Sentinel Motion for Rail is an innovative IoT-based sensor system tailored for the railroad industry, designed to monitor critical equipment by assessing various combinations of temperature, linear, and vibrational forces. Originally created for helicopter gearboxes, this system has been adapted for rail applications, providing a comprehensive solution for tracking, wheel, and bearing monitoring.
The system integrates RotoSense smart sensors with the Sentinel Gateway communications device, allowing for continuous data acquisition and remote monitoring. Its ability to detect anomalies in track infrastructure and componentry makes it invaluable for rail operators looking to reduce maintenance costs and improve safety.
Equipped with advanced analytics capabilities, Sentinel Motion for Rail empowers operators to conduct precise health assessments and generate automated alerts for emerging issues, thus supporting effective condition-based maintenance strategies. This sensor system stands out as a cost-effective solution capable of drastically reducing operation costs linked to rail maintenance by reliably predicting imminent failures.
