A Digi International Case Study
Digi International provided a solution for OEM Technology Solutions, a company that creates control and monitoring systems for railway operators. The challenge was to enable preventative maintenance and condition-based monitoring for systems like HVAC and passenger Wi-Fi, which required reliable wireless internet connectivity on trains to gather data remotely and avoid costly downtime.
The solution implemented by Digi International involved the ConnectCore Wi-9C embedded wireless module and the Digi TransPort WR44 cellular gateway. These products wirelessly connected the railway controllers to the internet, enabling remote data collection, preemptive maintenance alerts, and on-board passenger Wi-Fi. The results included minimized train downtime through predictive repairs, optimized HVAC energy consumption, and an enhanced passenger experience.
