Real-Time Alerts
Seamless Integration
Reduced Maintenance
Introducing our revolutionary Wheel Hardness Monitoring System, designed to automate escalator safety by continuously monitoring wheel health, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring passenger safety.
Rubber tyres on escalator wheels can crack and perish over time, potentially leading to steps sinking or collapsing, which poses significant safety risks. Manual inspections, typically conducted during overnight downtime, are arduous tasks for maintenance crews due to limited access and labour-intensive processes.
Ensure the smooth and safe operation of your escalators with the revolutionary Wheel Hardness Monitoring System. This automated solution, installed into the wheel tracks, measures the Shore hardness of each wheel as it passes, at daily or weekly intervals. The head withdraws at other times to prevent tyre wear.
Our system provides continuous monitoring without the need for escalator shutdowns or manual inspections, and will automatically deploy SMS and/or email alerts to key stakeholders when a rubber tyre needs to be replaced.
Why Monitor Wheel Hardness?
Monitoring the hardness of escalator wheels is essential for several reasons:
SAFETY ASSURANCE
Escalator safety relies on the condition of the step wheels. Cracked or perished rubber tyres can lead to catastrophic failures, posing significant safety risks to passengers. By continuously monitoring wheel hardness, potential issues can be identified early, preventing accidents and ensuring passenger safety. This also helps to minimise downtime, reduces reactive maintenance costs, and extends the lifespan of escalator components.
COST SAVINGS
Manual inspections require significant resources in terms of manpower and time. By automating the monitoring process, the need for manual tyre inspections is eliminated, resulting in substantial cost savings over time.
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Continuous monitoring provides real-time insights into the condition of escalator wheels, enabling operators to optimise maintenance schedules and allocate resources more efficiently. This leads to improved operational efficiency and escalator performance.
COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
Many regulatory standards and safety guidelines mandate regular inspections of escalator components, including wheel hardness. By implementing a comprehensive monitoring system, operators can ensure compliance with these regulations and avoid potential penalties.
