Big Data Analytics & Automated Insights for Rail Systems

Zühlke acts as a global transformation partner, translating deep engineering expertise into measurable impact. We specialize in unlocking the value of immense data volumes to improve safety, efficiency, and maintenance in the railway industry.

Key Project Highlight: HaslerRail – Automated Data Analysis HaslerRail, a leader in train tachographs, faced the challenge of analyzing immense volumes of recorded data which was previously only used reactively after accidents. Zühlke delivered a comprehensive software solution:

• Big Data Architecture: We designed a robust architecture capable of handling high data volumes across various IT platforms.

• Automated Pattern Detection: Implementation of core modules for detecting data patterns to determine energy consumption and maintenance requirements automatically.

• User-Centric Design: Integration of a usability engineer to ensure a customer-friendly graphical interface for data presentation.

• Mixed Team Success: Rapid implementation through a collaborative team of Zühlke and HaslerRail staff, ensuring direct know-how transfer.

Our Approach: We utilize agile methods (Scrum) to develop core modules iteratively, ensuring all business-related functionalities meet defined targets. Our technical stack includes JEE, SQL, and advanced testing tools like Selenium and Mockito
