Rail
Keep your rail-related projects on track with the OWL Platform.
Keeping your people safe on the railway
In the dynamic and complex environment of railway operations, safety is paramount. With the constant movement of trains and the regular need for line blockages and possessions to enable operation, maintenance and Capital Delivery works, keeping people safe from harm needs constant focus.
At Onwave our Leadership team have many years’ experience in the Rail Sector and this has driven our core mission to prevent people from being harmed whist working on track.
Our OWL technology uses high accuracy geo-location technology to provide proactive alerting and behavioural Safety insights to prevent incidents caused by:
- Loss of Situational Awareness
- People-Plant Interface
- Objects on the Line
- Possession Management Errors
- Runaway Plant
- Lifting Operations
- Proximity to electrical equipment and other hazards
Key Features and Benefits
- Precision: Consistent accuracy derived from miniature survey technology (100-500mm) our survey grade technology offers unparalleled precision in demarcating Safe zones.
- Real-time Alerting: Reporting per second, providing immediate notifications via our wearables, smartphone App or direct to a Control Room ensures swift action.
- Customizable Zones: Create and modify geo-fences dynamically for planned maintenance, temporary worksites, or long-term infrastructure upgrades.
- No additional infrastructure required: Once your zones are created, simply turn on your devices and go to work.
- Integration with Existing Systems: OWL can be integrated with other Rail systems e.g. with control systems, trackside equipment and other digital platforms to provide holistic safety management. Our in-house development team can carry out integrations quickly and efficiently.
- Powerful Data Insights: Incursions and near miss information is visualised to help identify high risk locations and operations to enhance future Safety protocols.
Compliance and Standards
Our technology is product approved by Network Rail in the UK and we have been working with Network Rail’s Safety Task Force since 2020 to ensure it delivers maximum benefit for everyone working on the railway.
As well as working in the UK, OWL can be used worldwide, wherever you are undertaking work on the railway.
