About Us

MoniRail started as a spin-out company from the Birmingham Centre for Rail Research & Education (BCRRE) at the University of Birmingham. Formed in 2019, its initial focus is on commercialising an in-service train data analytics platform coupled with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that enables continuous monitoring of track and train. MoniRail’s link with the academia is maintained, providing a rich basis for innovation in our monitoring systems.

MoniRail’s IMU can be used to collect data to monitor track geometry, ride comfort, and train condition and performance. The data analytics software platform converts data from the IMU into actionable condition information that predicts failures and allows for preventive maintenance by having a better understanding of the evolving condition of the assets.
