Siemens Mobility GmbH and VTG Rail Europe GmbH signed a contract to test the innovative Brake Monitoring System (BMS) for automated brake testing of freight trains to prove the system’s operational capability. The BMS ensures an automatic brake test on each wagon of a train. The expected efficiencies generated for freight operators will result in a great market potential across Europe.
With OnCare.Health Vorecon, Voith presents a new data diagnostics system that goes one step further than conventional machine protection systems do. It learns, monitors, and performs diagnostics in real time. By means of typical signal patterns, the system first learns the reference state of the machine. Then it continuously monitors, records, analyzes, and evaluates the relevant signals.
Flex Power Modules announces the PNA series, an analog non-isolated point of load (PoL) regulator that offers excellent efficiency and thermal performance in a small form factor.
