NxGen Rail's High-Speed Technology Revolutionizes Railway Inspection
Posted:
NxGen Rail Services, a subsidiary of Sasser Family Holdings, Inc. (SFH) recently
announced the launch of NxTrack, the first fully integrated, line speed, rail track
inspection system.

"In the railroad industry, accurate information on track condition has become
increasingly important yet data collection has suffered from speed-restricted
vehicles and multiple technologies. NxTrack integrates multiple technologies
into a single platform to create the first inspection system of its kind on the
market," said Kelly Pronek, Director of Corporate Communications and Marketing
at SFH. "NxTrack offers customers a 360-degree view of the rail to easily and
accurately assess the condition of their track infrastructure, integrity, geometry,
and ballast."

The NxTrack system includes full Geometry, Optical, and Ground Penetrating
Radar (GPR). The inspection module railcar rides along at line speed while
collecting essential, real-time data with the on-board, proprietary analysis and
management software. The software interprets the track condition using Federal
Railroad Authority-based rules and delivers results to the customer.

"NxGen Rail represents Sasser Family Holding’s continued commitment to the
industries we serve. The decision to expand our business into rail track
inspection was one we spent a great deal of time and research on," said Shad
Peterson, President of SFH. "We now have a seasoned team committed to
developing unique solutions for our customers. I’m looking forward to seeing the
positive contributions that NxGen and the NxTrack product line will make in the
industry."

NxTrack allows customers to inspect miles of track from a single system utilizing
various methods. For detected problems, the system employs machine
intelligence to analyze and report the probable root cause. Engineers can then
make better maintenance decisions.

NxTrack is available from NxGen Rail in two ways: with full-service operation on
customer rail lines; or under long or short-term lease to the customer.
