WHEEL Control - Smart wheelset monitoring system

WHEEL Control

The condition of wheelsets has a direct impact on the safety, efficiency and service life of rail vehicles. WHEEL Control is our innovative system for monitoring wheel wear, which helps to detect wear patterns at an early stage and enables targeted maintenance planning. Unplanned breakdowns are avoided through early detection of critical wear values. Optimized maintenance cycles reduce costs and extend the service life of wheelsets. Timely measures ensure stable running characteristics and increase safety and efficiency.

Functionality

How does WHEEL Control work?

Our system uses high-precision measurement technology to continuously record wear parameters. Mileage-dependent, regular measurements ensure a reliable assessment of the wheelset condition. The data is analyzed in real time and enables data-based decision-making for maintenance.

Automated recording of wheel profile data

High-resolution measurements for maximum accuracy.

Comparison with wear limit values

Identification of wheelsets that require maintenance.

Digital documentation

Comparison of historical data for long-term wear analyses.

Integration into existing maintenance processes

Flexible adaptation to individual maintenance strategies.
