PowerBriX Cloud - PowerTech′s solution for Predictive Maintenance

With PowerBriX, we are setting new standards in efficient power supply for rail vehicles and are able to offer market-defining compactness and weight values with increased efficiency through the use of state-of-the-art SiC technology. With PowerBriX Cloud, we have now achieved a further milestone towards technological leadership. Whereas previously operating, event or error files were only analyzed in the event of defects or errors, PowerBriX Cloud now enables continuous monitoring and signaling of impending maintenance needs.

This means even better availability of rail vehicles, as failure risks can be detected more quickly and service intervals can be variably arranged as required.

"We are pleased that we can now offer our customers continuous and proactive monitoring of their vehicle fleet. PowerBriX Cloud as a predictive maintenance solution is another contribution from PTC to ensure reliable, economical and sustainable operations for our customers," says Sebastian Thurau (Head of Engineering).
