G-EQ-450 - Automatic axle measurement installation
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender is part of the construction project for the new T1 tram line in Lausanne, a significant infrastructure development spanning approximately 4.725 km between Renens and Flon stations. This project, a key component of the "Axes forts" initiative for the Lausanne-Morges agglomeration, aims to enhance public transport capacity and improve the quality of life in a rapidly growing area. The new line will feature 10 stations, offering an estimated travel time of 15 minutes.
The specific focus of this tender is the procurement, delivery, installation, and commissioning of an automated system for measuring wheel profiles as trams pass through (au défilé). This system is crucial for the maintenance and operational integrity of the new Lausanne tramway. The scope of work includes providing comprehensive technical documentation, training for operational and maintenance staff, and conducting all necessary testing and validation prior to the system's operational deployment.
Key technical and functional requirements for the automated measurement device include:
* Automatic Bogie Identification: The system must be capable of identifying each individual bogie to ensure complete traceability of all measurements.
* Measurement Accuracy and Repeatability: High precision and repeatability are essential for reliable monitoring of wheel wear and the prompt detection of deviations from specified tolerances.
* In-Motion Measurement: Measurements must be performed automatically as the trams pass, without requiring prolonged vehicle immobilization, thereby maintaining operational flow.
* Robustness and Integration: The proposed equipment must be robust, suitable for the railway environment, and easily integrated with existing civil, mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic infrastructure. The system is intended for outdoor installation and must withstand environmental conditions.
This is a supplies contract in the Research sector. Located in Switzerland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.

Description
Auto-translated from FrenchThis tender is part of the construction project for the new tram line t1, approximately 4.725 km long, between Renens station and Flon station in Lausanne, which constitutes the first phase of the "Axes forts" project for the Lausanne-Morges agglomeration. This line will provide optimal service at high frequencies in this rapidly expanding sector and will complement the public transport network, also bringing improvements to the quality of life for residents. This project, 4,725 meters long, will include 10 stations for a journey time of approximately 15 minutes. This tender concerns the acquisition, delivery, installation, and commissioning of an automated wheel profile measurement device at the run-through for the new Lausanne tramway. The services also include the provision of complete technical documentation, training for user and maintenance personnel, as well as the necessary tests and validations before commissioning. The main technical and functional specifications expected for this device are as follows: * Automatic bogie identification: The system must recognize each individual bogie, ensuring complete traceability of the measurements taken. * Measurement accuracy and repeatability: The tool must ensure accurate measurement of the wheel profile with high repeatability to ensure reliable wear monitoring and quickly detect deviations from defined tolerances. * Run-through measurement: Measurements will be taken automatically without prolonged immobilization of vehicles, thus ensuring a smooth operational flow. * Robustness and easy integration: The proposed equipment must be robust and suitable for the railway environment, while easily integrating with existing installations (civil engineering, mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic). Located outdoors, it should withstand all typical weather conditions on site. * Ergonomic user interface: The tool must have an intuitive interface allowing simple and efficient use of the collected data, facilitating its integration into the predictive maintenance process. It must be able to communicate with the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) currently used by the contracting authority (SAP) in order to transmit information to the machining center.
