Operations intelligence for rail operations

100% system availability: When trains get smarter as they roll. By aggregating all relevant rail operation management and rail system data, we enable near real-time rail operations monitoring for proactive and reactive in-service support and remote functionalities like CCTV file transfers from train to landside with operations intelligence.

100% system availability: When trains get smarter as they roll. By aggregating all relevant rail operation management and rail system data, we enable near real-time rail operations monitoring for proactive and reactive in-service support and remote functionalities like CCTV file transfers from train to landside with operations intelligence.

Boosting efficiency, reliability, and safety in rail operations with operations intelligence

Less unplanned downtime and unnecessary depot stops, reduced operational costs, and up to 100% system 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 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.

System availability

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

Support for intelligent operational decision-making and seamless derivation of maintenance activities

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

The application Fleet Operations provides near real-time data to control room technicians which enables a complete overview of the entire fleet in operation, the current position of the individual trains, the health status of all important components in the trains and all relevant operational messages. This allows them to immediately detect and assess unusual conditions and avert potentially service-critical events in numerous cases while trains are running. System availability and scheduled operation can be maintained at up to 100%. Timely and precise maintenance measures can be planned in advance, which also reduces downtimes and also eliminates unnecessary depot stops. In addition to its strong analytics, the application provides a partner ecosystem that enables the integration of third-party applications which further extend the range of applications.

In combination with Fleet Control, remote commands, requests, and file transfers can be triggered from landside – this enables various Use Cases such as remote CCTV file transfers while trains are in service. Remote services help improving operational & maintenance performance and reduces related costs.

Operations intelligence from sensor and control device data to actionable insights for 100% system availability

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 for their rail operations.

With operations intelligence we can see the whole picture of what’s going on and solve issues before they become a problem.

The digital twin for rail: Enabling new use cases and Railigent X applications

Combining the physical and digital worlds for improved system availability, efficiency, and reduced costs: The digital twin of a train or rail infrastructure combines its IoT asset data with real-world insights. This allows us to precisely identify the condition of assets, detect anomalies, and simulate behaviors and workflows. Siemens Mobility Rail Services applies digital twin technology across the entire service portfolio to support maintainers, operators, and asset owners.
