RET measurement solution
(Railway Efficiency Toolkit)
No More Blind Spots!
RET provides you with knowledge about the interrelationships between key mechanical interfaces in the context of vehicles and infrastructure. This applies not only to trains, but also to trams, buses, special vehicles, and construction machinery.
RET is an integrated platform that connects robust measuring devices with a powerful cloud analysis system to transform raw data into actionable insights for operators of trams, urban transport systems, mainline railways, and bus routes.
Why operators choose RET
- Catch problems early: Detect switch faults, track problems, flat spots, excessive wear, or joint defects along railways, tram lines, and bus corridors before they become safety or service issues.
- Validate measures quickly: Know within days—not months—whether lubrication, reprofiling, or other maintenance measures are having the desired effect on your vehicles.
- Stay in control: RET is manufacturer-neutral. You own your data and remain independent; the knowledge stays with you.
- Easy installation without interruption: The devices are mounted externally on trams, trains, and buses and are ready for use within hours. Rent or buy depending on your budget.
- Transparent costs: An annual fee covers hardware operation, data transmission, AI analyses, alerts, API access, and support. No hidden IT costs.


Clear ROI and Predictable Costs
RET is built to eliminate uncertainty, shorten pilot phases and deliver value from day one.
- Low upfront investments: start with a few rental units or a small purchase on one tram line or bus route.
- Immediate insights: devices are operational within hours and deliver results through RET Analysis Software within days.
- All‑inclusive pricing: the annual subscription includes hardware operation, data transmission, analysis, alarms and support.
- Evidence‑based decisions: even during trials, RET identifies hidden issues and confirms whether interventions work—driving a rapid return on investment.

Build vs. Buy: Focus on Operations, Not IT
Many operators explore in‑house sensor projects, only to find they consume resources without delivering results.
With RET you get a proven, off‑the‑shelf solution that lets your experts concentrate on operations—be it on trams, trains or buses.
- Deploy in days rather than launch multi‑year pilot projects.
- Gain direct visibility into the vehicle–infrastructure relationship without waiting for external reports.
- Minimise risk with predictable costs and a scalable footprint.
RET empowers you to solve your real challenges across tram networks, mainline rail and bus operations—without the delays, costs and uncertainty of building your own system.
