In a bid to improve efficiency, Kansas City Southern KSUhas partnered with CloudMoyo to enhance its railroad operating system. The CloudMoyo Rail Transportation Management (CRTM) system will be roped in for the task.
The CRTM built on CloudMoyo Transportation platform, is a next-generation system leveraging the scale of the Microsoft Azure cloud.
The railroad operator will deploy the CRTM technology in phases spanning up to three years. Also, each CRTM application will be tried and tested before being put to use. The company currently utilizes CloudMoyo’s Crew Management, Business Intelligence and Advanced Analytics.
The modernization efforts support Kansas City Southern’s objective of emerging as the most efficient and customer-oriented transportation provider in North America. The company aims to improve its operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of revenues) in the current-year.
The CRTM system is expected to enable Kansas City Southern to effectively meet current and future requirements plus get rid of lengthy deployment schedules as well as costly infrastructure investment.
