Challenge	To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear. Read More

Solution	The KONUX sensor solutions allow for real-time switch vibration monitoring, which can indicate incipient failures. Installed on the crosstie beneath the switch, our sensor systems measure the vertical position and identify anomalies that can lead to problems with ballast settlement, crosstie tilt, or stretcher bar cracks.
