Railster Mini & Studio — from onboard data to actionable insight
Railster Mini is an IoT gateway that captures, processes and transmits rolling stock data.
Railster Studio is its companion tool for configuring, developing and deploying use cases across the Railnova hardware-to-software stack.
Railster Mini
Child's play to integrate into any rail system
CAN, Ethernet and Analog input based IoT gateway for the capture, processing and transmission of data from rolling stock subsystems and components.
Deployable SaaS or on-premise, compliant with IEC 62443 and the upcoming CRA. Compact, waterproof, direct sensor connection.

HVAC
Door Control Units
Brake Control Units
Transmission Controllers
Engine Control Units
PowerPacks
Air Supply Units
Beyond rail
Also suitable for passenger bus data acquisition thanks to its CAN interface, as well as for other industrial applications requiring CAN connectivity.
Passenger buses
CAN interface makes bus fleet data acquisition straightforward.
Energy monitoring
Capture and process consumption data from CAN-connected equipment.
Infrastructure assets
Monitor fixed assets and other industrial applications needing CAN connectivity.
Features & benefits
What you get
Connectivity & Hardware
Built-in GSM (embedded antenna) removes the need for a costly external router or modem
Direct analog sensor connection and field bus (CAN, Ethernet) support reduce wiring complexity and integration cost
Small, watertight enclosure fits everywhere
Edge Processing with Lua
Built-in signal processing library speeds up algorithm development
Processes GB of data locally, transmits only KB — cutting cloud and SIM costs by up to 100,000:1
Railster Studio simplifies testing and iteration, handling hundreds of signals in real time
Ready-to-Deploy IoT Stack
Simplifies device provisioning, management and integration
99.95% availability when managed by Railnova, with CRA-compliant OS updates
Deploy as a cloud service or on-premise for CAPEX/OPEX flexibility
Flexible SIM Options
Pre-paid, contract, or bring-your-own SIM
Balance CAPEX, OPEX and cybersecurity needs on your terms
Railster Studio
The cockpit on your Railster fleet.
Built for component and subsystem OEMs, integrators and fleet operators managing IoT device deployments — from initial use-case design to fleet-wide rollout and ongoing tuning. Railster Studio is where subsystem data becomes actionable logic: configure signal processing rules, simulate them against real or historical data, and push updates to hundreds of units without a single truck roll.

Configure
Software-Defined Hardware
Define and adjust signal processing logic from your office, no onboard access required
Reusable configuration templates let you standardize a use case once and apply it across product lines or customer fleets
Change thresholds, mappings and rules without a hardware revision — protecting product margins and cutting time-to-market
Develop
Built-In Lua Rule Editor & Simulator
Visual, low-code-friendly Lua editor lowers the barrier to writing and testing Complex Event Processing rules — no dedicated firmware team needed
Simulate rules against raw or historical signal data before deploying, catching issues before they ship with a customer's fleet
Real-time visibility into hundreds of signals simultaneously, so iteration cycles are measured in minutes, not days
Deploy
Fleet-Wide, Over-the-Air
Push configuration, rule and software updates to individual units or entire fleets remotely — including units already deployed at end-customer sites
Version control and rollback keep deployments auditable and reversible
OTA update mechanism is CRA-compliant, keeping security posture current without a truck roll or product recall
