As urban rail systems around the world face mounting pressure to modernise and operate more efficiently. Access to advanced diagnostic tools is critical. Dewesoft’s latest case study looks at how a METRO network improved its infrastructure. They used advanced DeweSoft data acquisition (DAQ) and monitoring systems. Therefore, delivering measurable improvements in reliability, safety, and maintenance efficiency.
The Challenge: Outdated Infrastructure, Frequent Failures
The METRO operator was grappling with an ageing rail system. In addition, traditional inspection methods weren’t capturing the full picture of system health. Repeated electrical faults, delays, and operational disruptions pointed to a need for real-time monitoring and root cause analysis.
The Solution: Real-Time Insight with Dewesoft DAQ Tools
To address ongoing infrastructure faults, the METRO team implemented Dewesoft’s modular data acquisition (DAQ) solution. Combining KRYPTON rugged DAQ modules, SIRIUS systems, and DewesoftX software. This powerful setup enabled:
- Real-time monitoring of track circuits and electrical infrastructure
- Synchronised measurements from multiple electrical and vibration sensors
- Detection of electrical transients and power quality anomalies
- Faster root cause analysis and targeted maintenance planning
The result was a comprehensive diagnostic system that significantly improved operational reliability, reduced downtime, and enhanced safety across the rail network.
Why This Matters for Australia & New Zealand
Although this project was implemented overseas. The challenges it addressed are highly relevant to rail networks across Australia and New Zealand. Old infrastructure, more passengers, and the move to predictive maintenance are all increasing the need for better monitoring solutions.
As the official Dewesoft distributor, Metromatics provides local access to these powerful systems — along with engineering expertise, sales support, and technical service.
