Railsider recently took part in a conference organised by Mobility LAB Vitoria-Gasteiz, a leading forum focused on analysing the role of data spaces in improving operational efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness within the logistics sector.
The event, held at the Europa Conference Centre, brought together representatives from public administrations, technology providers and companies linked to intermodal transport and railway logistics, creating a space for dialogue centred on innovation, collaboration and the exchange of real-world experiences.
A real use case based on RFID and data sharing
As part of the conference, Álvaro Alcaraz from Railsider’s Wagons Department participated in a round table dedicated to real use cases within the logistics ecosystem. During his presentation, he shared the company’s experience in developing a pilot project based on RFID technology and the integration of data-sharing platforms.
This project has significantly improved the traceability of railway movements, optimised wagon management and strengthened coordination with other logistics operators, demonstrating the value of digitalisation in complex operational environments.
Digitalisation, real-time information and interoperability
The presentation highlighted how access to real-time information and the automation of operational events have become key elements for planning and decision-making, particularly in high-turnover scenarios, sensitive asset management or urgent operations.
Improved wagon identification, reduced waiting times and connectivity with interoperable systems clearly show the potential of these technologies to anticipate manoeuvres, optimise resources and deliver a more efficient and reliable logistics service.
Towards collaborative, data-driven models
Railsider also underlined the importance of moving towards collaborative models based on shared data, where interoperability between companies and public administrations enables process improvement, increases overall logistics system efficiency and supports the transition towards a more flexible, connected and sustainable logistics model.
The company would like to thank Mobility LAB and, in particular, Iñigo Bilbao, for the invitation to participate in this conference and for their role as facilitators of innovation in Álava.
For Railsider, taking part in this type of forum represents a strategic opportunity to share knowledge, learn from other industry stakeholders and reinforce its commitment to digitalisation, technological innovation and the continuous improvement of its logistics operations.
