Kingpin Lock Sensor
This sensor is used to constantly monitor the kingpin lock to ensure that it is properly engaged at all times. The kingpin lock is a crucial component that prevents cargo trailers from separating during transit.
The sensor monitors the kingpin lock, making sure it is correctly engaged at all times. The sensor alerts the driver if there is a risk of it becoming disengaged during travel, thus jeopardizing the cargo with possible derailment as a consequence.
The kingpin lock sensor acts like an extra safety feature, as it indicates when the lock is active and engaged – a great improvement from manual inspection before departure.
If the sensor detects an incorrect or unlocked position, it sends a warning to the train’s control system and/or MyTrainApp, allowing the operator to take action before an accident or accidental separation of the wagons occurs. This system enhances safety and prevents damage to both cargo and infrastructure.

Load Weight Sensor
The Load Weight Sensor registers the cargo weight and also makes sure that the load is evenly distributed. This relieves rail and infrastructure from uneccessary stress and makes sure that the cargo weight is reported automatically and correctly to Topas or other systems.
Performance Monitoring Unit
The PMU is a state of the art sensor for digitalizing railways. It is an extremely competent unit, capable of detecting and recognizing almost every anomaly in railway infrastructure and rolling assets.
Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensitive bolts in our system solution work in conjunction with PMU sensors. The bolts send their information to nearby PMUs, where the information from the bolts is analysed together with the data from the PMU.
