Our Transport Team attended 'The Rise of IoT & Big Data in Rail' conference in Munich on Tuesday. It was a popular event attended en masse by rail industry leaders and innovators prompting enlightening discussions and idea sharing around how Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) can be (and is being) used to improve asset management, proactive and predictive maintenance of track and train, and the digitalisation of the railways across Europe.
We have set out some of the key themes we took away from the conference below. Our specialist Transport Team at Womble Bond Dickinson has a great deal of experience advising on the introduction of technology to the rail industry and we look forward to supporting the industry in meeting the challenges and delivering solutions.
