PantoSense

Optical device for pantographs monitoring

Detect, analyze to prevent and respond!

This innovative system offers several key advantages:

Traceability and tracking

Creation of a database on the condition of pantographs, enabling accurate traceability and monitoring of their evolution over time.

Incident prevention

Anticipation of incidents related to the catenary or overhead contact line through early detection of defective pantographs, thereby preventing damage to infrastructure.

Easy maintenance

Simplification of maintenance operations by providing images of the pantograph at a given moment, enabling rapid assessment of its condition.

An affordable solution designed for small- and large-scale deployment at strategic points in the network: borders, high-speed rail connections, technical centers, tram depots, etc.
