Automated Wheel Profile Measurement System for Lausanne Tramway

This procurement opportunity is part of the construction project for the new T1 tram line, which will span approximately 4.725 km between Renens station and Flon station in Lausanne. This line is the first phase of the 'Strong Axes' project for the Lausanne-Morges area, aimed at enhancing public transport and improving the quality of life for residents in a rapidly growing sector. The project includes 10 stations and will reduce travel time to about 15 minutes. The tender seeks the acquisition, delivery, installation, and commissioning of an automated wheel profile measurement device for the new Lausanne tramway. Key services include providing complete technical documentation, training for users and maintenance staff, and necessary testing and validation before operational use. The main technical and functional specifications expected for this device are: * Automatic bogie identification: The system must recognize each individual bogie, ensuring complete traceability of measurements. * Measurement accuracy and repeatability: The tool must guarantee precise wheel profile measurements with high repeatability to reliably monitor wear and quickly detect deviations from defined tolerances. * Rolling measurement: Measurements will be taken automatically without prolonged vehicle immobilization, ensuring smooth operational flow. * Robustness and easy integration: The proposed equipment must be robust and suitable for the railway environment, easily integrating with existing installations (civil engineering, mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic). As it will be located outdoors, it should withstand all typical weather conditions at the site. * User-friendly interface: The tool must have an intuitive interface for simple and effective data utilization, facilitating integration into predictive maintenance processes. It should be able to communicate with the current ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system used by the project owner (SAP) to transmit information to the machining center.
