IEM Corp.: Wheel Inspection System Environment

IEM Corp.'s Wheel Inspection System Environment (WISE™) installations are composed of one or more subsystems for advanced conditions-based monitoring of railway wheels, brakes, bearings and other components subjected to wear and tear.

Subsystems include wheel profile, tread and disk brake measurement, wheel flaw detection and hot box bearing detection, among others. These systems collect measurements at the installation site, as well as store and transmit data within on-site networks or provide remote access through a secure Internet connection.

The goal is to analyze this data in meaningful ways to optimize fleet efficiency and effectively manage operator resources. Proactive maintenance schedules are designed around the results. Worn components are identified and replaced before incidents occur.
