Drive your network toward your digital destination
Rail owners must fully embrace digital transformation to meet the demands on tomorrow’s rail transportation. With digital project delivery and cloud collaboration, rail owners can ensure the cohesive management of data, assets, and people. Rail digitalization supports data-driven decisions that are perfectly placed, every time.
Solutions to support rail transformation
BIM for civil engineering
BIM is the foundation of digital transformation. By equipping every stakeholder to make more informed decisions across the project lifecycle, the BIM process helps optimize workflows, improve operational efficiency, and reduce project risks.
Using BIM, teams can successfully account for real-world conditions for improved model accuracy, all while collaborating seamlessly across teams.
Digital project delivery
Digital project delivery lets you connect people, data, and processes across the project lifecycle in a common data environment.
Integrate live, multi-discipline data, including BIM and GIS and open the door to automation and workflows that improve accuracy, connect dispersed teams and enable real-time collaboration.
Put project information in geospatial context
BIM and GIS cloud collaboration makes it easy for teams to explore and collaborate on project information with geospatial context.
This has significant implications for project teams, including improved design review, visualization, and exploration. Teams can also rapidly map and manage issues as they emerge, and by connecting documentations to relevant ArcGIS features, they can securely and efficiently track project updates.
Interoperability and open standards
Achieve stakeholder requirements by integrating open IFC standards and adhering to ISO 19650 for information management. Embracing these standards offers the benefits of enhanced stakeholder collaboration, seamless interoperability, a unified interconnected environment, and effective long-term asset management.
Centralized data management for a more resilient rail infrastructure
Improve Collaboration
Foster transparency in design and construction through collaborative reviews, standardized document management, and seamless communication via a shared data environment and interconnected workflows, reducing delivery delays
Reduce Downtime through Effective Maintenance
Enhance your rail infrastructure management with intelligent models enriched with metadata, seamlessly integrated with GIS data to access essential project details, ensuring efficient maintenance and preventing cost overruns
Reduce Environmental Impact
Actively harness the power of intelligent modeling to optimize material usage and employ third-party data integration for evaluating environmental impact and sustainability
Improve Data Exchange
Dismantle silos and effectively utilize the capabilities of a cloud-based common data environment to enable efficient information sharing among all stakeholders, leading to streamlined operations
