Selectrail, a division of Selectrix Industries, in co-operation with strategic partners, Frauscher has recently won a major infrastructure project requiring development and delivery of axle counting systems for deployment in New Zealand.

The project is unique in that it required the detection of small wheels such as those used on maintenance vehicles (Hyrail) without modification of the systems outside the scope of the axle counter.  This has been achieved by combining knowledge and experience from existing applications across Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

Systems developed by Frauscher have enabled this to be achieved with no further cost implication to the client.  A combination of wheel detection devices and evaluation boards specifically designed for small wheel applications has been used.  The integrity of the equipment is ensured by its Cenelec SIL4 rating.

Managing Director of Selectrix, Mr David Stuckey said:

‘This is an exciting time for us and our clients.  The high level of technical knowledge and experience developed by our Selectrail Division, and the close strategic alliance with Frauscher has resulted in a sound and viable solution for the end user.’
