RoofVue

RoofVue delivers continuous, in-service roof monitoring that replaces manual roof inspection with real-time visibility – reducing risk to personnel, disruption to services, and the cost of maintenance.

Automated Roof Inspection for Condition-Based Maintenance

Manual roof inspections are slow, intrusive, and inconsistent – often carried out in low light or restricted conditions. As a result, faults can go undetected until they escalate into failures, costly repairs, or extended downtime. RoofVue shifts roof inspection from the depot to the network. Using automated, trackside imaging, it captures high-resolution visuals of roof-mounted components as trains pass, enabling continuous assessment without taking vehicles out of service. This allows operators to carry out maintenance based on condition – protecting critical assets while keeping staff safe and trains running.

Boost visibility, drive performance

Traditional manual roof inspections on trains are slow, risky, and often unreliable. They require physical access to train roofs, disrupting schedules and making it hard to spot early signs of wear or damage. This can lead to missed faults, costly repairs, and extended downtime.

RoofVue changes the maintenance game with automated, trackside inspections using advanced imaging. It delivers real-time, high-resolution visuals of roof conditions, boosting safety and enabling predictive maintenance.
