Railway
Consulting for railway companies. From strategic questions to implementation.
Changes in the railway sector have a profound impact on operating procedures, systems, and responsibilities. We combine railway expertise with technology and implementation skills. We leverage experience from European railway projects to ensure strategic decisions and effective application.
We know these connections from our project work. We bundle our support into five areas of action – from evaluating new possibilities to implementation in processes, systems, and organizations.
Our 5 areas of action in the railway sector
Digital Transformation & Smart Operations
Targeted control of operations and maintenance with data.
Which assets require which measures? How can capacities be better planned and investments prioritized? We develop digital approaches that allow you to understand conditions and processes and provide a sound basis for decisions.
- Vehicle localization and RFID solutions for depot operations.
- Key performance indicators and dashboards for maintenance planning and control.
- Concepts for condition-based and predictive maintenance, including data models, piloting, and implementation planning.
- Planning and simulation tools for capacities, timetables, and operational scenarios.
- Digital monitoring of component lifecycles and spare parts, as well as data-based prioritization of maintenance investments.
Personnel and Organizational Transformation
Aligning qualification with new tasks.
When technologies and workflows change, employees must be able to build and apply the necessary knowledge. We combine the identification of qualification needs with learning opportunities, their introduction, and the evaluation of learning success.
- Analysis of qualification needs and definition of learning objectives.
- Development of digital training and combined classroom and self-study formats.
- Integration of learning platforms and establishment of processes for knowledge provision.
- Coordination of training sessions, participants, and external providers.
- Accompanying communication, involvement of managers, and further development of offerings based on learning results and feedback.
Sustainability & Climate Resilience
Considering environmental compatibility and resilience in maintenance.
Which processes reduce energy consumption and environmental impact? How can infrastructure be prepared for extreme weather conditions? We develop concepts, coordinate their testing, and create the foundations for further implementation.
- Measures to reduce energy consumption in operations and maintenance.
- Assessment of climate-related infrastructure risks and development of adaptation strategies.
- Environmentally friendly maintenance procedures, such as glyphosate-free vegetation control.
- Integration of sustainability aspects into maintenance planning and budgeting.
- Coordination of pilot projects and impact assessment, as well as communication with organizations, politics, and the public.
Customer-Centric Mobility & Seamless Travel
Developing offerings further from the perspective of passengers and operators.
Mobility offerings should be convenient and flexible for passengers while also being economically viable to operate. We examine utilization, operating models, and development opportunities, translating the findings into strategies and concrete projects.
- Strategies for integrated, passenger-oriented mobility offerings.
- Development of new business and operating models, for example with smaller, flexible fleets.
- Analysis of utilization and route efficiency to further develop the offering.
- Communication and participation during changes to mobility offerings.
- Establishment and implementation of innovation programs for new mobility concepts.
IT Security for Critical Railway Infrastructure
Embedding security in organization and operations.
IT security in the railway sector must align with the requirements for safe operations. We support you in systematically addressing risks, clarifying responsibilities, and implementing security measures.
- Development of security strategies and the establishment and introduction of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
- Establishment of security organizations and support in filling and empowering key roles.
- Risk management for operational technology systems, taking operational safety requirements into account.
- Processes for supplier security and emergency management.
- Awareness raising and training, as well as preparation and operational support for audits and certification processes.
What we bring to your projects
Understanding of the entire maintenance process
A target vision until 2035, many dependencies. How we brought structure to the further development of a new TK platform.
An international and specialized network
Since our founding, we have worked with European railway companies, institutions, and technology partners, as well as specialized providers of railway technologies. This allows us to specifically supplement the knowledge required for a task.
Railway expertise and experience in implementation
We combine industry-specific knowledge with management and change expertise. European market and technology knowledge helps to evaluate solution options and develop them further for the specific task.
Experience with public and regulated organizations
Our project work includes public operators and infrastructure companies. We are familiar with complex decision-making and responsibility structures and take these into account when planning and implementing projects.
