Monitoring of vehicles, infrastructure, noise, and vibrations
Make conditions visible. Make maintenance predictable.
Müller-BBM Rail Technologies develops monitoring systems for wheels, bearings, loads, rails, bridges, and rail noise. Our solutions acquire critical conditions during operation, deliver reliable real-time condition data, and provide the foundation for condition-based and predictive maintenance.
Monitoring of Wheels, Bearings, Loads, Rails, Bridges, and Railway Noise
Real-time measurement data
Our measurement and monitoring systems provide precise measurement data in real time and ensure that trains operate safely, quietly, and efficientlywhile maximizing the reliability, availability, and service life of rail infrastructure worldwide.
WHEEL MONITORING SYSTEM - WMS
Automated monitoring of wheel out-of-roundness, flat spots, and polygonization during operation. For increased vehicle availability, reduced noise, and condition-based wheel maintenance.
TRACK MONITORING SYSTEM - TMS
Autonomous, continuous monitoring of rail running surfaces, rail corrugation, slip waves, and other rail defects during operation.
BRIDGE MONITORING SYSTEM
Autonomous structural health monitoring of railway bridges with precise measurement of structural response, fatigue, and operational loads.
RAILWAY NOISE MONITORING
Continuous, automated acquisition of railway noise and vibrations for verification, effectiveness checks, and transparent communication.
WEIGH IN MOTION - WIM
Dynamic load measurement during operation: Automatically capture axle loads, wagon weights, load distribution, and overloading – without stopping the train.
BEARING ACOUSTIC MONITORING - BAM
Acoustic monitoring of bearings for early detection of bearing defects, condition trend analysis, and targeted alerts when critical changes are identified.
CAMERA DETECTION & VISUAL INSPECTION
AI-based optical detection of dragging equipment, open or damaged or overheating components, and other visually detectable defects during operation.
VIBRATION MONITORING
Vibration monitoring for railway lines, buildings, and infrastructure: Measurement, analysis, and assessment of railway-induced vibrations, structure-borne noise, and secondary airborne noise.
Turning complex data into actionable insights
Whether for rolling stock maintenance, infrastructure management, or noise control, modern railway networks need objective data rather than reactive decisions. Our monitoring systems detect defects early, reveal trends, and provide actionable insights that help rail operators, maintenance facilities, ECMs, and infrastructure managers improve safety, maximize asset availability, reduce lifecycle costs, and minimize noise and vibration.
EARLY DETECTION RATHER THAN REACTION
Defects in wheels, bearings, load distribution, rails, or civil structures can be identified at an early stage, before they lead to increased noise and vibration emissions, secondary damage, unplanned downtime, or infrastructure closures.
DATA FOR CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE
All systems generate structured condition data that supports trend analysis, maintenance prioritization, and reliable operational decisions.
MODULAR, INTEGRABLE, SCALABLE
From a single measurement point to network-wide monitoring: The systems can be tailored to customer requirements, vehicle fleets, and infrastructure, and integrated into existing data and asset management processes.
Monitoring Applications
For every monitoring challenge, the right solution: Our advanced systems capture rolling stock, rail infrastructure, and railway noise data with precision, reliability, and in real time.
One platform – multiple monitoring modules
Our monitoring solutions are modular by design and can be tailored to your specific requirements. Whether you need to monitor wheel conditions, axle loads, bearing defects, visual anomalies, rail conditions, bridges, railway noise, or vibrations, each module can be used independently or combined into a fully integrated monitoring solution.
- Tailored combination of individual monitoring modules
- Centralized platform for rolling stock, rail infrastructure, noise, and vibrations
- Scalable from a single solution to a comprehensive monitoring system
- Unified data foundation for operations, maintenance, and evaluation
All data, alarms, trends, and analyses are available through a central, easy-to-use platform, providing the insights needed for informed operational and maintenance decisions.
