Value added for you – and your customers
Drive the next level of intelligent, digitalized traction power network for efficient, sustainable and secure railways – with SFC Analyzer, Arc Analyzer, and Stray Current Monitoring.
SFC Analyzer
The SFC Analyzer helps to make data from Static Frequency Converters transparent and hence not only enables analysis in a convenient and user-friendly manner but also reduces redundant and inefficient work. It also enables condition-based maintenance.
Arc Analyzer
The MindSphere application Arc Analyzer visualizes the appearance of arcs where they are common in your power supply system. Consequently it creates the transparency necessary to be able to draw specific conclusions on the condition of your overhead contact line system.
Stray Current Monitoring
The Sitras® SMS stray current monitoring system is used to monitor the track potential of DC railway networks. This system permits evaluation of the stray current conditions of the track and the early detection of insulation deficiencies, thus enabling measures to be taken to prevent damage due to stray current corrosion.
Improve operation and maintenance – with Sidytrac RT, iEMS, and AssetMon.
Sidytrac
In times of increasing transportation demand railway system operations become more complex and challenging. Sidytrac is a system that supports operations directly and allows to minimize the operational costs and to reduce the complexity.
iEMS
The intelligent energy management system Sitras® iEMS is our solution for optimizing energy supply and improving the overall energy efficiency within traction power and rail infrastructure systems. It provides the necessary transparency on current demands and a forecast based on trends. This helps for the realization of internal efficiency targets and requirements on sustainable installations and designs as well as to fulfill governmental requirements.
AssetMon
For maintenance aspects, transparency about the equipment conditions needs to be established. The AssetMon solution follows this idea and presents various data allowing to optimize service and maintenance. In many cases the relevant data is already available on field level and only needs to be transmitted to a SCADA or cloud.
Use your customer specific connection to send data to Siemens MindSphere – with our solutions for connectivity.
The collection and transmission of data is always the first step for a digital solution. In traction power supply systems a lot of data is already generated on field device level, e.g. in the protection devices. Depending on the respective application and the foreseen use cases there are various connectivity options which can be used. However, certain standards are used to establish cyber secure connections and allow cost efficient connectivity.
Seamless security guaranteed
IT security with the digital railway
Railways are and stay the safest means of transportation. Through digitalization, they can increase this lead and break new ground to fully leverage the competitive advantages of rail transportation.
But digitalization increasingly come with the need of IT security. Solutions that protect systems against physical interventions and IT manipulations. Siemens Mobility Services offers you a comprehensive concept for IT security – from risk analysis to continuous monitoring and IT security training.
Your advantage: Our IT security concept can be used in a modular manner. First of all, you can professionally assess your status and detect „open doors“ before undesired cyber visitors do. If desired, we harden your system, eliminate weaknesses and incorporate security technologies. Events which are relevant for IT security are detected during ongoing operations and indicated by special software solutions. Of course, we offer training on topics such as personnel, processes and technologies. The Siemens Rail Academy is an experienced partner to assist you.
