The MRX Technologies Group has been providing services to the manufacturers and operators of rail systems since 1996.

"With the MRX Technologies Group, we are gaining a highly competent partner for collecting a full spectrum of measurement data related to rail systems."

The company owns a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for monitoring rolling stock components and rail infrastructure.

It is also known to provide measurement data that can be used to optimise rail systems and maintenance to facilitate the reduction of operating costs.

Operators within the industry frequently demand full availability of the rolling stock and infrastructure to avoid delays and operational failures.

Accordingly, the importance of predictive maintenance of rolling stock and rail infrastructure for rail companies is growing.
