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 efficiently serving a rapidly growing sector and enhancing public transport while improving the quality of life for residents. The project includes 10 stations and aims for a travel time of about 15 minutes. The tender is for the acquisition, delivery, installation, and commissioning of an automated wheel profile measurement device for the new Lausanne tramway. The services also include providing complete technical documentation, training for users and maintenance personnel, and necessary testing and validation before operation. Key technical and functional specifications for this device include: * 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) used by the project owner (SAP) to transmit information to the machining center.
