Mobix Labs (MOBX) is bringing artificial intelligence to the tracks. The company announced a partnership between its wireless division, RaGE Systems, and a national railroad carrier to develop next-generation safety technologies designed to improve monitoring and reduce maintenance costs across the U.S. rail network.
The collaboration centers on AI-powered multi-sensor systems capable of imaging and classifying the condition of wooden rail ties. Currently, Mobix is designing a sensor array that can be mounted on slow-moving track vehicles to capture detailed tie and rail bed data. That information will be processed using Mobix’s proprietary algorithms and AI models to determine tie health under varied conditions.
This phase, running into early 2026, aims to identify the most effective sensor and AI configurations for eventual full-scale deployment. The end goal is a train-mounted, self-contained solution that can conduct assessments economically at operational speeds.
The opportunity is substantial. The U.S. rail network spans 140,000 miles and rests on more than 450 million rail ties, with 16 million replaced annually, according to the Railway Tie Association. Mobix’s system could help carriers extend tie lifecycles, lower costs, and enhance safety across a critical segment of national infrastructure.
Mobix, based in Irvine, California, develops advanced connectivity, sensing, and EMI solutions for industries ranging from aerospace and defense to 5G, healthcare, and AI datacenters.
