Railroad Signaling, R&D, and Consulting

A Jacksonville, Florida engineering firm. Creators of RWTS™ — the open IoT standard that unifies railroad wayside telemetry — and the Wayside Maintenance Monitoring System that implements it.

What is RWTS?

The Railroad Wayside Telemetry Standard™ (RWTS) is an open, vendor-neutral protocol for monitoring railroad wayside equipment. Grade crossings, signals, switches, detectors, power systems - all communicating in a common language.

Published under Apache 2.0. No licensing fees. No vendor lock-in.

Wayside Maintenance Monitoring System

The reference implementation of RWTS - built by the team that designed the protocol.

Standalone

Wayside Sentinel

Edge software for wayside locations. Polls equipment, generates alarms, stores data locally. Works independently.

Complements Sentinel

Wayside Overwatch

Dispatch-side dashboard. Receives telemetry and alarms from Sentinel; presents the fleet in one view.

Complements Sentinel

Wayside Nexus

Centralized metrics collection and long-term storage. Aggregates telemetry from your fleet — ready to feed analytics, trend analysis, and reporting.

Railroad Expertise

Our engineers have designed and maintained signal systems for Class I railroads, regional carriers, and short lines across North America — including historical engineering work for CSX, BNSF, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, Canadian National, and CONRAIL. We built RWTS because we've lived the interoperability problem firsthand.
