Railnova’s remote monitoring device Railster enables you to connect to and to monitor the following components on the TRAXX out of the box:

Monitor battery voltage, capacity, current, and status of both the main and the supporting battery both when your TRAXX locomotives are running and turned off.

Monitor fault codes or read parameters at bus speed and easily convert them into readable and actionable information.

Track the location of your locomotives, the distance they traveled, their speed and their GPS history. Use real-time GPS data for geofencing alerts.

Instantly check what happened with your TRAXX assets in case of an incident and/or automatically store a complete copy of JRU data in the cloud.

Monitor relevant DCPU fault codes in real time and alert employees automatically when they need to take action on the fault codes.

Monitor important ERTMS data in real time via the Profibus interface.

A low battery voltage, or battery failure can cause delays, cancellations and even damages to a locomotive battery. Real-time battery monitoring and battery alerts enable you to detect anomalies and avoid battery failures on your TRAXX fleet.

Retrieve DCPU and MVB fault codes, make it easy to cut through irrelevant fault codes or noise by setting up your own (notification) rules and enable people to act on critical fault codes.

Follow up on the status of all your assets, on fleet availability and potential restrictions. Know which locomotive is used for which traffic, what the composition of the train is or any other relevant operational data from your entire fleet.

Monitor the energy consumption of your TRAXX assets continuously to view your energy consumption per route and per customer. Easily spot on which routes you have the most variability and understand the best way to drive on each route.

Configure rules based on your specific needs so you can quickly access the right data and automatically allocate failures to the right root cause. Help your hotline personnel to better understand events and provide live support to drivers in complex diagnostics situations.

Keep track of the location and speed of your assets, view GPS history, track traveled kms for maintenance or billing purposes and set up geofence alerts to alert you of location changes or to send alerts to the right people based on the location of your assets.

Schedule events online and keep a full overview of the planning and progress of all corrective and preventive maintenance interventions for your entire fleet in one place. Share your planning and intervention details with clients, maintainers or other stakeholders.

Capture readily available real-time counter data, enter counters manually or compute your own to automate your preventive maintenance scheduling based on the actual usage of your TRAXX assets.

Have your drivers or hotline personnel report corrective events straight from their phones, tablets or computers. Use QR-codes in your locomotives for fast and user-friendly defect reporting.

Already have systems in place to analyse TRAXX data and to make it actionable? No problem, you can use the Railster to connect to the relevant data sources and to stream the data to your own systems in real time.

Not sure yet what kind of data you can access from your TRAXX assets or not sure what you can actually do with that data? Connect the Railster or Railster Development Kit to any data source and explore the available data to identify new use cases.
