This project culminated in a successful Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and Proof of Concept, identifying promising market entry pathways and paving the way for potential further collaboration through Fujitsu's Vision AI strategy for the transport sector.
This partnership highlights Fujitsu's strategic consulting which supports early-stage innovations and growth, empowering diverse partners like Rinicom to bring visionary technology to market, and pioneering rail safety for the UK market with AI.

Pilot demonstration at platform–train interface. Yellowline AI demonstrated ≥90% detection accuracy with ≤2s latency using real-time computer vision, behavioural risk scoring, and a small language model (SLM) to accurately detect unsafe platform behaviours and automatically generate context-aware safety announcements.

Rinicom benefited from Fujitsu’s consulting capabilities through enhanced strategic business clarity. Fujitsu developed a robust business case, providing in-depth market research and competitive analysis to identify key market entry points and differentiators. Furthermore, Fujitsu supported risk mitigation strategies and created a comprehensive stakeholder map and engagement strategy crucial for navigating the complex UK rail ecosystem. The collaboration also accelerated market entry and growth for Yellowline AI, with Fujitsu formulating a comprehensive Go-to-Market Strategy that included venture building options and an innovative business model moving towards an "AI-as-a-Service" approach with flexible licensing for scalable deployment. Additionally, Rinicom received critical deployment support, ensuring the solution's scalability, integration capabilities, and alignment with industry standards.

The Yellowline solution itself offers significant potential benefits and outcomes for the rail sector. It has the potential to deliver substantial financial savings by reducing delay penalties, helps avoid considerable asset damage, and crucially contributes to reducing passenger harm. By improving operational efficiency and significantly reducing the number of incidents per year per station, Yellowline AI stands to transform rail safety.
