ENSCO Rail
KLD Labs, an ENSCO Rail company, offers WheelScan, an advanced wayside wheel measurement system designed to operate at track speed and deliver precise, real-time data on wheel profiles for locomotives, freight, and passenger cars. It measures critical wear parameters including flange height, width, angle, qR, rim thickness, diameter, and back-to-back gauge. WheelScan enables railroads to eliminate manual inspections, optimize maintenance cycles, and prevent costly failures through predictive analytics. The system integrates with TrainBase? for fleet-wide data visibility and can link to ERP platforms like SAP or Maximo. Trusted globally, WheelScan supports safe, efficient operations in mainline, yard, and workshop environments.
