Connected buildings: Equipment monitoring

Monitoring and maintenance of connected station infrastructure equipment such as lighting and escalators

SNCF Gares & Connexions – the operator of France’s railway infrastructure, including stations – has called upon the Kuzzle IoT Open-Source IoT to support its plan for the remote monitoring and management of the Aix-en-Provence TGV station.

By implementing remote sensors, the Open-Source IoT platform Kuzzle IoT ensures that information and alerts are received in real time the technical teams can intervene as soon as a malfunction is identified.
SNCF thus optimises its energy expenditure and can carry out preventative maintenance more efficiently, thus increasing passenger comfort.

“For SNCF Gares et Connexions, the first challenge is to be aware of the state of its infrastructure and whether it is functioning properly. Secondly, it is a question of ‘understanding the situations in which this equipment starts to malfunction”

Results ans projections

Real-time visualization of data via a mobile/web application developed with Kuzzle IoT along with the latest generation of analytical tools allow the station’s technical staff and maintenance teams to ensure precise monitoring and management of equipment, improving responsiveness and reducing energy costs.
In the future, connected infrastructure, combined with intelligent analysis systems, will be able to act autonomously to optimise energy consumption and resource use to prevent failures and trigger preventive maintenance.

SNCF Gares & Connexions aims to transform stations into places of daily life in their own right.
Through its missions of operating, developing, and transforming stations, as well as creating services and shops, SNCF Gares & Connexions opens up stations to the cities they serve and contributes to local economic development.
