Case Study: Position Partners achieves flexible railway track monitoring with Senceive wireless sensors

Position Partners monitors railway track with Senceive in just a few hours

The customer, Position Partners, faced the challenge of safeguarding an active railway line during the massive Toowoomba Second Range Crossing highway construction project in Queensland, Australia. Their challenge was to detect any movement of the track and associated assets caused by earthworks, piling, and blasting, requiring a monitoring system that could be rapidly relocated. They chose to use Senceive's wireless remote rail condition monitoring technology for this task.

Senceive implemented a flexible solution using numerous wireless tilt sensor nodes deployed on the railway sleepers and surrounding embankment. The system was successfully moved and reconfigured to new locations as the construction work progressed, providing highly reliable data to ensure safety. The solution's key advantages, including long battery life and interchangeable bracketry, saved significant cost and time while eliminating the need for maintenance.
