Smart Point Machine

Adaptive monitoring and diagnostics catalyst Problem description

Railway operators often face unexpected point machine failures that lead to costly downtime and unplanned repairs. Without early insights into abnormal states, maintenance teams must react after the failure has already happened. This means they may not have the right tools or parts available and cannot prepare effectively. As a result, repairs take longer, costs rise, and the reliability of rail operations suffers.

Enabling failures detection Our Solution

The Smart Point Machine continuously monitors the condition of point machines using high-performance sensors that capture real-time data. Analysis provides clear indicators and generates instant alarms when anomalies occur. The system can be programmed remotely and integrated with SCADA, signaling, or SIEM systems. Scalable to various models, it enables condition-based maintenance that prevents breakdowns and reduces service interruptions.

How it works

For each phase of the switch operation indicators are calculated by off-loaded post-processing from the acquired data.

Alarm settings on the calculated indicators on each point machine.

Field data acquisition equipment (current, voltage, active power), inte-grated into the railway system, with no impact on safety, meeting its con-straints, and proven.

Highly flexible deployment architecture of the SPM solution, “Egde com-puting”, “Cloud” hosting or “On premise”.

Hot swapping of equipment.

Cybersecurity is handled by design.
