Track Wear Detection with 3D Sensor for Railway Industry

Railway tracks endure continuous stress from heavy loads, high-speed trains, and harsh environments. Over time, this causes wear and deformation. Early detection of track wear is essential. It helps avoid accidents, reduce downtime, and lower maintenance costs.

Industry Challenge

Traditional track wear detection methods are often slow and inaccurate. They may miss small defects that can lead to larger problems. The railway industry needs faster, more precise solutions.

Missed detection of track irregularities can result in:

a. Unsafe operating conditions

b. Expensive emergency repairs

c. Service delays and downtime

d. Long-term damage to rolling stock
