Modern railway systems generate vast amounts of data - not only from the fleets of trains but also the surrounding infrastructure such as signalling and track. HMAX is Hitachi Rail's new digital asset management solution designed for monitoring and managing such a diverse array of railway assets. One of HMAX's core use cases - catenary monitoring - leverages NVIDIA's IGX platform and Holoscan sensor processing to capture real-time contextual data at unprecedented speed and scale. The solution uses machine learning object detection of catenary and pantographs to identify potential faults. NVIDIA is helping to supercharge this innovation - with NVIDIA's capabilities, data processing time has been reduced from 10 days to 10 milliseconds, making it faster and easier for operators to optimise their maintenance plans and improve reliability than ever before. It's just one of the ways that HMAX is helping Hitachi Rail's customers around the world to improve the performance and reliability of their infrastructure.
