Rail operators are reaping the benefits of intelligent sensors to monitor their systems and rolling stock. Continuous monitoring provides real time warnings of system degradation, allowing for predictive maintenance saving thousands of dollars as well as ensuring the very highest safety standards.
Locomotive, Tram and Metro sensor installations are physically and electronically challenging. PST’s global design engineers and application support teams have a wealth of experience in rail industry-approved sensor use in all train installations – whether in, on or under car locations
PST have provided solutions for train production contracts globally in compressed air quality, internal utilities, liquid level detection and internal environmental conditions. Portable instruments have been used for maintenance spot checks and data collection systems for platform and tunnel environmental conditions.
