Smart Power Inverter Monitoring

Summary The functionality of the auxiliary power converters (APCs) plays a central role in ensuring the operational readiness and availability of railway vehicles. To optimally monitor and maintain these critical systems, ABB relies on Cloud-as-a-Module from Embever. Through real-time monitoring of the APCs, ABB can react early to irregularities – a decisive step towards a more flexible, demand-driven maintenance model instead of fixed maintenance cycles.
