RailPower is a compact, trackside rail diagnostics device designed to help rail networks see problems earlier, act faster, and keep services running safely. Installed alongside the rail, it captures high-value condition data as trains pass. This turns everyday operations into continuous insight. Instead of relying only on periodic inspections or reacting after faults occur, RailPower supports a more proactive approach detecting emerging issues, highlighting risk hotspots, and helping maintenance teams prioritise the right work at the right time.
The company behind RailPower was founded by a small team of innovators driven by a practical mission: make rail infrastructure safer, more reliable, and more affordable to maintain. Their work sits at the intersection of engineering, data, and real-world operations building technology that fits the constraints of the railway environment, delivers clear outputs, and supports decision-making without adding complexity for frontline teams.
What we’re delivering is a diagnostics capability that strengthens the whole rail system:
Better safety through earlier identification of defects and degradation.
Higher reliability by reducing unexpected failures and unplanned downtime.
Smarter maintenance by shifting from reactive fixes to predictive, planned interventions.
Lower costs and disruption by targeting interventions where they matter most and avoiding avoidable service interruptions.
The benefit ultimately reaches beyond the railway. Passengers get fewer delays and a safer, smoother journey. Communities experience less disruption from emergency works. Operators and maintainers gain clearer visibility and confidence in where to focus resources. And the wider economy benefits from a rail network that performs more consistently, supporting mobility, productivity, and greener transport choices.
