One connected system

Test the brake.
Measure the force.

BrakeBEE efficiently covers the required pneumatic brake test. ForceBEE adds direct measurement at every brake position. Together, they create the data foundation for safer and more economical maintenance decisions.

BrakeBEE

Brake testing without long cable and hose runs.

A modular mobile system designed for real workshop conditions - with wireless modules, guided procedures and automatic documentation.

Mobile measuring trolley

Controls MBP, MRP and T pilot pressures and connects all wireless measuring modules.

T-BEE extensions

Battery-powered extensions for separate control of T pilot pressures.

Flexible test execution

Perform brake tests manually, semi-automatically or fully automatically.

ForceBEE ready

Add direct brake force measurement without additional integration effort.

03

ForceBEE

Know the force.
Not just the pressure.

Ultra-thin force sensors measure directly at each brake position. The result is objective data for diagnostics, safety decisions and condition-based maintenance.

ForceBEE thin-film brake force sensor
01

Minimal setup time

Install the sensors without removing brake pads and without opening the brake cylinder.

02

Maximum effectiveness

Measure multiple brake positions simultaneously and receive results directly after the test.

03

Designed for CBM

Track measurement data over time and support decisions based on actual brake condition.

Drag & Drop
Cloud

Configure by drag & drop.

Build digital vehicles and test procedures in the cloud, then transfer them to every BrakeBEE system.

  • No programming knowledge required
  • Reusable vehicle configurations
BrakeBEE guided application on a tablet
Tablet application

Guidance for every test step.

The tablet guides the operator through manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic brake tests and generates the report.

  • Clear step-by-step guidance
  • Automatic digital test reports

The business case

More insight.
Less unnecessary work.

01

Increase vehicle availability

Integrate brake testing into workshop processes and reduce additional test runs.

02

Detect faults earlier

Combine pneumatic test data with the force measured at each individual brake position.

03

Extend component life responsibly

Use objective condition data instead of replacing components solely because a fixed interval has expired.

04

Build a complete history

Retain vehicle, test and measurement data as the foundation for condition-based maintenance.

Confirmed in real operations

What railway experts say.

ÖBB

ForceBEE is used in multiple workshops for recurring brake-force measurements and supports early detection of defective brake components.
