Overview
The new trains in Singapore are part of Land Transport Authorithy`s efforts to enhance existing rail capacity for the coming years. Out of the 42 trains, 18 trains are aimed at the North East Line (NEL) of the network while the Circle Line (CCL) will receive the 24 trains. This will improve fleet capacity by 60-70% on both lines.
The Gantner Solution
Once train cars shipped to Singapore they carrry out testing before they put them in to operation.
Test Measurement and Control system from Gantner Instruments equipped with multi-channel analog input modules and Dynamic High Voltage input modules with high isolations for Train testing for the complete driverless metro system designed and constructed by Alstom which are operating on NEL (North East Line) and CCL (Circle Line) Railway lines. The Alstom Metropolis C830 are the second generation of communication-based train control (CBTC) rolling stock currently using in Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) lines to meet the growing demand of passengers in Singapore.

Hydrogen systems are a steadily growing field encompassing several technologies, such as liquefied hydrogen storage tanks, fuel cells, and cryogenic engines. These require meticulous temperature monitoring to ensure system integrity and performance. Operating in these low-temperature environments presents unique challenges, such as thermal contraction of materials, sensor self-heating, and the non-linearity of cryogenic sensors. Without accurate measurement, performance degradation and potential system failures become risks.

There are many reasons for a flexible and robust measurement system that must be easy to transport to collect measurement data at different locations. These can be, e.g., short-term measurements on machines or plant components during commissioning after maintenance or recurring measurements on bridges or other engineering structures.
