Leveraging Data and AI for Predictive Maintenance in Rail Webinar

April 24, 2024 | Online :: Central Time

Maintenance is a major recurring cost for rail operators and asset owners. Predictive Maintenance, which can predict the likelihood of failure, has the potential to greatly improve efficiency, reliability and safety of rail operations. While the opportunities are abundant there are also challenges.

Railway companies are in various stages of data utilization and maintenance maturity to explore, comprehend and adopt Predictive Maintenance. This complimentary 60-minute webinar will introduce key concepts such as Big Data and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT); discuss use cases of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) in rail maintenance; highlight benefits and challenges in leveraging Big Data; and share best practices from pilot projects.

Learning Outcomes

• Develop skills to interpret AI systems and build the AI-mindset within your organization
