Turn condition into something the railway can act on.

See how much of the vehicle’s weight is carried by each wheel.

Choose it when: the vehicle must be balanced after production, overhaul, suspension work or modification

Find internal or near-surface defects without destroying the wheel or axle.

Choose it when: material integrity matters, not just external dimensions

Measure wheel diameter, flange, tyre, tread profile and other portable wheel parameters.

Choose it when: technicians need repeatable wheel measurements directly in the depot

Map where track gauge, alignment, level, twist or rail condition has changed.

Choose it when: maintenance needs exact locations rather than general route complaints

Measure the real space around the railway and compare it with what a vehicle or load needs.

Choose it when: introducing new rolling stock, special loads or infrastructure changes

Combine repeated track, rail, catenary, clearance, visual and vehicle measurements.

Choose it when: the operator needs network-scale condition information rather than one local survey

Turn a drawing, rule or wear limit into a fast physical workshop check.

Choose it when: a dedicated pass/fail or dimensional gauge is the most practical method

Watch how vehicles and infrastructure behave over time to find developing problems.

Choose it when: the maintenance team wants an earlier trigger between scheduled inspections

A decision-maker should understand the outcome first: find imbalance, locate a hidden defect, identify worn geometry, map track condition, verify clearance or detect a developing trend. Exact accuracy, range and configuration come later with CBP.

CBP will narrow the technology route before discussing exact configuration.
