Sentinel Motion is a comprehensive IoT-based sensor system developed for monitoring critical equipment through a combination of temperature, linear, rotary, or vibrational force measurements. Originally designed for helicopter gearbox systems, this technology adapts to various industrial applications including railways. It combines the capabilities of traditional detection equipment into a cost-effective, continuous monitoring and alert system.
The system includes a network of wireless RotoSense smart sensors, the Sentinel Gateway communications device, and the Sentinel MotionView software, enabling real-time data analysis and sensor management. This toolbox allows for precise monitoring of tracks, wheels, and bearings, offering railroad operators an effective solution to reduce operational costs from equipment failures.
Sentinel Motion's testing has demonstrated its viability for fault detection and infrastructure characterization in the rail industry. By integrating advanced sensor data analytics with IoT communication tools, Sentinel Motion ensures proactive maintenance and greater reliability for rail systems, exemplifying Ridgetop's commitment to innovative asset management solutions.
