Measure & Manage Wheels & Rail with ...
Many industry operators are monitoring vehicle / track performance to identify poorly performing vehicles at an early stage to avoid operational disruption and unplanned expenditure.
Maintenance is planned on a performance basis, rather than on the traditional time-and-kilometre based intervals to reduce operating costs.
This need to measure and identify wheel profiles is well understood and numerous studies to date dealing with freight rolling stock have confirmed that wheel / rail wear and fuel consumption are the two largest costs influenced by wheel profile maintenance practices.
WHEELSCAN identifies the problem before the problem occurs.
