Moving Estonian Railways into the digital era through data Zaitsev admits that moving the railway into the digital era is a very long and laborious process .
“ The turning point for our company ,” he says , “ is global renovation , in which we are moving from relay-based CCS systems to microprocessor logic . The modernisation of control systems allows us to start collecting data , studying the behaviour of systems and making data-driven decisions .
“ Data is the basis for digital transformation . We have formed a digital transformation strategy for the next few years , and we decided to focus on building Enterprise Asset Management ( EAM ).”
This strategy includes 3 separate projects :
• Asset Management . This includes the register of the assets , warehouse module , and financial aspects of the assets and its lifecycle costs
• Field Service Management . The goal of this is to bring work planners and technicians to a unified , real-time platform for better planning and use of resources as well as an overview of the performed works .
• Digital Services . This gives additional value to asset management and all other IT systems from analytics and monitoring of the data perspective . In addition to that , the company is constantly developing the Geographic Information System ( GIS ), which stands for geospatial data management of assets .
