Latest NewsTrack Condition Monitoring with AssetWatch
Traditionally, monitoring track condition requires the deployment of manpower to manually collect data and relay this information to the local supervisors office.
This method is wasteful of labour resources as typically a gang of trackmen would have to be diverted to monitor a whole area, normally under a blockade.
Typically, the results consist of ‘snapshot’ measurements taken at infrequent intervals.
AssetWatch Intelligent Track Monitoring allows data to be continuously collected remotely and viewed live via the Internet from the Maintainers desktop.
