PantoInspect A/S

PantoInspect was the first company world-wide to develop an automated pantograph inspection system, in partnership with Banedanmark, the Danish railway infrastructure owner, around 2008. Today, PantoInspect is one of the world's most recognized and respected brands, and a market-leading manufacturer and supplier of automated and real-time Wayside Pantograph Monitoring systems to the global Railway industry. We have supplied several pantograph monitoring systems to some of the world's leading infrastructure owners and rolling stock operators such as Deutsche Bahn, RATP, Infrabel, Sydney Trains, Network Rail and TRA. The PantoSystem is the state-of-the-art solution for automatic pantograph monitoring, using PantoScanners to reliably capture images and 3D scans of pantographs on high-speed trains, running up to 350 km/hour. Our system provides early detection of damages on carbon strips and other mechanical defects of pantograph heads, which prevents teardown of overhead wiring, eliminates operational disruptions and reduces maintenance costs.
