What is Swix?

What is Swix?

SWIX is an end-to-end remote condition solution for predicting and preventing switch failure. The solution features sensor nodes placed at critical areas of the switch to dynamically characterise the switch component health and substructure condition each time rolling stock passes the site.

How does Swix work with tamping?

Through SWIX’s historic, real-time and predictive asset monitoring capabilities, Infrastructure Managers can identify the optimal time to tamp a site. Post tamping, SWIX delivers the detailed data to validate successful tamping operations. Is vertical displacement the same as voiding?

Does Swix work for bearers and sleepers?

For concrete bearers and sleepers, SWIX features a proprietary adhesive mounting solution which does not require drilling so does not weaken the bearer or sleepers in critical areas. An alternative mounting arrangement is available for timber sleepers and bearers.

How many Swix sensors do I need for a typical installation?

Therefore, a typical installation features two SWIX sensors, one at the toe of the switch, and another at the crossing nose. With devices installed at these locations, the Infrastructure Manager can monitor the most critical and troublesome components of the S&Cs.
