Case Study: Knorr-Bremse Group achieves 20% reduction in customer maintenance costs with OpenText Magellan BI & Reporting

Knorr-Bremse Enhances Analytics Platform Capabilities with OpenText

Knorr‑Bremse, the Munich‑based global leader in braking systems for rail and commercial vehicles, developed the iCOM IoT platform to monitor subsystems and enable condition‑based maintenance, but needed more powerful, user‑friendly analytics to handle massive, continuous sensor data and give customers predictive insight without heavy IT involvement.

Knorr‑Bremse embedded OpenText Magellan BI & Reporting (Magellan Analytics Suite) into iCOM to deliver real‑time imports, dynamic dashboards, heat maps and ad‑hoc reporting with fast development and cloud or on‑prem deployment; the solution scaled to very large data streams, sped time‑to‑market and drove customer outcomes including a 20% reduction in maintenance costs and an expected 2–4 year ROI.
