Optimize your train schedules
Synchronize train, terminal and vessel operations with industrial mathematics.
Optimal efficiency for rail operations
- When demand exceeds capacity, increase throughput by up to 5%.
- When demand is less than capacity, improve asset utilization by up to 10%.
- Whether demand is greater or less than capacity – RACE optimizes your rail ROI.
Synchronize rail and shipping schedules
- Move product to the terminals in anticipation of shipping requirements to minimize demurrage.
- Unified model for rail, stacking, stockpiling, reclaiming and vessel loading.
- Flexibility to model inbound rail operations (only if desired).
Model large, complex networks
- Model the world's largest rail supply chains.
- Develop and maintain a digital twin of your operations.
- Support multiple producers, haulage providers, load points, track networks, and terminals.
Plan maintenance while maximizing throughput
- Optimize timing of track maintenance around train demand for maximum efficiency.
- Effectively route demand around track maintenance.
- Maintain your rolling stock without disruption to train plans.
Unlock system capacity with mathematical optimization
- Quickly test and iterate network timetables.
- Find the best timetable for your constraints.
- Sandbox options to select the optimal timetable for your railroad.
Compare what-if scenarios to select optimal solution
- Analytics dashboard to summarise and present KPIs.
- Sandboxed scenario planning to run comparisons between scenarios.
- Centralized master data app for running optimization with one or more inputs.
