How to squeeze the most out of data with a rational and scalable digitalization platform

Marc Gispert spoke about rail digitalisation and making the most of data in the webinar ‘Integrated rail data management: emerging trends for unpredictable times’ on 8 Jun 2021

Thinking about the future of mobility, we see a different world where we will work in a more decentralized way; we see private transport as less necessary; we see public transport networks that reach further, are more efficient and sustainable, faster and more accessible.

The future will be a perfect union between the autonomous private or shared vehicle and collective transport – a perfect symbiosis where digitalization and artificial intelligence will be the backbone elements.Marc will speak about rail digitalisation and making the most of data in the webinar ‘Integrated rail data management: emerging trends for unpredictable times’ on 8 June Thinking about the future of mobility, we see a different world where we will work in a more decentralized way; we see private transport as less necessary; we see public transport networks that reach further, are more efficient and sustainable, faster and more accessible.

Currently, the transportation industry is changing. Increasingly, vehicles, assets and even the most insignificant elements have the ability to generate data. It is this data that is indispensable to create the ecosystem that will allow the generation of new processes, transport models, generate value for the citizens and contribute to the efficient development of the cities of the future. SAVANA is the answer to the inevitable need to channel all this information in a single place and put it at the service of operators, maintainers, and finally the end-user, to have the necessary information in the palm of their hand to make the best possible data-driven decisions .

SAVANA integrates all the information of the transport network, metro, high speed, streetcars, buses, from the vehicles to the infrastructure itself. This becomes an ecosystem of information and process automation that contributes to improving efficiency, increasing network availability, rationalizing resources and increasing user information. In this way, all workers, services and the entire ecosystem involved in ensuring the proper functioning of transport becomes digital, through the use of big data, artificial intelligence and IoT, and we can generate more efficient processes, such as operation plans and condition based maintenance (CBM) automated calendars.

CBM calendars are a clear example of how we’ve treated data and turned it into action. Considering preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance, SAVANA automated
calendars are designed to use your resources where the impact is highest. It follows a strategy which includes operational and timing constraints. Prioritization algorithms are set taking into account the condition, failure modes, and Mean Time Between Failure while adding preventive requirements.

Regarding data sources, there is no need to monitor all the assets but having them all on the same platform is mandatory. Thanks to SAVANA crossing data with ERP and other
information systems efficient depot management is possible.

Closing the loop with interactive tools for the workforce ensures a significant improvement in efficiency because of the automatization on parts of the process in a way that in some places the productivity increase reached values over 30%. Moreover the automatic reporting of anomalies detected by artificial intelligence helped the maintainers to achieve availability improvements around 40%.

Today, to stay ahead of unexpected breakdown or a lack of resources you need to innovate even more. Discover SAVANA’s strategies enabled by smart motors. We are the developers of next generation tools for the transport industry. We provide SAVANA‘s digitalization platform with a clear focus on data governance, tech adoption and departmental cooperation, the key elements needed for any successful railway company.

Quotes:

“Digitalization is not a project, it is a way of understanding the day by day matching between problem and solution fulfilled through the use of data, it is about small quick wins, cultural change and engagement&quot”.
