Mobile technology on trains
Barnbrook Systems is using its BlueCube remote condition monitoring sensors to gauge coolant temperatures in engines in real time.
The live data is tracked on an ‘iSenseMobile’ app, which can be viewed via tablet, laptop or desktop. The app can show exactly how any train’s engine is performing based on the entry and exit temperatures of coolant into its system.

Barnbrook chief technology officer Andrew Barnett said: ‘This technology is now revolutionising railways.
‘It places the power to diagnose performance and punctuality problems directly in the hands of the engineer.’
