Athena Industrial began with a focus on creating novel technologies and testing methods for a variety of industrial applications. Since then, we have become a Designer and Manufacturer of rail safety solutions; Including but not limited to, Remote Monitoring Systems, Rail Contact Fatigue (RCF) detection tools, Crossing Monitoring and Communication Technology. 

Our mission is to assist our customers in their efforts to monitor, analyze, and protect their assets.

ARCD

Advanced Rail Condition Detector

Advanced Rail Condition Detector (ARCD) is a robust, autonomous detection system to detect Train Presence and Broken Rail in monitored areas with emphasis on Dark Territory. The system was designed to detect Broken Rail and Train Presence in areas that do not have signals or train control systems (Dark Territory) with emphasis on locations without available communication services.

More Info

  • -All clean breaks within the rail.

    -Breaks which happen under the train will be detected once the train leaves the monitored section. 

  • Package: IP65

    Operating: -55 C to +50 C ambient

  • US Pat# 11,975,750 B2

    CAN Pat# 3,154,954

  • Power Source: Surface solar, external 12V - 22V

    Battery: 12 AH (AGM or gel cell)

RAGA

Non-Contact Rail Head Integrity Scanning

Athena’s RAGA Rail Scanning System is a high speed, non-contact Rolling Contact Fatigue measurement tool for detecting and quantifying cracks and spalling in the running surface. RAGA scans from the field corner to the gauge corner covering the running surface of both rails and takes measurements at speeds up to 45km/h (25 mph aprox).

More Info

  • Maximum Speed 25 MPH / 45 KPH

  • Spalling

    Cracking

    • Shaped Electromagnetic Field Imaging (SEMFI)

    • No Couplant is required for RAGA sensors or trolleys

    • 10 mm working distance from rail

    • Unaffected by rain, snow, mud, sand, dust or grinding residue

ACMS

Autonomous Crossing Monitoring System

Athena’s Autonomous Crossing Monitoring System (ACMS) is a cost effective and easily configurable passive grade crossing system consisting of LED enhanced signs which alert the driving public to upcoming train activity.


    • Designed around the guiding principle of Athena’s ARCD Rail Break Detectors. ACMS is built for remote operation.

    • Patented Train presence detection technology actively monitors 1 mile in either direction of the crossing for train presence.

    • Enhance with LED Illumination. Designed to reduce the potential for accidents in these important parts of rail infrastructure.

    • ACMS System can be customized for any configuration of illuminated signage suitable
