Wabtec Corp., a freight and transit rail supplier, is buying Trimble’s Beena Vision business, a manufacturer of inspection systems.
Beena Vision’s technology provides a condition assessment of train components while operating in service and at high speeds.
Wabtec creates transportation services and provides equipment, systems, and digital services for the freight and transit rail industries.
Trimble is an industrial technology company that aims to transform the agriculture, construction, and transportation industries.
“We set out to identify the ideal company to carry forward our rolling stock wayside monitoring solutions and we have found that company in Wabtec,” said Ron Bisio, Trimble’s senior vice president. “Trimble will continue to develop cloud-based Internet of Things rail solutions for rolling stock lifecycle management and will increase its focus on solutions for railway infrastructure surveying, construction, and maintenance, which are closely aligned to its core industry segments.”
