Your network, not a reference network.
One installation over a defined period, on your own track and your own vehicles. The data describes your conditions — not a demonstration line under ideal weather.
A proof of concept is a short, bounded engagement with one job: to show on your own network what continuous monitoring finds — and what finding it is worth.
The path to live monitoring
The same sequence every time. Each phase has a date, an owner and one thing you hold in your hands at the end of it.
01Weeks 1–3
We define the need together: which routes, which vehicles, which faults actually cost you money. Nothing wider than that.
You getA bounded pilot with a written objective.
02Week 4 · one working day
Sensor units, measurement device and gateway go onto one vehicle. Nothing is drilled or welded — the vehicle is not modified, and the fitting does not depend on the locomotive type.
You getA vehicle that measures on its normal duty.
03From week 4
From the first day of data collection you are in the portal: track geometry, alarms, trends — the same views your team would work in every day.
You getVisibility now, not a report in six months.
04Weeks 22–26
We work out the setup for daily operation: how many vehicles, which routes, and which alarms go straight into your maintenance system.
You getA costed plan for network-wide rollout.
Why a proof of concept
One installation over a defined period, on your own track and your own vehicles. The data describes your conditions — not a demonstration line under ideal weather.
You work in the same dashboard your team would use in daily operation. Nothing is held back for a closing presentation.
The POC closes with a concrete report: what was found, what maintenance value that represents, and what a network-wide rollout would return.
In revenue service since 2017.

We come back with a focused POC proposal: your network, your priorities, the next practical step.
M4 Strategy
M4 is Autech's approach to rail maintenance, and D-RAIL is the monitoring in it — continuously, from vehicles already in service. The other three steps come from the same house: Autech's measurement systems, its track management, and the grinding machines that do the work on site. Between the reading and the repair, nothing is handed to a third party.
Next step
Tell us the route and the vehicle type. We will tell you what a proof of concept on it would look like.
