Track Inspection
Continuous inspection while trains operate.
Transform everyday locomotive movements into ongoing track inspections with AI vision, GPS-tagged defect reporting, and centralized maintenance visibility.

What It Does
Continuously inspect rail tracks using locomotive-mounted AI vision systems during normal operations. The system transforms everyday rail movements into ongoing track inspections, helping identify potential defects earlier, improving inspection coverage, and reducing reliance on periodic manual inspections.
Key Benefits
- Continuous inspection at normal operating speeds
- Faster detection of potential track issues
- Reduce time spent on full manual track walks
- GPS-tagged defects for targeted maintenance dispatch
- Real-time monitoring and centralized reporting
- Support proactive maintenance planning and reduce unplanned downtime
Detectable Issues
AI vision systems can help identify:
- Track gauge irregularities
- Damaged or worn ties
- Obstructions and debris
- Track wear and alignment concerns
How it works
Cameras mounted to locomotives continuously capture track conditions during normal rail operations. AI vision software analyzes track imagery in real-time and flags potential defects through a centralized dashboard with GPS-based location data, helping maintenance teams respond faster and prioritize repairs more efficiently.
Designed to Complement Existing Inspection Programs
Canopy Vision systems can be deployed alongside existing human and third-party inspection processes, allowing operations teams to validate performance and expand system usage over time while reducing recurring inspection costs and improving inspection frequency across the network.
