Innovation

To gain efficiency and competitiveness

Europorte continues to pursue high value-added innovative solutions and its digital transformation plan to secure the future.

Europorte is also continuing its approach to continuous improvement and modernization across the entire scope of its activities, along with its digital transformation plan, to prepare for the mobility of tomorrow by enhancing customer experience, maintenance management, and operational performance.
An innovative approach to predictive maintenance and the use of big data

Europorte has partnered with École Polytechnique and the company Railnova to design and operate algorithms for the maintenance of its locomotives.

This partnership enables Europorte to increase equipment availability, improve the reliability of its locomotive fleet, and ultimately continue to better meet customer needs while reinforcing its position as a leading private operator in service quality.

Based on the analysis of data collected by Europorte and consolidated within the Railnova system, these algorithms are also the subject of a research project as part of the Executive Master program at École Polytechnique.

“This innovative work will significantly transform rail maintenance toward a predictive model and increase our customers’ satisfaction.”

Europorte in the digital era: a few concrete examples

Europorte’s CSR approach is fully aligned with the Group’s ambition for sustainable growth and applies to all stakeholders across its value chain: customers, employees, suppliers, partners, communities, and others. It is built on active listening to adapt and respond to the challenges of the Group’s transformation in a rapidly changing environment. The governance and reporting processes implemented by Europorte, like those of the Group’s other subsidiaries, reflect a strong commitment, a desire for transparency, and the ambition to achieve exemplary standards in social, environmental, and societal responsibility.

RailFleet One

This application enables Europorte train drivers to report anomalies detected on locomotives directly from their mobile phones or tablets, providing a fully digitalized system for monitoring rolling stock.

PHOR for infrastructure

Europorte has implemented the PHOR maintenance engineering approach for infrastructure, evolving it toward predictive maintenance correlated with operational data and data from connected objects.
Track monitoring
Europorte uses drones and connected devices to monitor and inspect rail infrastructure, particularly on secondary lines and port networks, and to transmit data to PHOR (see above).

High-performance planning

Roster, the planning software, simulates and anticipates staffing requirements for each mission and duty location while integrating regulatory constraints, delivering significant productivity gains.
TAF-TSI standards
A set of European interoperability standards enabling Europorte to digitally communicate all freight train data to the relevant operators: composition, mileage, destination, weight, and wagons.

Adhoc Library

With the objective of going paperless, this single documentation repository for all Europorte activities is remotely accessible to all employees in digital format, with associated digital features.

Enhanced safety

Through the Sicor platform, Europorte field staff can exchange information and report incidents in real time to the Safety Department, further improving prevention efforts and striving toward zero accidents.
