“T-Bane”, tunnel railway, founded in 1928, the 115 trains operated at present carry almost 350,000 passengers daily on a rail network spanning 86 km. Problem were the depots and the manual processes around parking-lot planning and physical parking of trains. The position of the trains could not be automatically synchronized with the digital workshop system. All of this caused some process-inefficiency. Digitalization is the motto here to automate planning processes, reduce mistakes, improve flexibility, and speed up response time. 

• Automation of processes in order to reduce downtimes and unproductive work            
• Automatically locate trains in depots and parking places 
• Combining with other systems, e.g. train maintenance planning 
• Finding all information about trains at once in one system

• 250 RTLS Gateways for locating the trains in depots and parking places                                    
• SIMATIC Locating Manger for feeding the information into the system and combining them with other systems 
• Each train equipped by 2 transponders and antennas (at each driver´s cab)
