Bender Rail Signal Power Monitoring and Managed Service Improves Railway Efficiency and Safety
 Bender is one of the world’s leading providers of rail solutions that make rolling stock and electrical infrastructures smart and safer.
Rail operators must ensure the absolute reliability and availability of networks and place their trust in Bender UK to support increasing needs to reduce ‘boots on ballast’ and improve the safety and efficiency of railway operations.
In the UK, Bender is an approved Network Rail partner for electrical safety and intelligent monitoring, with a proven track record in product design, supply, and technical support spanning over two decades.
Rail Signal Power monitoring
Bender multi-tier intelligent monitoring is one of the principal methods of tracking and locating faults on the UK rail network. However, less critical emerging core-to- earth faults at lower intervention/insulation limits are more difficult to track and pinpoint.
Latest generation Bender rail signal power monitoring (RS4) technology delivers the increased sensitivity required by Network Rail with solutions designed to meet Tier 1, 2 and 3 operating standard requirements and set new levels of safety and resilience. The technology delivers maximum visibility to assess the health and condition of power systems supporting signals, points, and communications across its infrastructure and enables more cost-effective network upgrades.

value added services
Increasingly operators also require real-time analysis alongside the availability of system data. Here, Bender remote monitoring and managed service capability adds substantial value to the RS4 intelligent power infrastructure monitoring.
This service is used by many UK rail routes and supports maintenance activity by checking the operation of hardware and software linked to Tier 1 and Tier 2 safety equipment in Functional Supply Points (FSPs) and Principal Supply Points (PSPs) associated with signalling electrical power distribution throughout the rail infrastructure.
Bender UK Technical Director Mumtaz Farooqi states: “Intelligent monitoring systems used on the signal power infrastructure are capable of advanced operation, and getting the maximum benefit requires advanced technical expertise. With our support, Network Rail can achieve a much higher level of functionality from the systems and the data they generate to identify developing problems, pinpoint areas at risk and recognise trends in the way their power infrastructure is performing.”
The managed service with inclusive data analysis delivered by Bender experts assesses both Bender and third-party equipment. Information is collated via dashboard and reporting software and includes diagnostics and repair, software and firmware updates, and engineer call-out and attendance to respond to system errors and assist Network Rail engineers with fault location.
