TURBO
Find flat spots before they find your track.
TURBO is a laser-based wayside system that measures wheel-rail forces under real operating conditions — detecting flat spots and tread damage automatically, with no track modifications.

The problem / Operational challenges
Why operators switch.
Manual workshop inspections take vehicles out of service.
Defects are found after the damage, not before.
The result / Measurable value
Less cost. More certainty.
Save Money
Condition-based maintenance replaces fixed-interval manual inspections.
Save Time
Fully automated diagnostics under real operating conditions, with real-time alerts.
Reduce Wear & Tear
Early detection of flat spots, polygonisation and rim defects protects wheels, track and bearings.
