Anomalies detection for increasing safety
For increasing rail operations safety, Camco has developed camera-technology based Under Carriage Inspection UCI as well as AI-enabled rail wagon brake-shoe detection.
With Camco UCI, high-res images of undercarriages are immediately available for remote, fast and safe detection of anomalies.
With Camco’s automated brake-shoe wear and tear detection, data of worn and missing brake shoes of freight wagons is flagged in the Train Gate Operator, allowing efficient maintenance and repair management.
Frequently Asked Questions About Camco’s Under Carriage Inspection System
Anomalies such as worn or missing brake shoes are flagged in real time and integrated into the Train Gate Operator system. This allows terminal staff to take immediate action, prioritise repairs, and maintain accurate maintenance records, all contributing to a safer and more efficient rail operation.
Camco’s automated brake-shoe inspection ensures early detection of brake issues, reduces the risk of operational failures, and enables data-driven maintenance planning. This proactive approach increases rail safety, minimises costly repairs, and enhances overall rail network reliability.
Yes, the system is fully designed for remote usage. Operators can instantly access high-resolution undercarriage images from any location, enabling safe and efficient inspections without the need for manual checks on site. This significantly reduces downtime and enhances safety for personnel.
The UCI integrates AI-driven image recognition specifically trained to identify brake-shoe conditions. As each wagon passes through the inspection portal, the system flags worn or missing brake shoes and displays alerts within the Train Gate Operator platform, allowing for timely maintenance and improved operational safety.
Camco’s UCI system is designed to enhance rail safety by automatically scanning the undercarriages of rail wagons. It provides high-resolution images in real time, enabling fast, remote detection of anomalies such as structural issues or brake-related defects without disrupting operations.
