Incremental are Shortlisted for Two Railway Industry Association Awards

We’re incredibly proud to have been shortlisted for the Rail Industry Association’s RISE awards in the ‘Growth in Rail, SME’ and ‘Unlocking Innovation’ categories – the latter for our OLErt product.

The RISE awards are to ‘celebrate Railway Industry Supplier Excellence’ – so we know we are against some tough and extremely worthy competition.

The inaugural event covers categories such as Rail Exporter, Safety & Wellbeing, Diversity & Inclusion, Environmental Sustainability, Future Leader and the aforementioned Growth in Rail and Unlocking Innovation categories.

The winners will be announced at the RIA Annual Conference 2019, in London.

Incremental Shortlisted for Rail Innovation Award

On Friday 28th June we will find out if our OLErt system wins another award – this time at the Railway Innovation Awards, held in London. As with the recent Rail Partnership Awards, OLErt’s entry to the awards has been submitted with partner companies GWR, Network Rail, Icomera and Oxford University.

The awards were founded in 1998 and are the longest-running awards scheme in the industry with the aim to celebrate the achievements of those companies and individuals who are pushing the industry forward by developing innovative ideas.

Founder and Commercial Director Daniel Lee-Bursnall, and Head of Business Delivery, Kate Naylor, will be attending the event where OLErt has been shortlisted in the “Cross-industry Partnership” category.

OLErt a winner at the Rail Partnership Awards

Our OLErt image recognition technology was a winner at the recent Rail Partnership Awards, held in Birmingham.

The OLErt (Overhead Line Equipment in real-time) system integrates visual measurement algorithms (from Oxford University academics) with Incremental’s award winning analytics platforms and precise positional certainty data, to leverage imagery from existing roof-mounted camera equipment. The gathered data is then analysed to highlight abnormal infrastructure events before being transmitted in real-time through (partner company) Icomera’s connectivity platform to provide failure and emerging alerts to operational maintenance teams for immediate remedial action.

No other available technology can provide dynamic monitoring in this way or will have such a transformative reduction in the incidence of overhead-line dewirements or pantograph train damage.

The Rail Partnership Awards bring together the supply chain to celebrate the very best of achievements in the rail industry. There are 14 award categories of which entrants are judged by a panel of 20 experts from across the industry.
