SureSight verifies rail inspections step by step. The technician in the pit or on the track wears camera-equipped eyewear, and computer vision confirms each item of your procedure as it's inspected. Anything it can't confirm is flagged.
It's built for depot maintenance, track inspection, and the handback at the end of engineering hours.
Depot inspections and track work happen between the last train and the first. Every train has to be checked and every possession handed back on time, so the pressure to finish is built into the schedule.
Underframe and bogie checks happen in pits, in low light and awkward positions. Track walks cover long distances, with the same items over and over. Those are the conditions where a step gets skipped without anyone noticing, sometimes including the inspector.
Inspection sheets are often completed or entered at the end of a shift. The record says the train was inspected. It can't say which items were looked at, or how closely.
Rail inspection requirements come from the safety regulator, the operator's own maintenance plan, and the equipment manufacturer. These are the ones most often cited.
Track must be visually inspected by a qualified person, at a frequency set by track class and traffic. On main track, that's typically weekly or twice weekly.
Locomotives need a daily inspection with a written report, plus periodic inspections.
Passenger equipment needs an exterior mechanical inspection each day it's in service, along with brake tests.
Each freight car must be inspected before departure at the point where it's placed in a train.
APTA's voluntary standards for inspecting and maintaining commuter and intercity railroad passenger cars.
LTA is the regulator for Singapore's rapid transit systems. It licenses the operators and audits and inspects how they run and maintain the system.
SureSight produces evidence that inspections and maintenance steps were done, which is what these programs ask you to show. It doesn't replace your inspection program, your qualified staff, or your regulator.
Each application is set up from your maintenance procedures and trained on your rolling stock and infrastructure.
Springs, dampers, axle boxes, wheelsets and underframe equipment, inspected from the pit.
Brake pads and discs, brake rigging, and couplers between cars.
Pantographs, current collectors and roof-mounted equipment, checked from the roof platform.
Rails, fastenings, ties (sleepers) and switches on walking inspections.
Work done during engineering hours, from the first step to the handback.
Your data, your rules. Where SureSight runs, what it keeps, and who can see it are set for each deployment. It can run entirely on a server inside your network, with no video kept after verification. Storage is optional and follows your retention policy. SureSight verifies the work, not the worker: identity isn't needed to verify an inspection. Security & Data →
Low light is one of the conditions tested during the on-site pilot. When lighting makes a step impossible to confirm, the step is flagged for follow-up, not passed.
The eyewear connects to a SureSight server. How that works in your depot and on your line, including places without coverage, is set up and tested during the pilot.
Each inspection produces a structured record. Connecting it to your existing system is part of the deployment scope.
Yes, that's one of the options. SureSight can run on a server inside your network, with no video kept after verification. See Security & Data.
No. SureSight verifies the work, not the worker. The computer vision model is designed to recognize rail equipment, not people, and personally identifiable information is not retained.
Yes. Both are inspections against a procedure. Most pilots start with one, usually a depot inspection, because the setting is controlled.
We'll set up SureSight on one inspection type, with your procedure and your technicians, and show you the record it produces.
