apis® Automated Pantograph Inspection System
Decrease Dwell Time While Increasing Safety
The apis® Automated Pantograph Inspection System captures high resolution images of pantographs and automatically associates them with the associated railcar. This is invaluable for any electronically-driven transit company by eliminating the need for routine manual inspection, greatly enhancing maintenance operations and minimizing the unplanned down time.
This robust, fully scalable IP-based architecture is equiped with real-time, intelligent video capabilities.
