Monitoring and Automation Solutions for Rail Infrastructure and Rolling Stock
JUMO is a global leading system and solution provider in industrial and automation technology. We are experts in measurement and automation solutions with more than 70 years of expertise in precision engineering. Our work in the railway industry is guided by a clear mission to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient train operations, even when exposed to the toughest environmental challenges. Whether in high-speed trains, regional transport, or freight applications, our sensors and systems comply with relevant railway standards such as EN 50155 and EN 45545. From temperature and pressure monitoring to intelligent control systems, JUMO provides both standard products and tailor-made solutions designed to meet the unique requirements of rolling stock and infrastructure.
Railway Applications
Drive Systems and Wheelset Gearboxes
Reliable traction depends on accurate monitoring of gearboxes, axle bearings and traction motors. JUMO delivers German engineering quality across its entire portfolio with EN 50155-compliant RTD temperature probes, robust pressure transmitters and electronic thermostats that provide precise measurement and long-term stability in both diesel and electric drive systems. Each product is designed to withstand vibration, shock and extreme temperature fluctuations that are typical in railway operation. For wheelset monitoring JUMO offers an additional level of assurance with a probe that is engineered and manufactured in Switzerland. This Swiss-made solution combines precision manufacturing with the highest safety standards and has been developed specifically for demanding railway applications, ensuring maximum reliability in wheelset bearing temperature monitoring throughout the service life of the train.
Brake Systems and Pneumatics
Compressed air is essential for safe braking performance and auxiliary functions. JUMO MIDAS S19 R pressure transmitters ensure precise monitoring of brake circuits, compressors, and pneumatic subsystems. From interior train doors to sand spreading systems, our solutions help operators maintain consistent pressure levels while ensuring operational safety.
Interior Climate Control
Passenger comfort is guaranteed through advanced HVAC monitoring. JUMO offers RTD probes, thermostats, and float switches that ensure stable temperature, pressure, and level control in heating and air-conditioning systems. Our sensors enable optimal climate control even under extreme ambient conditions, supporting energy efficiency and reliability in daily operations.
Service Water and Wastewater Systems
In modern rolling stock, reliable monitoring of water and wastewater tanks is critical. JUMO provides frost protection thermostats, differential pressure transmitters, and float switches that ensure safe operation of service water, toilet, and extinguishing water systems – even in harsh winter environments.
Rail Infrastructure and Signalling Equipment
Beyond rolling stock, JUMO also contributes to railway infrastructure. Our rugged temperature probes and thermostats are used in railway switch heaters, preventing ice and snow from disrupting operations. For signalling and control equipment, JUMO’s robust and vibration resistant sensors guarantee process stability and long-term safety.
Case Study
A recent collaboration with leading European train manufacturers highlights JUMO’s strength in developing application-specific solutions. One example is our wheelset temperature probe, engineered and manufactured in Switzerland, which provides reliable monitoring of axle bearings under continuous shock, vibration and thermal stress. This sensor embodies Swiss precision and has been tailored to meet the exact safety and performance requirements of modern rolling stock, directly supporting RAMS objectives in large fleet projects.
With a comprehensive portfolio that spans temperature, pressure, level and climate monitoring, JUMO is a dependable partner for operators, OEMs and system integrators throughout the rail sector. Our focus lies not only on proven product reliability but also on creating individual solutions that integrate seamlessly into vehicle concepts and infrastructure. From the first design stage to series production and long-term service, we work alongside our customers to enhance safety, efficiency and passenger comfort worldwide.
