Access rolling stock data remotely
Collect data from your rolling stock automatically and continuously
Get a full overview of your fleet’s condition
Connect your railway assets and see exactly what’s happening with them at any time on one central platform, no matter what type of assets or components you have to manage.
Help your team whenever they need it
Avoid delays by giving your drivers, hotline, control center and teams on the ground the information they need to be more proactive or to solve any issues they come across quicker.
Prevent possible inline failures
Detect abnormalities and set up notification rules to be alerted about abnormal or defective behaviour in time. Confirm alerts in real time and turn them into actions for your teams.
Connect assets at your own speed
Start with the most relevant use cases and expand to others over time: monitor the railway assets or components that are most prone to disrupt your services first and add more later.
Railster telematics device
The Railster is a powerful remote monitoring device that enables you to view data from all your railway assets and components (the Railster is a multi-asset and multi-component system). Compute your own rules, receive fault codes and alerts in real-time and give your teams the information they need to prevent certain failures from happening, and to react faster to others. To ensure maximum fleet availability the Railster is easy to install and upgradable over the air.

Safely access data from your assets with the Railster
Railway compliant technology
Railnova’s remote condition monitoring system is fully compliant with railway standards: the Railster has been thoroughly tested and is both EN 50155 (temperature, humidity, shock vibration etc.) and NFF 16 101 (Fire and smoke) compliant.
Non-intrusive connectivity
All software installed on the Railster is read-only and non intrusive. You can safely use our Ethernet, Can, Serial, CDL, USB, J1939, J1708 bus adapters to transmit the critical information you need. We read all buses and ports in a passive way.
Easy and fast installation
Minimum cabling required
To get the sub-components data you need, we plug into existing connectors and sensors and reuse existing cable-ways. We find clever ways to minimize the installation time for a cost-effective and fast series deployment and provide you with updated electrical schematics and a pre-crimped cable kit.
Easily powered up
The ultra wide range of input voltages makes it easy to power-up the Railster on any train. Plug it to the 220V AC socket in the driver desk, the 24V DC battery, or the 72V DC circuit with no external converter. The Railster accepts anything within 12 – 110 V DC and 110 V AC – 220 V AC range. We have also included the possibility to limit the input power consumption to 5W in case there is limited auxiliary power left on your train.
No external antenna required
The Railster does not need an external roof antenna and works perfectly from inside the train. We have tested our GPS receiver behind windshields of many trains: Bombardier Traxx Locomotives, Alstom Prima, Vossloh, Ansaldobreda V250. No expensive antennae, no drilling, and no re-homologation needed.

How CargoNet is using the Railster to remotely access train data
CargoNet reached out to us because they were looking for opportunities that would enable them to better interact with drivers in case of problems, to plan usage-based maintenance based on counters and to receive automatic alerts about abnormal behavior on their assets.
