Trimble BrakeView-Pad system utilizes high-speed digital imaging together with laser based structural light and other illumination sources to automate brake pad inspection.

The information that BrakeView-Pad generates enables rolling stock operators to improve and optimize their maintenance processes. Worn or defective pads can be identified and maintained earlier, reducing costly incidents. Data driven predictive maintenance practices can be used to maximize component lifecycles and reduce maintenance costs.
