REThink Public Transport

Smarter systems. Fewer constraints. Total control.

Parametric’s solutions are divided into two complementary product families: infrastructure monitoring and vehicle systems. Both families comprise robust, modular components designed specifically for rail and automotive environments. These are not just individual measuring devices but an interconnected system of hardware, software and intelligent data analytics working together seamlessly to deliver a comprehensive solution for public transport. The systems are supported by our flexible RET and RAR/MEC product lines.

Our Products

Infrastructure Solutions – RET Measurement System

If you’re responsible for the integrity of tracks, bridges or tunnels, our RET family provides an intelligent system for infrastructure monitoring. It combines modular hardware, connected communication and sophisticated analytics into a holistic solution that processes environmental, structural and connectivity data along the railway line. This enables us to deliver precise diagnostics and predictive maintenance – far beyond a purely measurement function.
