Case Study: Locomotive Services Provider predicts outages in near real time with Cloud Technology Partners on AWS

Locomotive Services Provider - Customer Case Study

Cloud Technology Partners helped the Locomotive Services Provider address the challenge of managing multiple streams of operational data from global locations in different formats, along with brittle systems and hard-to-diagnose streaming failures. The company needed a better way to collect and use near-real-time locomotive information, leveraging AWS.

Cloud Technology Partners created a centralized application on AWS to gather and normalize data, built a flexible application-specific data model, and added a global analytics dashboard plus RESTful APIs to connect downstream systems without unnecessary data copying. The team delivered a prototype in 4 weeks and a production solution in 6 months, enabling savings of more than $100,000 for each prevented locomotive outage.
