Perpetuum has projects around the world in Europe, Asia-Pacific and North America.

“The Perpetuum product has been deployed on a trial basis on some of our trains over the past year and we have been very impressed by the information it provides us and the ease of use. We foresee a very rapid return on the investment and a solution to unlocking a number of important issues. The system has the potential to redefine the way we undertake some significant and costly elements of fleet maintenance.” Wayne Jenner, Southeastern Engineering Director

“Perpetuum is a British business that, as part of the EU's FP7 research programme, has developed self-powered wireless sensors that monitor how the ball-bearings in train wheels wear out. A humble enough idea; but one with potentially a massively significant and global potential.” European Commissioner - Neelie KROES
