About us
Built to challenge. Ready to act.
Rail can work better than it does. We have spent 15 years proving it — replacing reactive maintenance and data locked in silos with something the whole industry can act on.
The Railnova team
We are rail engineers and software builders. 3500+ vehicles connected, 190 rail organisations working on our platform, and hardware we designed ourselves running in more than 10 countries.

Purpose & vision
Our vision
To keep changing what rail accepts as normal. And not only rail.
Our purpose
To make maintenance predictable. Rail data is fragmented across manufacturers, operators, workshops and lessors. We connect the chain from hardware to platform, with 1,400+ rules turning raw signals into actionable decisions. What works for rail vehicles works for anything that moves and needs maintenance.

Core values
Our Core Values
Challenge
We ask why before accepting how something has always been done. Optimising the old is not the job; building what replaces it is.

Openness
Open systems, open doors. Every vehicle, system and manufacturer — no lock-in, your data stays yours. And the same is true of us: Always an open door and a straight answer.

Proof
We only claim what we have already delivered. Our technology runs reliably in the real world, every day, at scale.
Action
Data without action is noise. We measure ourselves on decisions taken, not dashboards delivered.
Who we are
A team that has spent over 15 years building, not just talking.
Engineers, data scientists, and railway experts based in Brussels, building technology shaped by the realities of railway operations and maintenance, from workshop floors to fleet management.
