Automate Train Inspection. Detect Open Wagon Doors.
Eliminate derailment hazards and manual inspection delays. Spot unlatched or swinging doors on moving cargo wagons using local camera feeds and edge computer vision with sub-second processing latencies.
The High Cost of Open Cargo Doors
Relying on manual yard inspections to catch swinging wagon doors causes severe logjams and creates massive physical risk for railway infrastructure.
Critical Derailment Risk
Open or unlatched steel doors on moving freight wagons strike signals, platforms, and passing trains, leading to catastrophic derailment hazards.
Slow Manual Inspections
Stopping cargo trains for manual physical checks at every yard checkpoint introduces costly delays, ruining scheduling efficiency.
Harsh Yard Conditions
Standard physical sensors and lasers break down or fail due to high vibration, heavy snow, rain, mud, and continuous yard dust.
How Wagon Scan Works
Our edge computer vision pipeline detects physical door features on high-speed camera frames as trains roll past yard checkpoints.
High-Speed Capture
Industrial outdoor cameras capture side-view video streams of the cargo train moving past at speeds up to 40 km/h under low-light or glare.
Local Frame Inference
An edge processor runs a specialized YOLO detection model to classify wagon bodies, locating and verifying latch handles and door state boundaries.
Immediate Yard Alert
If an open door is detected, the system immediately highlights the frame, triggers a warning at the depot gate, and logs the specific wagon ID payload.

We adapt edge computer vision platforms directly into existing high-speed transit and yard infrastructure to automate visual inspections.
Depot Gate Control
Position scanning nodes at yard entrances to log cargo car details and flag latch defects before trains enter main networks.
Collision Prevention
Scan trains immediately before high-risk structures (e.g. narrow tunnels, bridges, or depots) to prevent side-swiping collisions.
Asset Compliance
Log cargo door status logs automatically to generate digital audit histories, avoiding regulatory compliance fines.
Security Auditing
Identify open doors that indicate cargo tampering or theft at transit hubs, triggering instant alerts for security personnel.
Industrial Vision Capabilities
High-Speed Inference (< 100ms)
The model is optimized to analyze frames in less than 100 milliseconds, supporting accurate door checks for trains moving at speeds up to 40 km/h.
No Contact Maintenance
Optical monitoring bypasses physical sensors. It eliminates physical wear, track sensor failures, and mechanical parts maintenance entirely.
Environmental Filtering
Integrated pre-processing pipelines filter out lens glare, raindrops, high dust volumes, and light shadows, maintaining 98%+ detection consistency.

}Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about our automated railway wagon door detection capabilities.
The detection model works accurately at train speeds up to 40 km/h, matching standard speed limits when entering depots, loading bays, or marshalling yards.
No. The system uses high-contrast outdoor industrial cameras equipped with infrared illuminators, ensuring consistent scans during night shifts, overcast storms, or direct glare.
Yes. The edge vision pipeline can be integrated with side-facing OCR modules to read and log the wagon alphanumeric code alongside the door status flag.
When an open door is flagged, the edge computer triggers immediate local warning lights at the gate house and sends standard JSON payloads to your centralized yard operating ERP.
The system runs on weather-proofed on-site edge compute boxes equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin module, requiring no cloud servers or remote bandwidth.
