SWiX is a battery-operated wireless sensor capable of measuring component health and substructure condition on rail assets. Secured to a bearer or sleeper located in critical areas of railway infrastructure, SWiX takes measurements with each pass of rolling stock.

Data is periodically sent to the cloud where it is analysed and may be remotely viewed by the Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM) Engineers. Once integrated with SCT’s Smart Cloud the solution ultimately enables asset owners to predict failures and conduct preventative maintenance with bespoke data analytics. SWiX forms part of a suite of IoT products within SCT’s Smart Ecosystem.
