The Smart Scan Next Generation Defect Detector builds on the proven concepts of the Sentry System developed by Southern Technologies Corporation in 1986. The Smart Scan NG offers expanded data processing capability, non-volatile memory, non-volatile time and date, reduced board count, simplified packaging, improved diagnostic capabilities and economical AEI integration. Smart Scan NG offers a complete out of the box solution for wayside defect detection. The system is readily expand-able from its basic hot box detector configuration.
