Senceive is proud to announce that Eddyfi Remote Monitoring Solutions has been shortlisted for two GE Geotech Awards 2026, recognising our continued innovation in monitoring technologies for critical infrastructure.
We has been named a finalist in the following categories:
- Digital Tool of the Year
- Best Use of Instrumentation & Monitoring
Digital Tool of the Year
We have been shortlisted for our FlatMesh CameraHub, an intelligent imaging solution developed specifically for the demanding requirements of remote infrastructure monitoring.
The technology has its roots in a partnership with Network Rail that began in 2016. Initially, wireless tilt sensors were deployed to provide early warning of ground movement on vulnerable embankments and cuttings. Following successful deployments, Network Rail challenged Senceive to develop a camera system that would allow engineers to remotely verify alerts before travelling to site.
Designing a camera capable of operating reliably in the railway environment presented several unique challenges. The system needed to operate around the clock without using visible light that could distract train drivers, function without fixed power or communications infrastructure, require minimal maintenance, and deliver sufficient image quality to identify hazards from significant distances.
Unable to find a suitable off-the-shelf solution, Senceive developed its own. The first generation combined solar power, cellular communications, near-infrared imaging, edge computing and advanced power management to deliver scheduled and event-triggered images within minutes of a sensor alert. For the first time, engineers could remotely verify ground movement, reducing false alarms and avoiding unnecessary inspection visits and costly train delays.
The technology has continued to evolve, culminating in the launch of the FlatMesh CameraHub in 2025. The latest generation delivers high-resolution 5MP imagery, exceptional low-light performance without external illumination, advanced self-cleaning lens technology, an integrated solar-powered battery system, and a compact modular design for rapid installation and maintenance.
Today, more than 1,300 CameraHub systems are deployed across 600 UK rail sites, where they have captured over six million images. The technology has also been adopted for applications including mining, rockfall monitoring and bridge strike detection.
Recent developments have further enhanced decision-making through improved visualisation within the cloud-based WebMonitor platform and dedicated signal box portals, enabling railway signallers to view live site images and request additional photographs when ground movement is detected.
Best Use of Instrumentation & Monitoring
Our second shortlisted entry recognises the innovative application of its intelligent camera technology alongside wireless monitoring instrumentation to help protect railway earthworks.
With Network Rail managing approximately 190,000 earthworks and around 150 slope failures occurring each year, effective monitoring is essential to reduce risk, prevent disruption and improve safety.
The award submission showcases how Senceive has combined wireless tilt monitoring with intelligent imaging to provide a more complete understanding of earthwork behaviour. Tilt sensors provide early warning of ground movement, while CameraHub delivers immediate visual confirmation, allowing engineers to rapidly assess conditions and make informed decisions before travelling to site.
This integrated approach has significantly improved confidence in monitoring data, reduced false alarms, shortened response times and helped minimise unnecessary train delays while maintaining safe railway operations.
The continuous development of the solution - from the original wireless monitoring system to today's intelligent imaging platform with detailed analysis demonstrates how remote monitoring technologies can deliver safer, more efficient infrastructure management.
Being recognised in these categories reflects the innovation, dedication and expertise of our teams, who continue to develop monitoring solutions that help infrastructure owners make more informed decisions.
A huge thank you to our partners and clients for their continued trust and collaboration. Achievements like this wouldn't be possible without your support.
We look forward to celebrating with the industry in October, and wish the very best of luck to all of this year's finalists!
