Purpose-Built Products for Rail

Track managers and maintenance planners need to access track inspection reports at any time, whether they are in the office or the field. Simply put, you want quick and easy access to decision-making data and a full view of your network and potential issues wherever you are.

RailWorks Insight is scalable and customizable to the customers’ needs. From a single site to hundreds of properties, RailWorks Insight allows managers to see all their maintenance and inspection information in one place, which allows for concise decision-making about track maintenance planning.

ZoneGuard, an electronic roadway worker protection system, was engineered to meet the need for improved track worker safety for the rail industry. It works as a secondary warning system to help prevent common human error factors that contribute to close calls and tragic accidents for transit and freight workers.

ZoneGuard’s flexibility allows it to perform in multiple scenarios including across multiple tracks, over bridges, under high power lines, within high-noise environments and through long curves and tunnels. This gives maintenance crews the ability to provide safer work zones wherever they need to operate.
