Pod-Trak is proud to have been recognised for excellence at the 21st Rail Business Awards, where our joint entry with Heathrow Airport, Camlin Rail, Fairhurst & Partners and Network Rail was named winner of the Supplier & Contractor Excellence Award.
The award was presented at the prestigious ceremony held at the London Hilton on Park Lane on 21 February, celebrating innovation, collaboration and outstanding delivery across the rail industry.
The accolade recognises the success of Pantobot 3D, an innovative product developed by Camlin and delivered in the UK through this five-company alliance. The system offers major advantages over traditional monitoring methods – most notably complete automation, which has significantly reduced unexpected downtime and helps prevent disruptive events such as the three-day shutdown experienced in 2015.
A key driver behind the project’s success was the strength of the alliance. By bringing together expertise from across the supply chain, the team was able to create genuine value for Heathrow Airport and deliver an industry-first solution. Every stage of the programme was planned and executed collaboratively, ensuring the alliance operated as a living, adaptive system that continuously evolved to meet the needs of the project and its stakeholders.
This award is a testament to what can be achieved through collaboration, innovation and shared purpose across the rail industry.
