Application in the railway sector
Experience and partnerships in the railway sector
In the railway sector, reliability is an essential requirement. Every system – from brake benches to compressors, from pantographs to electronic systems – must be tested, monitored, and validated according to stringent and repeatable parameters. In this context, Opus Automazione provides customized industrial automation solutions designed to optimize testing, control, diagnostics, and revamping activities.
We collaborate with operators and manufacturers to develop highly reliable test benches, data acquisition and supervision systems, and fully customized software and hardware infrastructures. Our goal is to deliver precise, repeatable results that can be seamlessly integrated into predictive maintenance and validation processes.
Solutions designed for the needs of the sector
Our systems are used in various railway contexts for:
- Test benches for friction and dynamic braking, with active first-detachment simulation, compliant with testing standards used by major operators
- Data acquisition and supervision systems for testing mechanical, electrical, and fluid dynamic subsystems, with dedicated software for parameter management and customized graphical interfaces
- Cabins for continuous environmental analysis, designed for monitoring air quality in workshops, enclosed spaces, or operator cabins, with real-time detection of particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) and suspended metals
- Wastewater analysis systems, for monitoring and traceability of water used in maintenance processes
- Software for managing test bench operations, featuring structured data collection, reporting, and comparison with acceptance thresholds
- Collaborative robotic applications, such as automated assembly of railway seats or modular subcomponents
- Design of electrical panels for railway plants, with integrated automation logic and compatibility with existing installations
- Revamping of test benches, with complete retrofit of sensors, actuators, and control systems updated to meet the latest operational requirements
Real cases and specialized expertise
Over the years, we have collaborated with clients such as RFI, Wabtec, and railway plant manufacturers, delivering:
- A dynamometer test bench with an active first-detachment system and dual-axis measurement
- The complete revamping of a braking system, including control software and a new actuation system
- The integrated management of data collection and environmental analysis for maintenance workshops on rolling stock
