Our approach
Makies AG wanted to retrofit the BDe 576 railcar with an energy measurement system. PROSE, together with our workshop partner, carried out this trial installation. PROSE was responsible for the electrical dimensioning, product selection and the final conversion documentation. The workshop partner was responsible for product procurement, installation of the Energy measurement system (EMS) components, wiring and commissioning.
We developed a structured the template for the installation instructions and completed it with all product selection-relevant data for the current and voltage converter, Ecomodul, fuse protection and router. Product selection was defined based on the infrastructure requirements and existing onboard installations, incorporating experience gained from comparable system installation and operation. The final installation documentation includes the complete installation instructions and the product list.
Customer benefit
By commissioning PROSE, the customer benefits from our extensive experience in rail vehicle integration engineering. The proposed mechanical and electrical solutions supported a robust and sustainable energy measurement system installation. Our neutral advisory role ensured effective coordination between all project participants, particularly the workshop, reducing interface risks and supporting efficient implementation.
