What happened
Hitachi showcased its HMAX for Rail platform at CEATEC 2026 in Japan. The platform utilizes a compact vibration sensor, Perpetuum Onboard, installed beneath train carriages. This sensor monitors mechanical vibrations, which change as train components wear out or develop defects. This allows railway operators to detect potential mechanical problems before they cause service disruptions.
