Trimble TrainView system uses high-speed and high-definition digital imaging together with specially designed illumination sources to produce multiple high resolution images of side and top of every car (wagon). For reliable automatic inspections and to capture all externally visible components, multiple imaging scanner units are employed in the TrainView system. The number and configuration of the scanner boxes can be adapted to the specific site and customer requirements.

The system benefits rail operators by assisting rail car (wagon) inspectors with visual inspection processes and by providing the maintenance alerts for defective car (wagon) components. TrainView is also of relevance in the security industry where the detection of foreign objects on trains is becoming a critical issue for the rail transportation industry.
