Smart Trains for a Smart Future – Predictive Maintenance for the Rail Industry

Hitachi Consulting and Hitachi Rail are bringing together the best of Hitachi to realise our vision of a digital railway that will deliver an enhanced and total passenger experience. We are exploiting Big Data, and advanced analytics used for asset monitoring and predictive maintenance for the rail industry. Advanced analytics extracts real time insights that are used for traffic control and predictive maintenance for reliable service and on time performance, enabling new business models that provide rail as a service. We have experience in railway technology but also experience in IT and the control systems that are needed to bring that technology together to bring services that people want in the future – this is the internet of things at work delivering better outcomes for passengers, operators, and the society.
