ACFM - Walking Stick Software

ACFM for Rails

Inspection PC

TSC developed software specifically for the Walking Stick. Called "ACFM for Rails", the software is capable of automatic detection and sizing of defects with audible alarms dependent on the severity of defect encountered. Data is stored ready for return to base where an office-based computer can be used to archive and review the gathered data.

A laptop computer provides a real time display to the operator as well as STORING ALL DATA for subsequent review and analysis by third parties. The system is designed specifically to put less reliance on the operator's decision and provides semi automated rating of defect severity, summary reports of largest defect in a particular length of rail and capabilities for downloading into client databases.

Features of this software include:

  • Audible warning of defects.
  • Deepest defect per yard automatically reported and sized.
  • Longitudinal position in miles and yards on rail recorded.
  • Industry standard terminology used in setup.
  • Network Rail approved data summary produced as standard.
  • Automated export of inspection summary in Microsoft Excel format.
  • Import and archive of all inspection data on an office based system.
