SmartGrind

The SmartGrind software package, developed by ZETATECH, is a real time Rail Profile Grinding management tool. As rail replacement continues to be one of the largest expenses for high density main line railroads, maintenance techniques that extend rail life and reduce rail costs are closely scrutinized.


SmartGrind is a new tool designed for just this purpose. The fascinating and unique aspect of SmartGrind is that the analysis is performed in real time. A set of optical rail profile measuring systems is networked to the SmartGrind computer which accepts the as-captured rail profile for each rail. Two systems are used which capture rail profile ahead-of, and behind the grinder.
