Case Study: European Rail Network Operator balances OPEX, CAPEX, and risk with Cosmo Tech Asset

How a rail network operator balanced OPEX, CAPEX, and risk to make optimal decisions and ensure the robustness of their strategic plan

A European rail network operator faced the challenge of balancing maintenance and operational expenses (OPEX) with capital investments (CAPEX) for its network. They needed a strategic asset investment plan that would ensure service quality standards, remain within budget, and protect against unforeseen risks and cascading effects. To address this, they worked with Cosmo Tech.

The solution involved implementing Cosmo Tech's Prescriptive Simulation Twin, Cosmo Tech Asset, to model and simulate the entire rail network. This enabled the operator to analyze unlimited scenarios, manage trade-offs, and identify the optimal investment strategy. As a result, Cosmo Tech significantly accelerated the planning process, allowing the operator to choose a robust plan that met all key performance indicators for service quality, safety, and reliability demanded by stakeholders.
