KEY FACTS
What can Heavy Duty TAG > Wireless Bluetooth Sensor provide?
The wireless Bluetooth Low Energy sensor Heavy Duty TAG is the base of an intelligent condition monitoring system for various industrial applications. Acceleration and tilt can be recorded. With the HD TAG, for instance, rail operators can measure anomalies in wheel-rail contact, and then, detect the condition of driveline components and rail infrastructure.

Function
Predictive Maintenance Planning with ZF Infrastructure and Driveline Monitoring
In the infrastructure and driveline monitoring system, the wireless sensor Heavy Duty TAG forms the basis for the condition monitoring of vehicle components and the rail infrastructure. The HD TAG can be mounted either on the transmission or the bogie.The recorded data is transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy to a Secure Gateway (VCU Pro Onboard Unit). Afterwards, the acquired measurement and route data is processed and securely sent to the ZF IoT Cloud.Rail operators obtain up-to-date analysis results, which supports maintenance cycle planning, in order to improve condition, increase efficiency and avoid unplanned downtimes. Wear, damage and potential danger spots are then detected at an early stage.
