What they do
Their core work
Altametris is a French SME specializing in intelligent inspection and asset management for transport infrastructure. Their H2020 work spans railway smart maintenance (IN2SMART, IN2SMART2 under Shift2Rail) and drone-based airspace services (USIS under SESAR), indicating expertise in remote sensing and data-driven decision support for infrastructure operators. They contribute as a specialist service provider — typically joining large consortia as a third party bringing inspection or data acquisition capabilities to broader maintenance and airspace management projects.

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
Railway infrastructure inspection
Recent focus
Intelligent asset management systems
Altametris entered H2020 in 2016 through railway infrastructure maintenance (IN2SMART) as a third party, then expanded into drone airspace management (USIS) in 2018. By 2019, they returned to railway maintenance with IN2SMART2, but with a sharper focus on intelligent asset management systems and decision support — suggesting a shift from pure inspection services toward data analytics and predictive maintenance tools.
Altametris is moving from field inspection services toward intelligent, data-driven asset management and decision support — a valuable direction for any consortium building predictive maintenance solutions for transport infrastructure.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: third_party_expertReach: European13 countries collaborated
Altametris primarily operates as a third-party contributor rather than a direct consortium partner, having joined 2 of 3 projects in this role. They participate in large consortia (38 unique partners across their portfolio), which suggests they provide a specialized service that larger railway and aviation programmes need but don't build in-house. Their low direct funding (EUR 48,716 from one project) indicates they are brought in for targeted technical contributions rather than leading work packages.
Despite only 3 projects, Altametris has connections to 38 unique partners across 13 countries — a wide European reach driven by their participation in large Shift2Rail and SESAR consortia. Their network is transport-sector focused, spanning both rail and aviation communities.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
Altametris sits at a rare intersection: they bring drone-based inspection and remote sensing expertise to both railway and aviation infrastructure domains. This dual Shift2Rail + SESAR experience means they understand both ground and airspace asset management — a combination few SMEs can offer. For consortium builders, they provide a ready-made bridge between rail maintenance and drone operations projects.
