Rail transport - optiMEAS

Retrofit of Austria's steepest rack railway - A steam locomotive goes digital

Optimeas guest on the IoT Usecase Podcast Another time Optimeas, this time represented by optiMEAS shareholder Dr Jens-Achim Kessel, was a guest on the IoT Usecase Podcast. After our last participation in the podcast, we talked in general about the optimisation possibilities in rail transport with regard to maintenance & service.

Optimea's "ImpSpin" research project

ImpSpin | Development of a sensory spindle for machine tools based on rolling bearing impedance measurements In the funded project "ImpSpin", a continuous, digital value chain for machine tools is being investigated and developed, which is based on the digitisation of the motor spindle. For this purpose, a motor spindle is equipped with sensors for measuring the electrical impedance of the spindle bearings.

How IoT measurement technology improves the maintenance of railway components, Trelleborg and optiMEAS

Optimise rail transport maintenance and service through IoT. The maintenance of rail vehicles is very time-consuming. Especially the overhaul of the bogies requires a longer downtime and causes high costs for the operators of the vehicles. The right sensor technology, combined with a smart edge device, enables the optimisation of maintenance intervals

Monitoring of railway components

Testing railway components in the on-board network. Functional tests and performance measurements under real conditions are indispensable for the development and testing of traction unit components. In the on-board network, a few but sometimes large consumers that are frequently switched on and off cause voltage peaks, high currents and large reactive power components. In addition, there are micro-interruptions of the power supply at the current collector

Industrial IoT: Measurement technology moves into the cloud

Industrial IoT - measurement technology moves to the cloud Far more than a mailbox What is the cloud? The actual cloud idea means to provide certain services beyond simple data storage. Cloud technology thus opens up completely new possibilities for measurement technology, especially for mobile and decentralized
