Latest NewsPoint Condition Monitoring with AssetWatch
Point Condition Monitoring by CDSRail has been developed to provide an early warning of impending point failure so that timely corrective maintenance can be carried out and breakdown avoided.
Developed with railway maintainers worldwide, this cost effective, scaleable solution continuously monitors points and raises an alarm if a degradation in performance is detected
A large number of point ends can be monitored remotely across the Internet from the maintainers desktop; performance data can be downloaded, examined and stored to assist in failure mode identification and long term performance assessment.
Points performance data can also be interrogated locally on site during maintenance.
Uniquely the CDSRail Point Condition Monitoring system is capable of synchronous monitoring of a wide range of parameters including
- force,
- current,
- rail temperature,
- hydraulic pressure and
- switch transition time
Analysis of stored data provides warning of incipient failures and allows the system to automatically compensate for seasonal changes which assists in eliminating false alarms.
CDSRail Point Condition Monitoring is currently in use throughout the UK and also in Ireland, Hong Kong and Australia
