Connected Train Trends and Opportunities

GE Transportation and relayr are also announcing the release of a joint white paper, entitled Connected Trains: Transforming Raw Data into Actionable Insights. It is available for free download: https://relayr.io/connected-trains

The white paper addresses how new regulations and required systems are enabling advanced forms of remote control in the rail industry. And, as a result, the significant challenges rail operators face from the growing universe of sensors, computers, and connectivity requirements. In addition, the white paper details how platform-agnostic data- and device-management systems offer the ability to transform robust and disparate streams of raw data into actionable business insights in real-time.

"Through our collaboration with GE Transportation, we continue to uncover new ways to enable operators within the transportation sector to harness the vast amount of data produced using real-life examples of modern locomotives," said Guneet Bedi, GM Americas, relayr. "While the main objectives for the rail industry have always been ensuring trains get to point A to point B in the safest, most cost-effective and timely way possible, in our white paper we highlight how the digitization of the industry is leading to better business outcomes for operators."
