Viper Wins Innovation & Technology Award at Business Leader Awards for Rail Cable Condition Monitoring Technology
September 21, 2022

Recognition for innovation in rail signalling cable monitoring and fault detection
Viper Innovations has won the Innovation & Technology Award at the Business Leader Awards, held at Ashton Gate Stadium on Thursday 15th.
The award recognises the development and impact of CableGuardian, Viper’s rail cable condition monitoring and fault detection technology supporting critical rail infrastructure.
CableGuardian enables rail infrastructure cable condition monitoring and early fault detection
CableGuardian has been developed over four years from initial concept through to a deployed solution now supporting rail infrastructure applications.
The system provides continuous monitoring of electrical cables used in rail signalling and power networks, helping operators detect degradation and emerging faults caused by theft, vandalism and environmental wear before they result in service disruption.
Supporting rail operators to reduce maintenance costs and prevent signalling failures
Designed to reduce maintenance costs and prevent service-affecting failures, CableGuardian enables more proactive maintenance planning across rail networks.
By improving visibility of cable condition across signalling and power infrastructure, the system supports improved reliability, reduced downtime and greater operational resilience for rail operators.
Proven technology improving resilience across UK rail infrastructure networks
The award reflects the continued innovation and commitment of the Viper team in delivering technologies that enhance the reliability and resilience of critical rail infrastructure systems.
CableGuardian continues to support improved asset management and maintenance decision-making across rail networks where uninterrupted service is essential.
