Wi-Tronix, the global provider of LDARS (Locomotive Data Acquisition Recording Systems), has been identified for many years by its iconic purple Wi-PU. The company’s new technology, Violet™, described as “a revolutionary solution that will provide unprecedented monitoring for our clients’ high-value mobile assets . . . providing features that render all other LDARS obsolete,” will be sporting a new identification—orange.
Violet’s new logo is pictured above.
Wi-Tronix will introduce Violet On May 17, 2016 at its annual conference, which will be held in Chicago. The conference, “a can’t-miss industry event,” is attended by CEOs and operations, and information technology professionals as well as industry media, thought leaders and government policymakers. Company officials will detail Violet’s operational and technological advances, demonstrate the new system and answer questions.
Wi-Tronix says Violet “is a game-changer, a new standard,” and points out that LDARS is a major component of PTC (Positive Train Control), which new government regulations require that railways install by year-end 2018.
“Throughout our company history, we’ve led the way in innovation,” says Wi-Tronix Executive Vice President-Business Development Michael Heilmann. “Violet is no exception. As an innovative leader in the transportation industry, Wi-Tronix monitors 10,000 locomotives worldwide, improving the safety, reliability, and efficiency of both passenger and freight railroad operations.”
Orders for Violet will be accepted at the conference. Wi-Tronix is now accepting conference reservations for customers. For more information regarding the conference or Violet, contact Wi-Tronix at 1-888-WI-TRONIX.
