Industrial Talk is onsite at IoT Solutions World Congress and talking to Mark Kraeling at Wabtec about "Using data telemetry to improve the safety and reliability of rail transportation."  Here are some of the key takeaways from our conversation:


Meet Mark Fraley. 4:02

Mark is a solutions architect with web tech incorporated Wabtec, a Fortune 500 company based in the United States, with 27,000 employees in over 50 countries.
Mark gives a background on himself.
He is also in the mining industry to buy, especially in Australia.
One of the things that Wabtec is working on with their customers is helping solve some of these supply chain issues.


The Internet of Trains. 7:51

Iot is a miscellaneous file that includes everything. It's not just about the information, it's everything.
Wabtec has a suite of products that they look to implement immediately, such as installing something on the side of the track, high-speed cameras or sensors.
Successful trial in California, looking at partnership with battery companies to make sure batteries can last in that type of environment.
Monitoring capability, not just having the data, but evaluating that data and learning from the data. The most important thing is providing that information to customers.


How to deploy capital effectively. 13:20

The first conversation they have had about rail and managing those assets, and how they are seeing decent adoption from the people who are using it.
The cyber component to all of this, because as you begin to monitor that asset and put devices out there, those could be vulnerable.
There is too much at stake. Web tech is well positioned to help customers with safety, security and improve the efficiency of the railroad.
The best way to get a hold of Mark is to reach out to him through LinkedIn or to contact him at Wabtec.
