Asset condition monitoring from Ricardo

We help railway infrastructure managers and operators replace reactive 'find and fix' maintenance regimes with proactive, evidence-based approaches that exploit the latest condition monitoring and data analysis tools.

Using innovative, cost-efficient methods of data collection - such as using in-service trains rather than dedicated measurements vehicles - our monitoring services provide continuous asset condition intelligence that is presented direct to maintenance teams through customised dashboards featuring location maps, diagnostics readings and, with PanMon, 2D photographic evidence and 3D models.

InfraMon - Infrastructure Monitoring

CatMon - Catenary Monitoring

PanMon - Pantograph monitoring

Infrastructure monitoring

InfraMon provides continuous monitoring of track geometry, railhead defects and ride comfort, providing early indications of emerging defects and ultimately support improved track availability.

Pantograph monitoring

PanMon captures high-definition images and 3D scans of passing pantographs to draw immediate attention to defective units that are likely to cause damage to overhead wires.

Catenary monitoring

CatMon uses solar-powered sensors affixed to the pantographs of in-service trains that continually monitor overhead wires for hard spots and other imperfections that could lead to teardown incidents.

These systems have identified damaged pantographs that needed immediate actions to avoid possible overhead wire breaks. Catenary engineer, Infrabel
