THERMA-TRACK – for Railway Line OHTE (Overhead Track Equipment) IRT (Infrared) - Condition Monitoring (CM) and Preventative Maintenance (PM) survey solutions, in South Africa.
Prevention is MUCH better and certainly much cheaper - than cure. Effective (preventative) maintenance relies on dedicated and sophisticated reliable Condition Monitoring (Programme) to detect and predict potential failure accurately. Why have the risks – of waiting for OHTE (Overhead Track Equipment) Component failure, if it can be reliably predicted and avoided in time, to prevent breakdowns /hook-ups? The ever increasing maintenance responsibility, risk of financial and criminal liability can be easily managed / minimised – with a proper dedicated OHTE IRT (Infrared) survey solution / Condition Monitoring Programme (CMP) for your specific requirements.
THERMA-TRACK provides unique solutions and operational integration service options as the most cost effective OHTE IRT platform. Prevention of failure (breakdown / hook-ups) – is the ONLY option - in the challenging railway maintenance and operations environment.
THERMA-TRACK finds every fault – every time, classifies and predicts failures accurately, for better maintenance planning and execution. Finding some faults – sometimes, is useless! The ONE component / fault that were missed will cause the failure / hook-up. Miss 1 fault – and all credibility / reliability of the report are lost.
THERMA-TRACK – is a 100% South African developed solution, by South Africans - for South African operational conditions, properly field trialled and tested since first in 2007, with excellent results – saving “South African Railway – Operators” hundreds of millions annually.
