Energy-autonomous vibration sensor

  • For freight wagons and assets without power or network
  • Developed as demonstrator VCD4.3 in the EU EdgeAI project

How it works

  1. Harvest energyA piezo element turns vibration at the axle box into electricity.
  2. Grade on boardA lean time-domain classifier detects wheel flats and bearing faults.
  3. Report over RFIDThe result sits on a passive RFID tag and is read out without contact.
