro-magnetic induction power supplyer
That powers wirelessly the electronics installed on the axle.
Onboard Hub
Periodically collects data from the telemetry module and sends them to the cloud.
Advantages
Reduce Maintenance Cost
Our tests show that the SMARTSET ® ‘s technology could cut maintenance costs of wheelsets NDT inspections even more than 50% (depending on the type of vehicle and track routes).
Boost ROI
Fewer inspections and much more efficient maintenance system, eliminates a huge profit drains due to unnecessary ‘train stops’ and leads to higher ROI. In addition, train OEMs can also boost their aftersales and make your offer more appealing to clients, increasing profit even further.
Improve Railway Safety
SMARTSET ® provides insights of the state of the railway lines and allows managers to identify spots where higher loads are generated. When abnormal operating conditions of the vehicle or the line are detected, the system sends warning in real time to the operator.
