Case Study: Istanbul Metro boosts operational efficiency with Autodesk Tandem digital twins

Metro stations conducting efficient operations with digital twins

Istanbul Metro, a major public transit authority providing transportation for over 3 million people daily, faced the challenge of maintaining its vast network of stations and systems with maximum efficiency. The company sought to minimize downtime, reduce operational and maintenance costs, and proactively address potential issues to ensure a high-quality service. To overcome these challenges, they turned to vendor Autodesk and implemented a digital twin solution using the Autodesk Tandem platform.

The solution involved creating a precise digital replica of a pilot station, which centralized critical data such as real-time facility information, maintenance procedures, and equipment signals. Using Autodesk Tandem, the team could visualize malfunctions, streamline maintenance processes, and perform predictive analysis. This project delivered significant results, including an anticipated 37.5% increase in operational efficiency and expected savings of up to 25% in both energy consumption and maintenance costs for Istanbul Metro.
