Kontron, the manufacturer of SI3000 – ISKRATEL equipment (Slovenia), in partnership with ISTEL 3000, offers cutting-edge technological solutions for the railway sector that have proven effective across the European Union.
One such solution is PantoSystem — an advanced system for automated pantograph diagnostics in traction rolling stock. It ensures precise and reliable damage detection through a combination of artificial intelligence, advanced data analysis algorithms, and 3D laser triangulation.
Key features of PantoSystem include:
24/7 continuous operation in all weather conditions (from -40°C to +50°C, with humidity up to 98%);
Real-time scanning of trains at speeds of up to 350 km/h;
Automated generation of 3D images of pantographs in real time;
Instant alerts upon detection of damage;
Easy integration and maintenance without disrupting regular train operations.
The system is particularly effective when deployed at depot exits, on high-speed passenger routes, and at border crossings — enabling monitoring of both domestic and foreign rolling stock.
Additionally, PantoSystem can be integrated with PantoTrace — a rolling stock identification system that combines RFID tags with OCR (optical character recognition). This enables accurate correlation between specific train units and the condition data of their pantographs.
PantoTrace can also operate independently as a rolling stock identification system, with or without RFID tags. Kontron has successfully implemented these solutions across EU railways, including in Slovenia, and they can be adapted to meet the needs of Ukrainian infrastructure operators and railway carriers.
ISTEL 3000 is available to provide further information, offer technical consultations, and organize presentations for interested clients.
