- Order to Enhance Rail Network Safety and Increase
Efficiency
Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) announced today an agreement to
provide KinetiX Inspection Technologies to Société Nationale des
Chemins de Fer français (SNCF) Voyageurs. The order enables the
French national railway company to enhance the safety, efficiency,
and reliability of its rail network.
“SNCF Voyageurs is a forward-thinking industry leader that is
transforming its transit system by empowering its operations team
with the latest inspection technologies,” said Roopa Shenoy, Senior
Director, Product Manager for Wabtec’s KinetiX. “As one of the
busiest rail networks in Europe, SNCF relies on us to support its
efficient, reliable, and safe service. The KinetiX systems are
innovative and offer a real performance boost, which is the result
of a strong collaborative working relationship between Wabtec and
the Material Department of SNCF Voyageurs.’
The agreement expands the existing use of KinetiX Systems at 13
SNCF Technicentres across France, for axle maintenance and acoustic
bearing monitoring, with the addition of TreadView, WheelView, and
BrakeView inspection systems. These wayside solutions provide
real-time, automated contactless inspection monitoring of the SNCF
Voyageurs fleet. Wabtec will support the implementation with a
dedicated team that guides SNCF Voyageurs from installation to
ongoing maintenance of the technology suite.
The Wabtec KinetiX Inspection Technologies is a comprehensive
portfolio of solutions that redefine the inspection and monitoring
of rail assets. The wayside systems evaluate the condition of key
railcar components, including wheels, brakes, bearings, air hoses,
pantographs, and cross keys, delivering a detailed overview of the
train’s overall health. Integrating machine vision, laser scanning,
remote sensing with acoustic and thermal technology, load
monitoring, and AI-driven analytics, the technology sets the
standard for automating inspection processes, enhancing asset
availability and life while significantly reducing operational
costs. KinetiX’s meticulous inspection analysis can be undertaken
while the train operates and moves at line speeds of up to 120
km/h. For more on Wabtec’s KinetiX Inspection Technologies, visit
