Duos Technologies senior vice-president Felix Krupczynski said: “We are very excited to have the opportunity to advance our intelligent automated inspection portfolio for the rail industry within a world class research and technology testing centre.”
The company has devised the proprietary system design following extensive field testing, which will use thermal imaging technology to monitoring component health.
The system is intended to facilitate the automatic monitoring of locomotive components' thermal signatures and detect any malfunction or condition that does not meet the requirements of railroad operations.
It will identify and alert personnel when a component is found to be operating outside the expected temperature range.
