Anti-copper theft solution for railways
Stop copper theft and secure your railways
Our innovative tracking solution immediately detects any attempt to steal copper cables from your railway infrastructure. At the slightest suspicious movement, a real-time alert is triggered, instantly contacting a monitoring center that can alert your response teams or law enforcement. The precise location of the offense is transmitted, enabling a rapid response on site and stopping the theft in progress before serious damage occurs. The result: your facilities are protected, thieves are deterred, and you avoid the high costs of cable replacement and rail traffic disruptions.
Railway safety
Protect your critical infrastructure against copper theft, receive instant alerts, and ensure the operational continuity of your network.
Monitoring of equipment and sensitive areas
along railway tracks and construction sites.
Detection of abnormal movements
enabling a rapid response in the event of theft or intrusion.
Long-lasting standalone solution
without external power supply, suitable for isolated and challenging environments.
24/7 instant alert in case of theft
Our sensors continuously monitor your cables. If an attempted theft occurs, the system immediately triggers an alert, at any time of day, via the HeronTrack app. You receive an instant notification, and at the same time, the 24/7 alarm center is automatically notified so that a rapid response can be organized. This immediate response allows thieves to be caught in the act and damage to be minimized.
Accurate GPS location of the incident
Each tracker has a built-in, super-accurate GPS module. If an alarm goes off, you'll know exactly where the incident is happening—which section of track or where the cable is being stolen. The alert comes with precise coordinates on a map, guiding your response teams or the police straight to the scene of the crime, even if it's in a remote area. You save valuable time in stopping the theft and securing your installations.
Simple installation and self-calibration
Our solution is quick to implement and does not require any major changes to your infrastructure. The compact sensors are easy to install on your existing cables or equipment. Once in place, each device self-calibrates to learn its normal environment and effectively detect the slightest anomaly in movement or tilt. You don't need to be an expert: installation is plug & play, and our teams are on hand to assist you with hassle-free integration in the field.

"Thanks to the HeronTrack tracking solution, we have drastically reduced copper cable theft on our network. Each real-time alert allows our teams to respond within minutes, which has virtually eliminated service interruptions related to these thefts. This is a major change for the security of our infrastructure."
How does a copper theft prevention system for railways work?
The solution relies on connected sensors installed directly on cables or critical infrastructure. In the event of movement, a cut, or suspicious vibration, an alert is sent in real time (via text message, phone call, or a dedicated platform), enabling an immediate response.
Where are the trackers installed on the rail network?
Trackers can be placed on signal cables, electrical systems, isolated or high-risk areas, or equipment cabinets. They are designed to be discreet and difficult to detect.
Does the solution work in remote areas without network coverage?
Yes. HeronTrack trackers use long-range communication technologies (LTE, Sigfox) that allow alerts to be transmitted even in remote areas or areas with poor coverage.
How quickly do you respond to attempted thefts?
The alert is almost immediate. As soon as an abnormal movement is detected (a power outage, vibration, or displacement), a notification is sent in real time to the relevant teams.
Does the solution require a complex installation?
No. HeronTrack trackers are designed for quick installation without complex wiring. They can be easily mounted on existing equipment.
Is this solution suitable for large rail networks?
Yes. It is scalable and can be deployed across thousands of critical locations, with centralized management via a single platform.
How do teams receive alerts?
Alerts can be sent via text message, phone call, and notifications on the HeronTrack platform. This enables a quick response, even outside of business hours.
Can this solution be integrated with existing systems?
Yes. The solution can be integrated with existing monitoring or security systems via API or webhook.
