Compact Measurement Node for Raw Data Measurement and AI Applications

RET1000 is a compact, energy-efficient acquisition unit for recording mechanical load data and noise during operation. The measurement node delivers data to characterize interfaces between vehicles and infrastructure, such as wheel-rail interaction.

Why choose RET1000

If you need a robust device for collecting raw data to measure mechanical stress or wheel-rail effects over short to medium-term operational measurements, RET1000 is the ideal solution. For simpler operational systems with intelligent data pre-processing, we recommend RAILCTX and MOVCTX.
