About Us
Welcome to Cordel We build hardware and software for automated rail inspection systems. Our technology helps railway operators spot track defects and maintenance issues before they cause problems. By combining LiDAR data, camera imagery, and geographic mapping, we give rail companies the detailed insights they need to keep trains running safely and efficiently. We're a diverse team of engineers who tackle complex technical challenges together. Our workplace values open communication, creative problem-solving, and the different perspectives each team member brings to the table.
