Railway. Powered by precision: ASC brings German sensor technology to InnoRail India

From November 26-28, InnoRail India 2026 brings together railway operators, technology providers and industry experts to explore the innovations shaping the next generation of rail transportation. ASC Sensors is exhibiting at Booth 10.3, presenting high-precision inertial sensor solutions for safer, smarter and more efficient railway operations.

ASC is participating as part of the German Pavilion, the official joint presence of German industry supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and organized jointly with the German Railway Industry Association (VDB).

Better rail decisions start with better data

For ASC customers, the timing could hardly be better. India is investing heavily in the future of mobility. High-speed rail, new freight corridors and expanding metro networks are creating demand for technologies that can improve capacity, reliability and safety – while making railway assets more efficient to operate and maintain.

That is precisely where better measurement data can make a difference.

ASC develops and manufactures high-precision accelerometers, gyroscopes and inertial measurement units (IMUs) that make movement, vibration and dynamic forces visible – on rolling stock as well as tracks, bridges and other critical infrastructure.

Applications extend across the railway lifecycle: from vehicle dynamics, running behavior and homologation testing to ride comfort, track monitoring, high-speed pantograph contact force testing, navigation and automated train operation. Increasingly, sensor data also provides the foundation for continuous condition monitoring and predictive maintenance – helping operators detect changes earlier, plan interventions more effectively and make better use of their assets.

ASC’s dedicated RAIL series of analog, digital and smart inertial sensors certified to national and international standards including EN 50155, EN 50121-3-2 and EN 45545 combines high measurement precision with the robustness required for demanding railway environments. It enables solutions tailored to individual measurement challenges – from testing and certification to permanent monitoring in regular operation.

German engineering – paired with on-the-ground expertise

Visitors to InnoRail can discuss their specific challenges directly with Renate Bay, CEO of ASC Sensors, and Prashanth Joshi of PTek, ASC’s authorized reseller and partner in India.

Their close partnership gives Indian customers direct local access to ASC technology and combines the German specialist’s sensor engineering with Joshi’s extensive experience and network in the Indian market.

“India is an important focus for ASC,” says Renate Bay. “We want to help rail and infrastructure operators use reliable precision data to advance the safety and productivity of their networks.”

However, that conversation does not have to start with a standard product: ASC combines sensor technology with customer insights and deep application expertise to identify the right solution for demanding measurement tasks – including customized configurations where required.

Beyond InnoRail: meet ASC Sensors in Delhi or Lucknow

Ahead of the InnoRail expo, ASC Sensors will partake in a German business delegation visit to Delhi and Lucknow from November 23-26. On the agenda: intense networking meetings with selected Indian railway industry representatives and a Technology Symposium in Delhi on November 24, focused on rail and infrastructure technology.
