Avantis and IntelaTrac at Innotrans - September 23 -26 - Berlin

 

 Find us in the Schneider Electric Booth - http://www.innotrans.de/en/

 

Avantis is able to offer an open, generic asset management suite that has the potential to link the entire asset base on the railway, delivering a commercial, rather than a bespoke, solution. Railways traditionally use a lot of bespoke systems, particularly where signalling is concerned. Avantis can separate the vital (safety-related) and non-vital elements of assets to allow you to manage the whole railway much more cost-effectively.

 

We will be demo-ing both Avantis and Wonderware IntelaTrac products.

 

Innotrans is the biggest event of its kind in the world. The suppliers bring in trains and coaches and everything. Fabulous if you are a train spotter!
