Railway Infrastructure & Operations
VANA enables railway authorities to perform aerial track inspection, bridge assessment, and corridor surveillance without disrupting operations. With long-endurance flight and EO/IR configurations, it improves inspection coverage, reduces manual risk, and supports faster incident reporting.
Painpoints
Manual inspections require track shutdowns and field teams.
Large linear assets are difficult to monitor consistently
Limited visibility of emerging faults and encroachments
Safety risks for inspection personnel
Advantages
Long-endurance corridor patrols without service disruption
Repeatable, digitised inspection workflows
Rapid incident identification and documentation
Reduced human exposure to hazardous environments
