Travel, Transport & Logistics
Shaping the Future Thanks to Digitization
The game changers digitalization and convergence have brought about metamorphoses in the established industry sectors of travel, transport, and logistics in recent years, in no small part the consequence of new living and travel habits. New market players have emerged and become major forces as have innumerable digital services for sharing, pooling, and intermodal door-to-door travel. Despite the scope of these transformations, the end of such developments is by no means in sight. The next wave is already lapping at the threshold, featuring (among other things) self-driving vehicles, fundamentally new approaches in last-mile delivery, “digital construction” based on building information modeling (BIM), the secure “digital transport” of information, and digital asset monitoring with IoT and data analytics.

The magnitude of the challenges facing our rail, postal, and transport and logistics clients is equally daunting. An essential key to success is keeping pace with accelerating velocity of the ICT industry, and that in itself demands a high level of market orientation, focus, and innovation.

Different approaches for a workshop visit of a damaged wagon are simulated and surprising findings are derived and visualised. Read about the development cooperation and challenges as well as the developed solution in the article of the Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau (only available in german).

SBB - Data Analytics for Causes of Delays
Swiss Federal Railways (SBB, CFF, FFS) is considered one of the most on-time rail operators in Europe. This was not enough for the company. Daniele Guidetti (SBB) and Gernot Stocker (Detecon) explained in the "Big Data Insider" how a new data analytics software solution now identifies and classifies the reasons for schedule deviations fully automatically so that systematic causes can then be eliminated consistently.
