Easy configuration. Immediate local response. Intelligent control.
Some railway applications require more than collecting and analysing measurement data. They need systems that respond directly when specific physical conditions occur.
With Parametric Real-Time Monitoring & Control, our autonomously working onboard controllers continuously acquire and process physical measurement data. When predefined conditions are met, they can trigger alerts, activate digital outputs or communicate with existing control systems.
The rules are configured using Parametric Insight Analytics, while event detection and control actions take place directly on the vehicle – without depending on a continuous cloud connection.
Add intelligent monitoring and control without extensive vehicle integration.
RAILCTX combines physical measurement acquisition, local processing and control interfaces in a compact onboard system.
Define what matters. Configure how the system responds.
Use Parametric Insight Analytics to configure measurement filters and thresholds for physical conditions such as acceleration, vibration, acoustic characteristics, speed or other available measurement channels.
React where the measurements are made.
Instead of sending data to the cloud and waiting for a response, RAILCTX evaluates defined conditions directly on the vehicle and triggers local actions.
Connect measurements to existing systems and applications.
Use isolated relay contacts, digital outputs for PLC integration or SMS notifications to connect physical event detection with operational processes and external equipment.
Keep essential local monitoring functions running without a cloud connection.
Once configured, RAILCTX can evaluate measurement conditions and execute defined local actions autonomously. The cloud connection supports configuration, monitoring and further analysis.
The same measurement technology can support different monitoring and control requirements.
Detect predefined physical conditions, such as unusual mechanical impacts, excessive vibrations or characteristic acoustic events.
Trigger a local output or send a notification when the configured conditions are met.
Monitor defined operating conditions during regular railway operation.
Use physical measurements to identify situations that require attention or further investigation.
Activate relays or digital outputs when specified measurement conditions occur.
This provides a flexible interface for connecting sensors to existing onboard equipment, PLCs and application-specific controllers.
Apply railhead conditioning or wheel flange lubrication according to measured operating conditions rather than relying exclusively on fixed activation patterns.
Intelligent railhead conditioning and wheel flange lubrication are developed and delivered together with specialised Parametric Solution Partners.
These applications combine Parametric's measurement and control technology with the application expertise and equipment of the respective partners.
RAILCTX is installed on the vehicle and connected to the required sensors, power supply and control interfaces.
Using Parametric Insight Analytics, define the measurement conditions and thresholds relevant to the application.
RAILCTX continuously evaluates the available physical measurements directly on the vehicle.
When the configured conditions are met, the system can switch an isolated relay, activate a digital output or initiate an SMS notification.
Use Parametric's analysis software to review the available measurement information and adjust the configuration as operational requirements evolve.
For applications requiring straightforward, configurable event detection and local reactions, RAILCTX provides an integrated hardware platform with measurement processing and control outputs.
Typical interfaces include:
Configure measurement filters and thresholds using a familiar software environment. Explore relevant measurement data and adapt the system to different application requirements.
For specialised applications such as intelligent railhead conditioning and wheel flange lubrication, Parametric works with Solution Partners.
Parametric provides the measurement, processing and control technology. Our partners contribute application-specific expertise, equipment and solution integration.
Turn real-world measurements into timely, targeted actions.
From simple event-based alerts to specialised condition-dependent control applications, Parametric helps railway operators make better use of physical data – directly on the vehicle.
