Worldsensing is a leader in IoT remote monitoring. It has over 3,000 network deployments around the world, in sectors including rail, mining and construction. Its solutions are primarily used to monitor how geotechnical, geospatial and structural conditions impact civil infrastructure to help prevent life-threatening incidents. Railway News interviewed Victor Salinas, an Application Expert at Worldsensing […]

The devices are embedded in the surface of the concrete blocks.

“We have monitoring needs that are mainly related to ensuring the track stability and geometry of tracks.”

A robust and capable wireless system, such as the Worldsensing platform, will ensure sensors send data reliably.

“As a maintenance company, we suffer the cost of manpower.”

Rail has been around for years. But there is still room for improvement in terms of safety, efficiency and sustainability.

Several sectors could benefit from remote monitoring. I really believe that it improves operational capacity.

What can help is the range of the wireless and the possibility to operate without the need for permanent power.

LoRa networks installed along railtracks can form the basis for early warning systems to help improve passenger safety.

Railways are in need of constant maintenance in order to ensure the safety of both passengers and railway workers.
