Status detection in running operation: automatic #vehicle inspection / #infrastructure inspection

The boundary between rail vehicles and infrastructure is no longer cut and dried: trains will be able to inspect tracks and vice versa.

After taking over MRX Technologies, Siemens Mobility Services can already offer this service.

We can now inspect the entire #rail system live, during operation, anywhere in the world.

The necessary sensors can even be retrofitted to older trains without major expense. Automatic maintenance not only saves on operating and downtime, but also improves quality as there is no risk of human error. However, automatic vehicle and infrastructure inspection primarily represents one more important step towards our ultimate aim.

Early detection of imminent failures system wide brings 100% availability one step closer to reality.
