Pantograph Sensor
The Pantograph Sensor performs just like a normal PMU, but is designed for being attached to the pantograph. The pantograph sensor monitors trends and deviations and sends data to be processed by the machine learning algorithms. It registers any potential faults or errors of the pantograph itself – as well as any potential damage to both the carbon rail and the catenary line.
The data is processed in real-time, and the system carefully monitors the status of both infrastructure and locomotive components, which in turn enables preventative measures. Damages to the catenary line or the carbon fiber rail can result in the patograph getting caught, resulting in catastrophic tear-down of the catenary lines. If a failure should occur, the train driver is alerted instantly via the “MyTrain” app, and can stop the train to prevent further damage.

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.
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.
Digital Shunting Tool
RMDs digital shunting tool is based on equipping wagons with PMUs and serves as a tool to help customers move away from the manual handling still in use. The train dispatcher can assemble new train sets using the ”drag-and-drop” functionality.
