Komane Railtech Innovations (Pty) Ltd.

Komane Railtech Innovations (Pty) Ltd is a South African engineering startup developing next-generation intelligent rail infrastructure. The company focuses on creating smart rail systems that can automatically detect track defects and self-heal early-stage damage, helping prevent failures, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of rail assets.

Rail operators face major challenges such as hidden track deterioration, high maintenance costs, unexpected failures, and service disruptions that affect safety and reliability. Komane Railtech addresses these problems through an innovative self-monitoring and self-healing rail solution designed to improve safety, support predictive maintenance, and lower long-term maintenance costs.

The company is currently developing its early-stage prototype and plans to collaborate with accredited national research organisations for testing, validation, and further development as the technology progresses.
