Mobix Labs, a leading provider of advanced connectivity and sensing solutions, announced that its Mobix Labs Wireless Division, RaGE Systems, is collaborating with a national railroad carrier to develop next-generation safety technologies for the rail industry.
The initiative focuses on deploying AI-powered multi-sensor systems capable of imaging and classifying the physical condition of wooden rail ties. In the current phase, Mobix Labs Wireless is designing a sensor array that can be mounted onto slow-moving track vehicles to capture detailed data on ties and rail beds. The collected information will be analyzed using the company’s proprietary reconstruction algorithms, sensor fusion techniques, and AI models to determine the health classification of each rail tie under a wide range of conditions.
This phase of the program, expected to continue into early 2026, will identify the most effective sensor configuration and AI approach to be scaled for broader deployment. The ultimate goal is to deliver a self-contained, train-mounted solution that can perform these assessments economically and at full operational speed.

According to the Railway Tie Association, the U.S. rail network spans 140,000 miles of track supported by more than 450 million rail ties, with approximately 16 million ties replaced annually. By enabling continuous monitoring and classification of ties, Mobix Labs’ technology aims to reduce maintenance costs, extend tie lifecycles, and enhance rail safety for carriers across the country.
“This collaboration marks an important step in applying advanced sensing and AI to critical infrastructure,” said Russell Cyr, Vice President and General Manager, Mobix Labs. “We see significant potential to modernize rail maintenance practices, improve safety, and ultimately deliver a scalable solution for railroads worldwide.”
