Vision
Global leader at scale
To become a world-leading global supplier of self-powered remote monitoring to rail and industry, enabling large-scale rollout of rail track and industrial monitoring.
About Us
Building self-powered monitoring for a net-zero, digitally connected future
Encortec is a UK-based deep-tech company and University of Exeter spin-out, turning years of energy harvesting research into field-proven industrial IoT systems.
Company Overview
We deliver a fit-and-forget, industrial IoT monitoring platform powered by energy harvesting for rail and critical infrastructure.
Value & Economic Impact
Encortec’s industrial IoT platform delivers measurable cost savings and operational efficiency improvements across large-scale infrastructure deployments.
Customer Value
- Significant reductions in ongoing operating and maintenance costs.
- Meaningful decreases in manual inspection and track access requirements.
- Improved asset reliability, availability, and network punctuality.
- Fewer unplanned interventions through early fault detection.
- Extended asset life with condition-based and predictive maintenance.
Fast Payback
- Low upfront deployment cost per kilometre of infrastructure.
- Short payback period driven by recurring operational savings.
- Benefits scale with network length and deployment density.
How value is delivered
- 24/7 remote, continuous monitoring.
- Reduced need for manual track inspections.
- Earlier fault detection and targeted interventions.
- Lower safety exposure for trackside staff.
Fit-and-forget at scale
By eliminating batteries, cabling, and frequent site visits, Encortec reduces direct maintenance costs and the indirect safety and operational risks that come with repeated track access.
Sustainability
More safety. More availability. More reliability. More cost-efficiency—aligned with Net Zero objectives.
Reducing lifecycle emissions
By eliminating routine battery replacement, site visits, and track access, Encortec’s systems significantly reduce maintenance costs, operational risk, and lifecycle carbon emissions.
Our end-to-end platform integrates robust hardware, embedded intelligence, and cloud-based analytics. The technology has been developed with leading UK academic and industry partners, is protected by multiple patents, and has been validated through pilot deployments on live railway infrastructure.
Long-term value for operators
Encortec creates measurable long-term value for infrastructure owners and operators by combining low-cost deployment, minimal ongoing maintenance, and continuous asset intelligence.
The result is a highly cost-efficient monitoring platform that scales across large rail networks while improving safety, availability, and asset performance.
