Event description

Come for a beer at TechTower on Thursday, June 26, and find out how far we’ve come in developing Smart Depo and how we approach modular development of higher-level control.

What you can look forward to:
Smart Depo: Every day closer to autonomy

Over the past two years, we’ve shown you the path from vision to reality. Today, Smart Depo exists—and we are advancing it every day. In this lecture, we will present specific progress in building an ecosystem for the digitization and autonomous control of rail vehicles, including the first projects and news—the main one will even be in Pilsen. But we will not shy away from challenges—how to effectively complete the system in real time, stay within budget, and ensure safety. We will also touch on technical aspects: why we changed the front-end technology and what the new generation of control applications looks like. And for the technical audience, we will offer a discussion on fundamental issues: how to accurately determine location or whether to use AI to detect free passage.

Modular development and dynamic testing: A new approach to train control

We are moving away from traditional greenfield development and transitioning to a modular approach that significantly changes the way we build software for train control and management systems (TCMS). In this presentation, you will learn why we decided to take this path, how we are implementing it technically, and what challenges it entails. A key element is the dynamic construction of test stands, which will allow developers to connect from anywhere with a single click. This approach not only speeds up internal development, but also improves the quality of cooperation with suppliers and opens up space for new business models.
