Mobix Labs, a provider of advanced connectivity and sensing solutions, announced that its Mobix Labs Wireless division, RaGE Systems, has been awarded a new contract to develop drone-based, AI-powered inspection technology for the U.S. rail industry. This program marks Mobix Labs’ entry into a massive new market, applying its technology to improve rail safety and modernize critical infrastructure.
Mobix Labs Applies Drone and AI Technology to solve a Nationwide Problem
Across the United States there are more than 100,000 railroad bridges, including about 30,000 wooden trestles built more than 100 years ago. Current inspection methods are slow, costly, and dangerous for workers.
Mobix Labs plans to change that. Its new program uses drones equipped with AI to scan bridges quickly and safely, spotting hidden weaknesses and providing results in real time. What once took days and put workers at risk can now be done faster, safer, and more effectively with cutting-edge technology.
