San Francisco, CA – June 26, 2025
ENSCO Rail, an industry leader in railway condition monitoring and testing, will showcase its latest advancements in data-driven, cost-effective maintenance strategies and transit testing at the APTA Rail Conference, June 29–July 2 in San Francisco. Attendees can visit ENSCO at booth #412 to connect with team members and explore the company’s State of Good Repair (SOGR)-aligned innovations and testing capabilities.
ENSCO will highlight a range of solutions aligned with transit agency priorities: advanced predictive analytics for track condition monitoring that support SOGR-objectives, automated railcar inspection systems that enhance safety and optimize repair planning, and secure full-scale vehicle and infrastructure testing at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC).
ENSCO is advancing the future of safe, efficient passenger rail through proven technologies that detect defects earlier, reduce lifecycle maintenance costs, and help agencies meet safety and performance goals with confidence.
ENSCO’s track and railcar inspection monitoring systems combine advanced machine vision and sensor fusion to deliver real-time, high-resolution assessments of track and rolling stock as trains move through the network. These systems reduce reliance on time-constrained manual inspections, particularly those conducted late at night or between train movements, which can pose operational and safety challenges.
By automating visual inspection tasks and integrating findings into digital condition records, ENSCO’s solutions support more strategic maintenance scheduling, reduce variability, and help agencies meet growing safety expectations while improving workforce efficiency. These approaches serve as a foundational layer in shifting toward a proactive, risk-based inspection strategy.
At TTC, ENSCO offers transit agencies a unique combination of capabilities not available anywhere else in North America. TTC enables efficient, standards-based on-track testing for locomotive and passenger cars, streamlining type testing for engineering and procurement teams.
TTC is the only U.S. facility purpose-built to support first article and major program testing of next-generation electrified rail vehicles—including battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and hybrid propulsion systems. Its integrated infrastructure enables validation of both vehicles and supporting systems under real-world conditions, helping agencies adapt to evolving propulsion technologies and long-term operational strategies.
ENSCO’s offerings are underpinned by its Digital Twin Insight platform, which includes proprietary Automated Maintenance Advisor (AMA) and VAMPIRE® Solutions. These tools enable transit agencies to quantify ROI, prioritize capital investment, and demonstrate cost avoidance over time by leveraging continuous condition monitoring, asset performance metrics, and predictive modeling—key factors in competitive grant applications and performance audits.
