What to expect?

In this ERCI Webinar you will learn about the use of AI and video analytics technology for smarter rail maintenance.

At first, the webinar will present IKIM, IKOS Consulting’s industrial framework for railway predictive maintenance, based on Online Machine Learning and expert systems. Drawing on IKOS’s experience with SNCF Voyageurs, deployed on more than 1,000 trains in France, the session will highlight how AI can help reduce maintenance costs, minimize false positives, and improve asset availability. The session will provide a practical overview of predictive maintenance applications in rolling stock and infrastructure, as well as the key challenges and opportunities for scaling intelligent maintenance across the railway sector.

The second presentation will held by InspectRail – a spin-off from CEIT which is a technology centre with more than 40 years of experience in developing innovative technologies for the railway sector, and a founding member of Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking. Based on this strong background, InspectRail is advancing a 360° approach to railway infrastructure monitoring, combining continuous data collection with advanced analysis tools. Within this approach, video analytics plays an important role by adding visual context, enabling remote supervision and supporting automated anomaly detection.
