Rail Condition Monitoring brochure

The increasing demand to monitor equipment on and about
the railway network has led to a variety of assets that the owner
must operate and maintain. These assets are a significant feature
of the network and are critical to safety of the railway. Covering
applications such as signalling, structures and environmental
conditions it is essential that the status of these assets are
available 24 hours a day.
Transmittons approach to Remote Condition Monitoring
(RCM) provides an alternative mid-way approach to asset
monitoring. Based on sound engineering principles of
modularity, simplicity, flexibility and expansion, Transmitton is
able to deliver the best in-service performance to network
operators and maintainers at the lowest overall cost of
ownership.
At the heart of Transmittons approach is the well proven
cromos and fastflex suite of real time control and monitoring
technologies. These provide operation and maintenance staff
with a consolidated view of their remote assets.
Through condition monitoring, the long term
recording of plant operation and initial asset
parameters enable the condition of plant to be
monitored, and preventative maintenance to be
planned in advance. Integration to intelligent
third-party systems allows access to
additional detailed plant information
and the further ability to monitor
and manage individual network
RCM
assets.

Upgradable
Transmitton’s RCM solution uses open standards that
allow the modernisation during the lifetime of an asset with
minimal re-engineering and re-configuration cost.
Maintainable
Problems on any element of an RCM solution can be
diagnosed from remote locations quickly and easily. Assets
can then be repaired/re-commissioned without affecting
other aspects of the network.
Robust
By utilising the well proven Cromos and Fastflex
technologies, Transmitton are able to provide a solution with
the highest level of reliability and integrity.
Understandable
The simple approach allows all stakeholders of the asset to
be confident in dealing with the operation and maintenance
of the RCM solution. Through implementing a philosophy of
‘operator-assisted’ functions, the RCM solution ensures that
the event and alarm data generated is immediate and clear.

Transmitton is a technology
based company, focused on supplying
a unique blend of integrated control
and asset management solutions
