Case Study: Lineas achieves lower operational costs with Ab Ovo’s Integrated Rail Optimization (IRON)

Lineas - Customer Case Study

Lineas, a rail cargo operator, needed a way to manage highly complex planning and scheduling across locomotives, drivers, and yard staff while meeting strict maintenance, routing, traction, and working-time constraints. To support this challenge, Lineas worked with Ab Ovo, using its Advanced Planning & Scheduling expertise and the Integrated Rail Optimization (IRON) solution.

Ab Ovo implemented IRON to help Lineas planners gain a full overview of the planning puzzle and make better decisions. The result was a more effective planning process that lowered operational costs, with fewer paths needed to serve the same number of trains.
