Railway Maintenance DX
Track Monitoring Data × AI / Application Development
Accelerating the DX of railway maintenance with track data and AI.
INTRODUCTION
We have entered into a business partnership with Nippon Senro Gijutsu Co., Ltd. (NSG) to develop AI and applications that leverage the high-frequency track data obtained from track equipment monitoring. From organizing challenges to implementation and adoption, we provide end-to-end support for operational efficiency tailored to the needs of railway operators.
Business partnership with Nippon Senro Gijutsu (NSG)
PARTNERSHIP
NSG has built a common data platform, "RAMos+®," to manage track condition data and has been advancing Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) for railway tracks. Through this partnership, we combine NSG's expertise in track management and the data accumulated in "RAMos+" with our knowledge of AI and application development, accelerating the implementation and advancement of CBM in track management.

DATA TO APPLICATION
Track equipment monitoring devices mounted under commercial trains acquire high-frequency track condition data. Together with NSG, we leverage this data on the "RAMos+®" platform to develop applications that support maintenance operations.
Track irregularity
monitoring device
A device that acquires track irregularity data indicating distortions and other conditions of the track.
Track material
monitoring device
A device that captures image data showing the condition of materials such as sleepers and rail fasteners.
Track equipment monitoring system
RAMos+®
A common platform that processes large volumes of acquired data and provides data analysis and various maintenance-support applications geared toward CBM.
By aggregating high-frequency track data collected by each operator, the accuracy of track condition analysis improves and the sharing of technology and expertise progresses, further accelerating the evolution of CBM in track maintenance.
Turning railway operators' expertise into apps that streamline operations.
TAILORED SOLUTIONS
Beyond the realm of track equipment monitoring, we develop operational-efficiency applications tailored to each operator's needs, starting from the on-site expertise railway operators have built up. We provide end-to-end support, from organizing operational challenges to designing AI and apps, implementing them, and supporting their operation and adoption.
