IoT tracking solution monitors rail cars in the cold Norwegian winter

Bane NOR uses IoT tracking devices to keep track of important snow removal equipment and rail cars in the harsh arctic conditions of Northern Norway.

IoT tracking solutions are transforming railway operations. In Norway, Bane NOR—the state-owned company managing the national railway infrastructure—uses Trusted A/S tracking devices to keep snow removal equipment and wagons under control during harsh winters.

Never Lost: Real-Time Asset Visibility

Our main purpose is tracking wagons and equipment to know where they are,” says Jan-Magne Rakneberg, Application Manager at Bane NOR.
Before IoT tracking, locating equipment meant manual checks or phone calls. Today, it’s as simple as a few clicks thanks to Trusted’s solution.

Beyond Location: Service and Predictive Maintenance

Tracking isn’t just about position. Motion hours and utilization data help Bane NOR:

  • Plan maintenance
  • Optimize equipment usage
  • Manage rentals for infrastructure vendors

Large data sets enable predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and costs.

Reliable Hardware for Harsh Conditions

Bane NOR has used Trusted IoT devices for three years without failures.
“The quality is good—solid, unbreakable, and competitively priced,” says Rakneberg.
Features include:

  • Long battery life
  • Rugged design for winter conditions
  • User-friendly web and mobile apps
