Two presentations from DB E&C were selected from 3,550 submissions, underscoring our ambitions and expertise in digital rail solutions and project management platforms.
Digital Twins in Rail Asset Management
Ana de Luna from DB E&C and Julio Palma from Autodesk presented “Twins on Track: Maximizing the Potential of Digital Rail Asset Management.” This session examined the impact of digital twins in the rail sector, highlighting the Digitale Schiene Deutschland project by Deutsche Bahn. The presentation focused on the role of digital twins in enhancing AI-driven railway operations, demonstrating improvements in efficiency and reliability. De Luna and Palma discussed the global adoption of digital twins, emphasizing their role in optimizing asset management and operational strategies.
A key topic was the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) data in rail systems, promoting seamless transitions from planning to execution. The speakers addressed issues of data integrity, accessibility, and collaboration, offering solutions to enhance data analysis and system resilience.
The session provided insights into future rail advancements, particularly how digital twins can evolve railway operations into intelligent, secure, and environmentally conscious systems. Attendees learned about designing data-driven strategies and the substantial impact of BIM data on operations and return on investment.
