CarVue

CarVue delivers automated train identification and bogie condition monitoring in-service – giving operators clear, reliable visibility of which vehicles are running on the network and what condition they are in. By removing manual identification and inconsistent checks, it supports condition-based monitoring, enables earlier intervention, and reduces operational risk without disrupting service.

How Condition-Based Monitoring Works at Fleet Scale

Condition-based monitoring depends on consistent, repeatable insight across the fleet. Manual identification and depot-based checks introduce gaps – making it difficult to confirm what’s been inspected, when, and on which vehicle. CarVue captures train identity and bogie condition automatically during normal operation creating a consistent view of fleet health that supports confident maintenance planning.

CarVue OCR

CarVue Optical Character recognition (OCR) captures images as trains pass, automating inspections of carriage conditions, open doors, graffiti, and the bogie area. It also automatically logs carriage numbers, enabling our analysis software Theia to correlate train IDs with the images—and empowering you to track asset performance over time.

CarVue Bogie

CarVue Bogie uses a high-definition camera to capture images of the bogie while the train is moving at full speed. It then uploads images to our analysis software Theia to pinpoint any damage or degradation—alerting maintenance teams so they can plan repairs, prevent failures, and avoid costly disruptions.

Theia: Instant insights, immediate action

Turning inspection data into clear insight, Theia is rail maintenance software that leading operators rely on. Providing a single view of asset condition across fleets and infrastructure, it enables faster, more confident maintenance decisions and helps avoid disruptions.
