Engineering and Consulting
Engineering and consulting
From the manufacturer’s experience, the certainty of applied consultancy.
The Manufacturer’s DNA
Engineering consultancy in the railway sector requires a deep understanding of how technologies perform in real operating conditions.
As designers and manufacturers of railway diagnostic systems, ADTS combines engineering expertise with direct field experience across infrastructure and rolling stock.
The technologies we develop and validate in-house, form the basis of our consulting approach, ensuring recommendations that are technically sound and operationally feasible.
Consulting Areas
Infrastructure Monitoring Tender & Specification Advisory
Support in drafting tenders and defining technical specifications for railway infrastructure monitoring systems
Maintenance Technology & Monitoring Advisory
Technical consulting for maintenance contractors in selecting and integrating appropriate monitoring and diagnostic solutions
Rolling Stock Monitoring Tender & Specification Advisory
Support in drafting tenders and defining technical requirements for wayside rolling stock monitoring systems
Infrastructure Monitoring Tender & Specification Advisory
For Railway Infrastructure Managers and Public Authorities
We support infrastructure managers in defining technically coherent railway tenders and evaluating diagnostic systems throughout the procurement process.
Specification Drafting
Development of realistic technical requirements aligned with proven system performance and operational constraints.Technical Validation
Engineering-based assessment of proposed solutions, focusing on performance, integration feasibilityVendor Independence
The support provided is not linked to any “turn-key” diagnostic vehicle, but only to the technical aspects of each specific diagnostic equipment.- Vendor Transparency
Upon request of the tenderer, the manufacturer will provide notice of its supplies to any specific bidder. It is underlined that the bidding phase can take place only after the completion of the Technical Tender Advisory phase.
Maintenance Monitoring Technology Advisory
For Railway Maintenance Contractors and In-House Maintenance Departments
We support maintenance contractors in integrating diagnostic technologies into operational railway vehicles and workflows, ensuring reliable data acquisition without compromising daily operations.
System Integration
Engineering support for the integration of sensors and measurement systems on complex maintenance vehicles, with attention to mechanical, electrical and operational constraints.Data Interpretation & Workflow Optimization
Technical guidance in transforming diagnostic reports into actionable maintenance decisions, aligned with field operations and worksite planning.
Rolling Stock Monitoring Tender & Specification Advisory
For Rolling Stock Owners and Fleet Managers
We support rolling stock owners and fleet managers in improving fleet availability through wayside monitoring strategies.
Design for Maintenance & Monitoring Architecture
Advisory on the selection and integration of wayside monitoring systems, aligned with vehicle configuration, maintenance strategy and long-term operability.Data Analysis & Alarm Optimization
Engineering-driven analysis of diagnostic data to reduce false positives, improve alarm relevance and support predictive maintenance decisions.
