DJ Products Supplies Railcar Movers.
The rail industry has been impacted by innovative equipment such as battery-powered railcar movers. Here are the hottest technology trends that are also shaping the direction of the rail industry for today and the future.
The Internet of … Trains?
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, it’s becoming easier and more cost-efficient for passenger and freight services to gather and analyze data. Digital integration is now the norm rather than the exception.
Science Fiction Becomes Reality
Improvements in augmented and virtual reality are enabling solutions such as smart glasses, which let employees in the field transmit images to technicians and other staff back at headquarters.
There’s an App for That
Apps are the key to delivering a more personalized experience for rail users with functions such as booking tickets and offering updated schedule information.
Fighting Cyber-Crime
No industries are immune from hackers and cyber-crime. Rail companies face a two-fold threat from attacks on train operations and data collection.
Twice as Nice
A digital twin is a software model that replicates a physical object or system to allow simulation and analysis of real-world situations. Digital twins are particularly useful for rail companies to study and improve maintenance operations.
New Transport Options Emerge
Companies such as Uber and Lyft follow a model that leverages capacity without the need for major investment. How will the traditional transport companies respond to this challenge?
East Meets West
China has become a major player in the transport industry, and Chinese firms are expected to continue making strategic alliances with Western companies.
