Smart infrastructure monitoring through automation and machine learning
Our Solutions
Cordel has been built to capture imagery and Lidar data from in-service trains using modern cost effective and miniaturised sensors, automate large volumes of data processing using world class Machine Learning and deliver intelligent and actionable inspection results. Cordel enables railway operators to automate inspections and surveys of assets automatically across entire networks in near real-time.

Cordel Advantage
We understand the ongoing challenges of the world's railroads. In the face of increasing freight haulage and passenger numbers, effective and cost-efficient asset inspections are now more critical than ever. Cordel offers railroads a new and improved method for inspecting and managing assets.
Improved rail-worker and customer safety
By using in-service trains mounted with remote sensing hardware, allows for the reduction of walking or hi-rail inspections.
Reduce cost of asset inspections
Using powerful machine learning technology to automate inspections, asset mapping and surveys of the network and assets.
Enhanced data-driven decision making
Through more thorough and frequent inspections every asset and sections of track has more available data to make stronger decisions.
Increase available train paths
By reducing the need for additional inspection services and track possessions allows networks to run more revenue services.
Using AI to reduce Red Zone Working
New Technologies | Australia | Track Patrol Replacement
To assess the technical capability of the Cordel system to assist with reducing the number of manual track patrols both on foot and mechanised.
Automating network-wide infringements & clearance surveys
AK Car Lidar | Australia | Geometry car
Infringement surveys for any network are costly and generally require access by workers to the rail corridor to perform measurements and define the level of infringement. ARTC sought to deploy a safer and more technology-driven inspection solution across its national railroad network.
ARTC Pilot – Automating Track Patrol
New Technologies | Australia | Track Patrol Replacement
ARTC carry out regular fortnightly corridor track patrols across its 8,500+km network. The process is costly, dangerous and prone to human errors. Cordel have collaborated with ARTC to provide an alternative program which can work across the entire Australian network.
"Results from trials have been encouraging and we are continuing to embed this new capability as the preferred method of inspections for transit space monitoring across the entire ARTC Interstate Network."
