Robot-based maintenance of railway tracks and rolling stock
servail autonomous robots for the maintenance of rolling stock, railway tracks and track surroundings. Maintenance without inhibiting operations. The compact robots do not protrude into the loading gauge of railway vehicle and allow maintenance processes under running train operations.
Maximize Availability
-
Tracks
Inspect and maintain railway tracks without inhibiting track availability. Servail’ robots use the space below trains, do not protrude the loading gauge and are independent from running train operations.
-
Rolling Stock
Inspect railway vehicles in regular tracks, instead of moving them into maintenance workshops. As a result, trains have to be taken to workshops less frequently or for shorter periods. The downtime and standing times of the trains can thus be drastically reduced.
-
Workforce
Keep People safe and minimize the need for workers to enter hazardous track areas; Automate inspection processes; Address labor shortages.
servail Robotic Platform
servail robotic platforms use the safe space under railway vehicles, thus being independent from running train operations. The robots serve as carrier for tools and sensors. This creates a wide range of new areas of application.
The success of railway systems is directly linked to the availability and readiness of the assets. Maintaining the assets is costly and not possible without limiting operations.
At the same time, the traffic load on the routes is increasing due to megatrends such as urbanization and the demand for environmentally friendly mobility. A conflict arises between the use and the maintenance of the infrastructure.
In order to ensure the success of the railway system in the future, new approaches to inspection and maintenance are crucial. A move to condition-based and predictive maintenance is required. The inspection must be carried out without limiting operation.
