Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: DUOT) recently secured a groundbreaking patent for its obliquevue® Oblique Vehicle Undercarriage Examiner. This innovative technology is set to transform railcar inspection through its unprecedented accuracy and real-time analysis capabilities. The patent was granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Titled “Device to capture high resolution images of the undercarriage of a freight car,” the patent cements the Jacksonville-based company’s position as a frontrunner in wayside detection technology.
At the heart of this technological breakthrough is the obliquevue® system, which provides a unique perspective on railcar undercarriages. By capturing high-resolution oblique images, the system can detect anomalies that might be missed by traditional inspection methods. This approach is imperative for undercarriage inspections, which have historically been challenging and dangerous to perform manually.
The obliquevue® technology is not just a standalone innovation; it seamlessly integrates with Duos’ existing Railcar Inspection Portal (RIP®) and CENTRACO® platform. This integration creates a comprehensive inspection ecosystem that leverages advanced AI and sophisticated imaging sensors to meet safety standards set by the Association of American Railroads (AAR) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Duos’ technology has already had an impact on the rail industry. In 2024, the company’s patented imaging systems scanned nearly 10 million railcar images, demonstrating widespread adoption and trust from the industry in their solutions.
The introduction of Duos’ AI-powered inspection technology represents a significant step forward in rail safety. By automating the inspection process, the technology significantly reduces the risk of workplace accidents. Moreover, the system’s ability to detect a wide range of issues, from low-hanging air hoses to open doors, enhances overall rail security and operational efficiency. As the rail industry continues to evolve, Duos Technologies stands at the forefront of innovation. With its expanding portfolio of patents and the growing adoption of its technologies, Duos is well-positioned to shape the future of rail inspection and safety.
