Revolutionising how
better decisions
are made.
Unparalleled historical insights, real-time monitoring and the ability to predict the future: A holistic network view that will change your way of making decisions.
The world is full of vibrations. Using the latest AI and Machine Learning approaches, we constantly improve our unique capabilities to interpret and understand them – deriving highly valuable, actionable information that will take your operations to the next level.
Every vibration has
a story to tell …
… and the world is full of vibrations.
We translate these stories
into valuable information …
… that will revolutionise how better
decisions are made.
The Sensonic Edge Device turns fiber optic cables into a distributed acoustic sensor.
Vibrations occuring along
your network will
radiate against the
fiber …
… and are now detected in real
time by the Sensonic Edge Device.
The Sensonic Solution then derives a digital twin of all these vibrations.
How do we do it?
Intelligent algorithms, developed and trained with latest
Machine Learning form the core of our
solution.
From Problem to Solution
A data driven journey that will lead to better decisions
Transforming large amounts of data into actionable information in real time requires smart and powerful solutions. At Sensonic, we develop algorithms dedicatedly for this purpose. We train them with latest Machine Learning approaches and Artificial Intelligence findings. We have set up an AI pipeline that tests, compares and evaluates models with different features, settings and methods fully automatically. Optimised models can then be rolled out and evaluated on the systems in the field again.
This requires close cooperation with our customers and partners. Why? Because reference systems and ground truth are crucial to carry out this evaluation. With each roundtrip and with each additional installation, the algorithms become better and better and can also be optimised with regard to the respective installation and its processes.

Problem Definition
What the Sensonic Solution can do for you.The Sensonic Solution has proven its power in global installations throughout various fields of applications. Whether you want to get a real-time overview on train traffic all along your network or monitor your infrastructure live 24/7 and get notifications for any events and activities taking place next to the fiber optic cable:
Let’s find out what your use cases would be and how to combine them. -
Data Gathering
From 0 to terabytes of data in no time.The system is set up simply and quickly. According to the requirements of your use cases, the Sensonic Solution will instantly collect raw data. In parallel, ground truth data will be implemented to the system. Data preparation and segregation can start and we start labelling the data to get ready for translation into actionable information.
-
Analytics Applied
Starting over and turn right into action.To derive actionable information by analysing data, the Sensonic Solution utilises intelligent algorithms. These are developed by a combination of signal processing, machine and deep learning. As we apply latest approaches and combine our experience with up-to-date know how from partners who are experts in these fields, this can be initiated with just a small amount of data already. That said, the system starts providing you with desired information right away.
Over time, the scope of information and the quality can even increase by an applied model training pipeline. That means that new applications can be developed together whilst proven algorithms will learn and improve with each installation worldwide. -

Visualised information or actionable data
– your choice.The wide range of information the Sensonic solution provides you with can be accessed in various ways. You can either use the Sensonic Dashboard to receive all information in optimised visualisations, live views and summaries. Alarms and notifications can pop up and/or be sent via e-mail as well as SMS. Additionally, the information can be implemented into existing software infrastructures via API. Your solution - your choice.

User Feedback
Together we grow ever stronger.With the Sensonic Solution in place you’re perfectly equipped to optimize your operations based on better decisions – but this is only the start of our common journey. By your feedback, the solution will grow ever stronger as we use your inputs for continuous development of our intelligent algorithms. Adaptions to real-life requirements will increase the system’s potential exactly along your needs. Let’s make it happen together.
Enabling
better
decisions
- Holistic, 24/7 real-time-view of all activities along your network
- Generate forecasts by combining live data from the digital twin with historic data
- Detect any rail vehicle without specific onboard requirements
- Minimal investment and follow-up costs compared to pure onboard solutions
- Simple and quick rollout: just power, internet and fiber optic cables are needed
Available Solution
Track Condition Monitoring
Sensonic's Track Condition Monitoring Solution aids the track maintainers in targeted maintenance of track which helps with
- Optimising and prioritising track maintenance
- Checking the efficacy of maintenance interventions
- Improving overall track health resulting in higher operational safety.
To achieve this, the Sensonic solution provides you with holistic information on the condition of track through periodic reports. These contain a track vibration heatmap that highlights degraded locations on track.
The Sensonic Solution continuously monitors the complete track on a 24x7 basis. It transforms every operational train into a measurement train. The vibrational response, or the digital twin, of the monitored tracks is a reliable indicator of track condition.
Available Solution
Detection of Cable Theft
Theft of copper cables is a major problem for rail operators and is often associated with fiber damages due to careless digging efforts. The Sensonic Solution provides real-time warnings that enable service teams to reduce the risk of these events happening. However, in case of any successful theft attempt, the solution provides the accurate location of the damage.
Protection of Cable Theft supports with
- active supervision to digging to prevent damage and
- reactive localisation in case of damage
Available Solution
Train Traffic Optimisation
Analysing train traffic has a huge potential for more efficient train operation. Measures based on continuous train positions achieve an increase of throughput by 10% and more.
The Sensonic Solution provides tailored information for planners to identify velocity patterns having negative effects on the capacity based on continuous train tracking. It enables dispatchers to optimise train schedules and helps to identify uprising problems as soon as they appear. Algorithms support the customer-based prediction systems with more accurate models.
