Using of Rfid Technology in Maintenance Management

Abstract

Automated data collection helps to improve the precision of decision-making processes. Currently, the radio frequency identification technology belongs to the most common application in the field of identification technology. In the world, the implementation of RFID technology is used in almost all areas of industry. RFID tags allow to use of the different products and materials applications. The article provides an overview of using this technology to record and register maintenance intervals of railway wagons. The application of RFID technology helps to avoid huge disasters and accidents caused by lack of information about the technical state of rail freight wagons.

Smart techniques for technical conditions monitoring of railway wagons

“…This technology will allow tracking of specific components and parts in the wagon that could affect the operation of the truck. [10] The fault, as well as the overloading of the railway wagon, will then be signalled to the driver of the train concerned, but through the reading station and the nearest railway station. [11] Four axle open wagon type Eanos (Fig.1.…”

“…[6] Measurement of the weight of the wagon construction but also of the wagon flat wheels as well as the unevenness of the loading is possible on the strain gauge principle where, due to the piezoelectric phenomenon, the deformation is equal to the change in electrical resistance. [10] Thus, the load caused by the rail vehicle (wagon, locomotive) in the rails causes' deformation, which is the source of the output electrical signal, which is subsequently transformed into a digital form. The main component of the diagnostic sensor is a digital signal processor that includes A / D and D / A converters.…”
