Core Technology

Our smart rail track monitoring platform features watt-level energy harvesting, ultra-low-power management, long-range mobile communication (no need for specific gateways), integrated multi-sensor capability, and a SaaS cloud platform for continuous monitoring.

  • Watt-level energy harvesting: designed for autonomous power supply in live infrastructure settings.
  • Ultra-low-power management: efficient power usage across sensing, processing, and comms.
  • Long-range mobile communications: scalable deployment without bespoke trackside gateways.
  • Integrated multi-sensor measurement: supports multiple sensing modalities in one node.
  • SaaS cloud platform: data storage, analytics, alerts, and subscriptions for fleet monitoring.
  • Device intelligence: self-locating and self-diagnosis to support large-scale asset management.
