Train tracks have a bad habit of warping with temperature changes. The ground also dries and shrinks, causing uneven surfaces. Summer is a real problem for the train tracks, just like in strong winter, when the rails get shorter and cool. All these things cause delays.
DAVANA integrates all monitored assets, optimizes maintenance and reduces infrastructure costs.
By monitoring assets on a continuous basis, the likelihood of incidents is reduced and responsiveness is increased.
Together with our partner SKF, we've deleveloped a solution to
analyse defects along the network by only monitoring one train. Using the SKF's Multilog IMx installed in the bogies, the system then can relay performance data to DAVANA which process it, and in the case of anomalies, alarms are sent to the maintenance team.
As a complementary solution we offer Blacknest SURFACE, a sensor adapted to the train's circulation needs and which requires very occasional maintenance, making its installation technically and economically feasible.
The compact IoT sensor was created with the aim of continuously monitoring the temperature of the rail, as well as the tilting and vibrations, with a device that can be easily installed. The data collected and the AI analysis are helping to prevent railtrack breaks. It is installed directly on the rail with magnets. Integrated LTE-M1 communication guarantees low data consumption and does not require repeaters to be placed on the track.
Blacknest SURFACE is particularly appropriate for sensitive areas, such as sidings, problematic joints, or areas with significant temperature gradients.
