Railsider is advancing railway digitalization with HERMES, its new integrated rail wagon management system designed to deliver real-time visibility, operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
This development represents a key milestone in the company’s technology strategy, integrating all wagon fleet data into a single platform supported by GPS technology already deployed across the fleet.
A centralized digital system for rail wagon management
HERMES transforms wagon management into a centralized, efficient and fully traceable digital environment.
The platform integrates data from railway operators, maintenance providers and external systems, providing a unified operational view, including:
- Wagon movements
- Operational status
- Maintenance history
- Recorded incidents
This improves planning, efficiency and responsiveness across the railway logistics chain.
01
Real-time visibility of the wagon fleet
HERMES enables real-time monitoring of rail wagons through GPS integration, providing:
- Exact wagon location
- Route tracking
- Trip event data
This allows better route optimization, incident anticipation and operational control.
Example of real-time railway route tracking with HERMES.
02
Predictive maintenance in rail transport
The system includes an advanced maintenance module that:
- Centralizes preventive and corrective maintenance
- It analyzes the full maintenance history and uses data from the last two years per wagon series to calculate the likelihood of future interventions.
This supports a shift toward predictive maintenance, reducing costs and downtime.
03
Incident management and immobilized assets control
HERMES also includes:
- Centralized incident management
- Immobilized wagon tracking
- Custom alert systems
Ensuring faster and more structured responses.
04
Digitalization and operational coordination
The platform improves collaboration through:
- Centralized contact management
- Shared access to key operational data
Enhancing communication and execution.
Railsider drives railway digitalization
With HERMES, Railsider strengthens its position as an innovative railway operator, focusing on digitalization, operational efficiency, and the use of real-time data.
This system lays the groundwork for future developments in advanced analytics, automation, and logistics optimization within rail transport.
