SMARTSET® VIBE
SMARTSET ® Vibe intelligent sensor, installed on the wheelset axle-boxes, measures and processes in real time the wheelset vibration.
These data provide valuable information regarding:
- Early defects detection of in-service wheel tread and bearings.
- Detect faults of bogie components (bogie frame, suspensions and dampers, gearbox).
Layout
The features that make SMARTSET ® a winning choice:
Very simple installation
using one screw of the axle box cover, no vehicle modification is required.
Fully autonomous
power supply, with LTE data transmission.
Real-time processing
of vibration, using advanced algorithms.
Advantages
Optimization of maintenance cycles
Shifting from a logic based on time or mileage to one based on the actual condition of components (Condition-Based Maintenance).
Reduction of unnecessary stops
By avoiding standardized periodic inspections, downtime is reduced and rolling stock availability is improved.
Longer component life cycle
Thanks to real-time condition monitoring, components can be kept in operation for longer.
Transparency and direct control
Customers can independently verify the data collected by the sensor to schedule targeted and timely maintenance activities.
Applications and Benefits
High-speed passenger transport
Increase safety thanks to the real time monitoring of wheelset components while maximizing their life.
Heavy freight transport
Early detection of wheel flat to avoid operation disruption on freight terminals.
Regional passenger transport
Customized maintenance plan based on the wheelset components usage on specific regional service.
Metro and LRV
Vibration monitoring to improve the city life comfort and journey.
