Operations intelligence

Operations intelligence: When trains get smarter as they roll

By aggregating all relevant rail operation management and rail system data, we enable near real-time operations monitoring for proactive and reactive in-service support and remote functionalities like CCTV file transfers from train to landside with operations intelligence.

Operations intelligence for optimized rail operation managment Less unplanned downtime and unnecessary depot stops, reduced operational costs, and up to 100 percent availability – while also increasing sustainability and reducing energy costs: Aggregating all relevant data on a rail system’s status in an open ecosystem makes it all possible! By processing these data intelligently and providing the rail operator with information and recommendations for action, the operational intelligence software Railigent X application suite helps optimize rail operation management day after day and around the clock – from an overall fleet perspective to each system component on the train. It’s our goal and vision to enable 100% Railigent X with everything we supply. This means ensuring that all our rolling stock and rail automation systems that leave our factories will come with all the required IT architecture and software for operations intelligence – so we can immediately start delivering the data required to provide our standardized digital services at the push of a button.

Operational intelligence solutions from Siemens Mobility reduces service-critical incidents by up to 20 percent.

Fewer incidents affecting service

Early detection of potentially service-critical events helps keep trains running by up to 20% fewer incidents affecting service.

Siemens Mobility uses operational intelligence software to help reduce downtime – and the resulting penalties.

Lower service delay costs

Better adherence to the timetable means fewer penalties for operators by up to 40% lower service delay costs.

Siemens Mobility uses operational intelligence solutions to help ensure availability rates of to 100 percent.

System availability

Assessing operational performance based on near real-time monitoring enables continuous improvement by up to 100% system availability.

The benefits of digital applications Anticipating potentially service-critical events opens up a whole new dimension of operational reliability, where problems can be averted before they occur. This is exactly what the Railigent application suite offers for rail operation management.

Railigent application suite: Train operation management and decision making redefined

Near real-time data provide control room technicians with a complete overview of the entire fleet in operation, the current position of the individual trains, and the analysis of the health status of all important components in the trains and on the track. This allows them to immediately detect and assess unusual conditions and avert potentially service-critical events in numerous cases. With operations intelligence, system availability and scheduled operation can be maintained at 100%. Timely and precise maintenance measures can be planned in advance, which also reduces downtimes and eliminates unnecessary depot stops.

In addition to its strong analytics, the application provides a partner ecosystem that enables the integration of third-party applications to further extend the range of applications.

Learn more about the application suite

How it works The Connectivity Toolbox transmits infrastructure and vehicle system data collected from numerous data points to the land side – securely and in real time. There the data are processed, analyzed, and used by applications and dashboards to provide operators with precise insights and appropriate recommendations.
