Together with ART we offer a comprehensive portfolio of proven onboard, control centre and management technologies that enable a continuous improvement process for safety, asset productivity and cost reduction for rail operations. The current portfolio is divided in two comprehensive solution sets named Alta Enhanced Train Control (AETC) and Alta Performance Management Suite (APMS). By integrating AETC with other Gear Rail solutions, we developed the ATCS (African Train Control System) to address the specific requirements of Africa for train control systems.

Gear Rail and Massa Weighing and Industrial Automation provide In-Motion Rail Scales (IMRS) to railways and for use in rail terminals, striving for precision and optimisation of the weighing process. Massa’s weighing solutions for railways, mining and rail logistics companies allow the control of loading & unloading process and identify overload,under-utilisation and load distribution of their wagons.

Gear Rail and Indurad solutions are used at bulk terminals to unlock the full potential of terminal operations. Our remote control and automation systems improve safety and turnover rate and are used to control functions including collision prevention; hatch detection and load measurement for full ship loader automation; stockpile inventory control using volumetric measurement technology; and conveyor belt monitoring including volumetric load, belt speed & misalignment control.

Gear Rail and Zetica Rail have partnered to provide trackbed condition measurement and asset mapping services to freight and public transport railroad companies as well as regulators and contractors. The benefits of our integrated above-and below-ground mapping services include:

• providing relevant information for condition-based maintenance planning;
• reduce the impact of recurring speed restrictions by fixing trackbed problems firstime;
• confirming the quality of maintenance carried out (audit); and
• determining the root cause of track geometry faults or derailments to prevent reoccurrence.
