TrackEi™
TrackEi™ combines high-speed machine vision, multi-sensor intelligence, and AI-powered analytics to detect surface defects and track geometry deviations in real time. It helps rail operators identify potential issues earlier, enabling safer, more reliable rail networks and more proactive maintenance.
TrackEi™: AI driven Railway Track Inspection System
The Challenge
Manual inspection cannot keep pace with modern rail operations.
Rail networks depend on frequent, accurate track inspections to protect passengers, cargo and infrastructure. Yet many inspection programs still rely on visual checks, fragmented tools, and delayed reporting - making it harder to detect defects early and plan maintenance before issues escalate.
The result: maintenance teams spend more time finding and documenting problems than preventing failures and planning proactive maintenance.
Four problems compound at scale:
Manual Dependency
Inspection outcomes can vary based on operator expertise, weather, lighting and operating conditions
Hidden Surface Defects
Crushed heads, chip-offs, rail-end batter, cracks, and defective joints can be difficult to detect consistently
Precision Measurement
Gauge, cant, rail profile, missing clips, and fastener gaps require precise, repeatable measurement
Delayed Actionability
Manual or fragmented reporting slows maintenance prioritization, delays response, and limits traceability
