Berlin, (ANTARA\/PRNewswire) - Huawei introduced Intelligent RAIL 2.0,\na next-generation solution designed to support smart transformation in\nthe global railway industry, during the InnoTrans 2026 event held from\n22\u201325 September. During the launch, Huawei brought together industry\nassociations such as the UIC (International Union of Railways) and UITP\n(International Association of Public Transport), alongside customers and\necosystem partners from various countries, to discuss the future\ndirection of the railway industry.<\/p>\n
Jean-Michel Evanghelou, Director of Digital Systems & Innovation,\nand Financial Control & Project Operations at UIC, stated that FRMCS\nwill serve as the initial step for railway operators in building a\nrobust digital foundation. He noted that the application of AI will\ncontinue to expand and integrate with the core systems of the railway\nindustry, making the standardisation of AI implementation increasingly\nvital.<\/p>\n
Mohamed Mezghansi, Secretary-General of UITP, and Lidia Signor, Head\nof Multimodal Transport at UITP, were also present at the event. Lidia\nSignor delivered a presentation titled \u201cGlobal Metro AI Intelligence and\nAutomation\u201d. In her presentation, she explained that UITP, together with\nthe China Association of Metro (CAMET), has published a research report\ntitled \u201cAI-Driven Smart Rail Transport\u201d. The report reviews the\napplication of AI solutions across various aspects, from the\nconstruction to the operation and maintenance of urban railways,\ncontributing to increased operational efficiency and the safety of\nrailway transport systems.<\/p>\n
In his presentation, Raymond Zuo, President of the Smart Rail BU at\nHuawei, stated that the progression towards the era of intelligent\ntechnology is driving more stakeholders to integrate digital and smart\ntechnologies into core business processes to address long-standing\nindustry challenges. According to him, these changes will be visible\nacross various lines: infrastructure will transition from GSM-R to\nFRHMCS, equipment maintenance will move towards condition-based and\npredictive approaches, freight transport will move towards an integrated\nservice-based logistics model covering multimodal transport, and\npassenger services will move towards a more seamless travel experience.\nFurthermore, infrastructure development will increasingly utilise\ndigital and smart technologies to enhance safety and operational\nefficiency.<\/p>\n
Drawing on experience implementing innovations with leading customers\nin various countries, Huawei introduced the \u201cintelligent RAIL\u201d\ninnovation strategy. This strategy leverages digital and smart\ntechnologies to enhance four key aspects of railways: reliability\n(Reliable), automation (Automated), integrated services\n(Integrated-serviced), and long-term evolution (Long-termed). At the\nevent, Huawei also introduced Intelligent RAIL 2.0, the latest\ngeneration comprising 20 scenario-based solutions. These solutions cover\nthree main areas: construction, passenger and freight transport, and the\nmaintenance of facilities and equipment, to address various\nlong-standing industry challenges. Huawei developed these solutions\nalongside partners with clearly defined roles: Huawei manages the\ncommunication and digital platforms, while partners focus on industrial\napplications. With this approach, solutions can be designed modularly\nand combined according to customer needs and specific business\nscenarios.<\/p>\n
To date, Huawei has served more than 50 major customers in the\nrailway sector worldwide and over 300 urban rail lines covering more\nthan 180,000 kilometres of track. In addition to being a leading global\nICT product provider, Huawei is also positioning itself as a partner in\ndigital transformation in the era of intelligent technology. Moving\nforward, Huawei will continue its \u201cplatform + ecosystem\u201d strategy by\nstrengthening cooperation with global customers and partners, deepening\nindustrial collaboration, following technological developments in the\nrailway sector, and driving the application of cutting-edge technology\nacross various railway scenarios. Through continuous development and\ninnovation of solutions, Huawei aims for global rail transport to move\ntowards a safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly\nfuture.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/huawei-launches-intelligent-rail-2-0-to-accelerate-digital-transformation-in-the-global-railway-sector-1790776998", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
