RC Droid 3.0
Railway corrugation measurement for Android
Android data acquisition application for GEKON Modular and GEKON Big Foot rail corrugation and rail profile measuring systems
Why Choose RC Droid 3.0?
Single or Double Measurement
Measure one rail or both rails simultaneously. RC Droid handles single and double GEKON configurations without changing the workflow.
Values You See Immediately
Corrugation values, rail profiles, kilometrage, measuring speed, evaluation results, GPS data and graphs are displayed on the device while you measure.
Evaluate in the Field
Review measured sections, display graphical outputs and verify compliance with defined limits before leaving the site.
Ready for the Office
All data is stored automatically in KZV format and processed afterwards in Gekon 11 evaluation software.

Railway Corrugation Measurement for Android
RC Droid 3.0 is KZV's professional Android-based data acquisition application designed for use with GEKON Modular and GEKON Big Foot rail corrugation and rail profile measuring systems. The application enables real-time measurement of rail surface irregularities and rail profiles while providing instant visualization of measured values directly on smartphones and tablets.
All collected data is stored for further evaluation in Gekon 11 software.
RC Droid 3.0 supports both single and double measuring configurations, so operators can measure one rail or both at once.
Real-Time Data Visualization
During measurement, all measured values are displayed instantly on the Android device. Operators can monitor:
- Current rail corrugation values
- Rail profile cross sections
- Kilometrage position
- Measuring speed
- Evaluation results
- GPS information
- Graphical outputs
The immediate feedback lets operators spot developing rail defects as they measure.
Comparison and Evaluation
RC Droid evaluates sections instantly in the field. Users can:
- Review measured sections
- Display graphical outputs
- Evaluate measurement results
- Verify compliance with defined limits
- Prepare data for detailed office analysis
The collected data is automatically stored in KZV format and can subsequently be processed using Gekon 11 evaluation software, which evaluates rail corrugation according to EN 13231-2/3.
Events and Documentation
RC Droid allows users to insert and document events during measurements. Features include:
- Point events
- Section events
- Custom event categories
- Automatic event numbering
- Event photographs
Each event is linked to its exact location within the measurement dataset, simplifying future analysis and maintenance planning.
Typical Applications
- Rail corrugation monitoring
- Preventive maintenance planning
- Rail grinding optimization
- Maintenance acceptance inspections
- Before/after grinding comparisons
Designed for Railway Professionals
RC Droid 3.0 has been specifically developed for infrastructure managers, maintenance contractors and railway engineers requiring accurate and repeatable rail corrugation measurements.
Combined with GEKON Modular or GEKON Big Foot measuring systems, RC Droid delivers a complete mobile solution for rail surface condition assessment and maintenance decision support.
