Our technology continuously monitors the temperature and humidity on the rails. As soon as a risk of freezing is detected, the PLC control system automatically activates the heating elements. This proactive process is crucial for the operational continuity of ProRail during winter conditions.
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is the brain of the system. It processes data from the sensors, makes autonomous decisions to turn the heating on or off, and communicates the status to the central management system for maintenance and monitoring.
RJ Kross designs systems for various railway junctions (railway junctions/crossings), from simple switches to complex crossings. Each system is custom-designed to meet specific infrastructure requirements and safety standards.
Yes. In addition to installation, we provide full support, including remote system monitoring, periodic maintenance, and fast technical service to guarantee the reliability of your railway technology.
Due to the precise, sensor data-based control, energy is only consumed when strictly necessary. This prevents waste and minimizes operational costs, while full functionality is guaranteed.
