Welcome to Wayside Inspection Devices

Proven Technology. Smarter Railways.

At Wayside Inspection Devices (WID), we pioneer monitoring systems that help railways work smarter, safer, and more cost-effectively. Our flagship TBOGI technology gives railways the clarity to realize longer asset lifespans and improved cost efficiencies.

Smarter Insights for Stronger Performance

Our advanced laser-based TBOGI systems measure the complex behavior of wheelsets and bogies as they pass, without disrupting operations. From freight to metro networks, TBOGI delivers precision insights that translate into real-world advantages:

  • Longer wheel and rail life through early defect detection
  • Lower maintenance costs by identifying root causes, not just symptoms
  • Improved safety and reliability with predictive alerts and clear diagnostics
  • Reduced energy and fuel use by spotting rolling stock with elevated rolling resistance
