The Palixo system at a glance
Three components, one solution
AI-controlled lubrication
Our dynamic AI model applies friction modifier and lubricant precisely where it is needed. Minimum consumption, maximum effect.
Rolling stock & infrastructure monitoring
Keep the condition of your vehicle fleet and track network in full view at all times, from a single central dashboard
Troubleshooting
Modular sensors capture vibration, acoustic and camera data on both vehicle and infrastructure. Analysis runs flexibly via the software platform or with expert support.

Full transparency across the entire rail network: intelligent real-time monitoring keeps the condition of fleet and infrastructure tangible at all times. Early detection of anomalies turns reactive work into predictive planning, for maximum reliability and noticeably smoother rail operations.
Solution 1
Intelligent lubrication systems with noise and wear monitoring
Our intelligent lubrication system combines top-of-rail conditioning with wheel flange lubrication. Continuous noise and wear monitoring, together with our AI model, means lubricant is applied only when it is genuinely needed. That guarantees maximum efficiency at minimum consumption.
Intelligent flange lubrication
Minimises friction between the wheel flange and the rail gauge face and reduces wear on both wheel and rail. It also cuts flanging noise, the somewhat more broadband “curve grinding” sound, as distinct from curve squeal.
Intelligent top-of-rail conditioning
Reduces rail head wear through targeted application of friction modifier. The system automatically identifies critical track sections and optimises material usage.
Noise and wear monitoring
Sophisticated algorithms locate and quantify specific types of noise and wear across the network, and track how each develops at the hotspots over time.
Solution 2
Fleet & infrastructure monitoring
Monitor your entire fleet and infrastructure in real time. Our system continuously captures track and switch data, giving you full transparency over the condition of your vehicles and infrastructure. Spot problems before they arise: the system continuously analyses relevant measurement data and identifies anomalies early. You receive automatic alerts on critical deviations, for minimal downtime and predictable maintenance.
Solution 3
Troubleshooting
You have, or suspect, a problem on one or more vehicles or on the infrastructure. Our highly modular measurement hardware lets you position and run a wide range of sensors anywhere. On our software platform you can analyse the raw data and identify anomalies. If you wish, we are glad to support you and help track down the fault.
Vehicle types & manufacturers
Completely independent of vehicle manufacturer and vehicle type
Our highly modular, self-contained hardware integrates into any vehicle type from any manufacturer. All it needs is a 24 V DC power supply.
Vehicle types
- Metro / underground
- Tram / light rail
- Metre-gauge and main-line rail
- Multiple unit or locomotive
Lubrication systems
All common lubrication and rail conditioning systems are compatible with our intelligent system.
