The French National Railway Corporation — the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français, or SNCF RÉSEAU — is a state-owned company that operates France’s world class railway system. SNCF Réseau oversees the management and maintenance of 30,000 kilometers of railway line with 15,000 trains running daily. With ridership increasing 50% in the last 10 years, SNCF Réseau faces daunting logistical challenges that have made it critical to optimize maintenance of railway lines and equipment.

Fixing Assets Before They Break
More than a decade ago, SNCF Réseau invested in remote sensors and monitoring systems to deliver data on track equipment, motors and other assets in the field. The company built a system that fed this sensor data into a supervision system capable of generating telephone alerts for maintenance personnel.

As a result, the system generated a tremendous amount of data and alerts on equipment performance and incidents, but railway operators did not always trust the alerts they received.
