Railway maintenance data integration
Brings ERP/EAM, inspection cars, testing, telemetry and field records into a single asset model — with the history reconciled, not merely transported.
Context
No model compensates for data that does not talk. The typical case is not missing data: it is the same intervention recorded under three different identifiers in three systems, chainage that changes reference between sections, and field history that never reached the management system.
Integration here is first of all railway engineering: deciding what counts as the same asset, what counts as the same intervention, and which source prevails when two disagree. A generic integration tool solves data transport and hands the meaning problem back intact.
A connector built once is reused on the next client. That is deliberate: it is what stops every implementation from starting over and what makes integration cost fall over time instead of rising.
What you get
What you get
Source connectors
Integration with ERP/EAM (SAP PM and equivalents), inspection databases, inspection car files, testing records and onboard telemetry.
Single asset model
Reconciliation of identifiers, chainage reference and segmentation, so the same stretch of real track is the same record in every source.
Consolidated intervention history
Work orders, incidents and field records aligned in time and space — the raw material of any degradation model.
Declared data quality
What each source supports, with what coverage and since when. A known gap is an assumption; an ignored gap is a projection error.
When this applies
Situations in which this line of work is the right starting point.
- Every department has its own version of maintenance history.
- Chainage reference changes from system to system.
- Field records are kept on paper or spreadsheets and never return to the management system.
- A previous analytics project stopped at the data stage.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you install sensors?
No. Supplying and installing sensors and hardware is out of scope. We work on the client’s existing instrumentation and, where new instrumentation is genuinely needed, through partners.
Will our data feed a competitor’s model?
The derived-data clause is negotiated explicitly in the contract before work starts. What exists is aggregated, anonymised benchmarking across clients — never raw data, never identifiable.

Maintenance windows and capacity
The window is the scarce resource. Allocates interventions against the real circulation grid and translates maintenance into capacity: headway, transit time and volume.

The wagon cycle does not end at the destination yard. Measures arrival, shunting, positioning, loading and release with the same ruler used for track time.

How much of your maintenance budget is well allocated?
The conversation starts with the problem, not the platform: which decision is made today without enough data, and what the order of magnitude would be if it improved. Thirty minutes, no corporate deck.
