Data & Technology

Suppliers in this category provide automated shunting systems that improve the efficiency, safety and precision of locomotive movements in depots and yards. These systems reduce the need for manual intervention, lower operating costs and support more reliable train assembly and dispatch.

Suppliers in this category provide industrial computing hardware for the rail sector. This includes handheld devices for staff, on-board computers for trains and control systems used in operations centres and signalling environments.

Data transmission in the rail sector refers to the transfer of information between trackside systems, on-board equipment and control centres. Suppliers in this category provide solutions that enable reliable, real-time communication for train control, diagnostics, passenger information and system monitoring.

Diagnostic warning systems enable operators to detect faults and performance issues in real time, helping prevent failures and improve train reliability. Suppliers in this category offer solutions that monitor key systems on rolling stock and alert operators to potential problems before they lead to service disruption.

Management information systems in rail provide real-time and historical data to support decision-making, planning and performance monitoring. These systems help operators manage both passenger and freight operations more effectively by delivering insights into train movements, punctuality, capacity, energy usage and service delivery. Suppliers in this category offer platforms that turn raw operational data into actionable intelligence.

Remote control systems in the rail sector allow locomotives or infrastructure components to be operated wirelessly using radio or infrared signals. These systems are commonly used in shunting yards, depots and maintenance facilities to improve safety, reduce manual workload and increase operational efficiency. Suppliers in this category offer remote control solutions for both rolling stock and fixed assets.

This category includes software tools and digital platforms that support rail operations, data analysis and decision-making. Solutions may include planning tools, diagnostic platforms, data visualisation dashboards and performance monitoring applications. Suppliers offer systems that help operators manage operations more efficiently and respond to real-time and historical insights.
