Railroads rely heavily on routine inspections to ensure the #safety and #efficiency of their fleets, where trains are often more than a mile long comprising 100 freight cars or more. These longer trains dramatically increase the challenges of manual railcar inspection, requiring more time and labor, while providing data that in many cases is subjective. “Today, much of the rail industry relies on time-consuming inspections to ensure proper operating conditions of the train,” said Roopa Jha Shenoy, Senior Director, Product Manager for KinetiX at Wabtec Corporation. “Crews go out at specific times to inspect the equipment through visual observation. This approach, while providing a snapshot in time, lacks predictive capabilities and the ability to identify issues with components that the human eye cannot see.” #KinetiXInspectionTechnologies is where cutting-edge intelligence can help transform railroad operations. It is the latest in automated inspection technologies, utilizing advanced digital high-speed vision systems, sensors, and AI-driven analytics. With over 400 installations worldwide, it is the industry benchmark and analytics solution of choice for freight, heavy-haul, and transit applications.
