Optimising the IoT to Exploit Smart Asset Data to Improve Network Availability, Extend Asset Lifetime and Reduce Costs

Despite the promise of digital and predictive maintenance strategies, many Railways continue to delay investing in them as it is difficult to shift from traditional, scheduled maintenance to a predictive model in one leap. However, for those who have adopted to cloud-based IoT and Big Data technologies, it enables them to develop predictive algorithms from heterogeneous data sources, realtime communications, and scalable data structures. This virtual workshop will demonstrate those Railways who have embraced the digital change, enabling them to exploit smart data to achieve rapid insights from disparate sources of information to help improve asset availability and service levels, reduce service delays due to unplanned outages, and implement smarter maintenance strategies.
