WPS

The Wheel Profile Measurement System (WPS) is a cutting-edge wayside monitoring solution designed to automatically assess the condition of train wheel profiles in real time. Utilizing high-speed laser scanning and optical measurement technology, the system captures detailed wheel contour data, ensuring optimal wheel-rail interaction and reducing the risk of derailments. By continuously monitoring and analyzing wheel wear, shape deviations, and defects, WPS enables railway operators to implement proactive maintenance strategies, extending wheel life, improving safety, and reducing maintenance costs.
Designed for automated, non-contact operation, the WPS seamlessly integrates with railway asset management systems, providing real-time alerts and analytics for predictive maintenance. It operates reliably in all weather conditions and is suitable for high-speed rail, freight, and metro applications. By detecting issues such as flange wear, tread hollowing, and out-of-round wheels, the system helps minimize train downtime, optimize fleet performance, and ensure compliance with international railway safety standards.
