PANTOhealth is a specialised clinic for pantograph and overhead line systems. We simulate the line before it is built, and we monitor it once it is running — so every design decision and every maintenance decision is backed by real engineering data, not assumptions.
Model, validate and optimise overhead line designs in an EN 50318-certified online platform — long before anything reaches the track.
Onboard IoT sensors on in-service trains capture the pantograph–catenary interaction and turn it into prioritized, located maintenance actions.
The pantograph and the overhead contact line only work as a pair — so we build for both sides of that relationship, across the whole asset lifecycle. Choose the phase you are in.
A modular, IoT-based system that watches pantograph and overhead line health during normal operation. Onboard hardware captures the interaction; AI-driven software turns it into prioritized maintenance decisions.
A fully online, independently certified platform that models overhead line behaviour under different operating conditions — so designs are validated and de-risked before they reach the track.
The two families feed each other. Field data from Monitoring shows how the line actually behaves; Simulation lets you test a fix or a redesign against that reality before you commit budget to it. Most customers start with one and grow into both.
You do not have to adopt the whole range at once. Most customers begin with the one module that answers their most expensive question — then expand from there.
"Which of my trains is damaging the line — and where?"
Instrument in-service trains and get located, prioritized alerts without taking a single slot out of the timetable.
"Is my overhead line still within tolerance across the network?"
Absolute, compliance-grade geometry and wear data — plus the trend history to show how fast a section is degrading.
"Will this catenary design hold up at line speed?"
Run static form-finding and dynamic interaction analysis in a certified tool, and hand the client evidence instead of an opinion.
"How does my pantograph behave under someone else's catenary?"
Model your pantograph against any AC or DC line up to 8 units per run — then validate the prediction with real onboard data.
Not sure which module fits? Tell us about your network or your project and our rail engineers will map it out with you — including custom sensor configurations that do not appear on this page.
Tell us what you are designing, running or maintaining. Our rail infrastructure engineers will walk you through the module — or the combination — that fits, and show you the real data behind it.
