VR Group has implemented trackside UHF RFID readers across Finland’s 5,900km rail network capable of identifying freight wagons at speeds up to 250km/h in temperatures as low as -45°C. This deployment enables real-time synchronization of axle and wheel sensor data with specific wagons, allowing operators to transition from reactive repairs to high-speed, automated preventive maintenance in extreme environments.
