Class-leading unattended LiDAR, Video and Positioning systems

Devices built for rail, allowing operators to work with actionable data not run complex data capture systems.

Cordel's hardware and data processing systems transform railway asset inspections. Our unattended COTS-based (Commercial-off-the-Shelf) devices reduce monitoring costs, enabling more frequent data collection, increased data capture frequency allowing for repeatable insights and precise change detection.

Different from traditional methods, Cordel delivers results in hours or days, not months. Our BYOD platform maximises existing investments while "always open data" ensures compatibility with external systems, enhancing overall data utility.

Data Capture Devices

Turning any vehicle into a measurement train, secure with with one source of location truth.

Unattended operation from any train

Unattended operation across entire networks. Start and stop record on movement, upload when available and manage coverage.

Self-calibrating and remote diagnostics

Flexible telematic and data upload infrastructure enables systems to be managed remotely and sensors to calibrate automatically.

Low-maintenance, built for rail

All Cordel hardware is built and tested exclusively for the harshest rail environments in the world.

Inspection data, frequently, at scale

Big data insights with minimal input. Experience a step change in data availability and make quicker, better decisions.

Wave-Rugged LiDAR

Cordel's most recent innovation combines precision LiDAR, inertial navigation systems and 4k video (FFV) into one compact, rugged unit. The system delivers precision point clouds and video, automatically from any train.

Wave-OEM LiDAR

Encompassing the same components as the Wave-Rugged, the Wave-OEM hardware offers a highly configurable and customisable system, suitable for bespoke installations on any train.

Cordel Locate+

The Locate+ is a compact, built-for-rail, survey-grade positioning system. With engineering-grade LRS alignment, you can benefit from one source of location truth for all sensing systems.

Forward Facing Video

Robust and modular, the 4K Forward Facing Video (FFV) produces continuously updated, precisely located video of your network. The rich context solution takes remote monitoring of rail to the next level.
