Progress Rail will highlight its extensive line of rolling stock, infrastructure and engine solutions available for freight and transit customers through a new lens this year – with attendees witnessing augmented and immersive virtual reality experiences at InnoTrans 2018. These holographic representations will allow visitors to visualize real-world applications and determine which solutions fit the needs of their operations.
Additional innovations available on display include the company’s PR Uptime Suite, an advanced predictive analytics platform to transform data into actionable results; signaling solutions for the international market from ECM S.p.A., its recent acquisition; Fatigue and Distraction Monitoring to achieve increased railway safety; and Guardian End-of-Train technology to transmit real-time data from the locomotive cab to the last rail car.
Progress Rail has steadily increased its focus on delivering advanced technologies across the entire rail ecosystem, allowing railways to experience enhanced safety, reliability and fleet performance. “Our latest suite of technology-enabled solutions improves the performance of your fleet by alerting customers to potential issues before they become real problems – which translates not only to safer railways, but also adds significant savings through preventable downtime,” said Progress Rail Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advanced Technology, Paul Denton. “Our innovations can work individually, or be combined to create a seamless, powerful network for your rail operations.”
InnoTrans is the premier international trade fair for transport technology with an estimated 150,000 show attendees. Visitors to this year’s show will have the opportunity to experience Progress Rail’s exhibit, totaling more than 550 square meters of floor space in Hall 6.2, Stand 514. In a separate hall, ECM will feature its signal offerings, along with Progress Rail’s signal technologies, in Hall 4.2, Stand 106.
