Strukton Rail Case Study
Willow worked with Strukton Rail to develop the world’s first Digital Twin platform for rail, WillowTwin™ for Rail. Further to their partnership in the development of the solution, Strukton Rail became WillowTwin™ for Rail’s pilot customer, rolling the platform out across the Province Utrecht contract. Today, WillowTwin™ for Rail is empowering Strukton Rail with complete oversight of their network assets, allowing them to move from reactive maintenance to a preventative and predictive approach; ultimately driving network availability towards 99.9+%. Strukton Rail is now looking to implement WillowTwin™ across their entire European operations.

The WillowTwin™ for Rail solution has proven to be reliable and robust. All communication is now done electronically, no phone calls needed. During the whole process we can constantly follow what the mechanic is doing, we can support the mechanic and inform the customer with the right information like ETA and ETR. The goal is to improve our performance and efficiency within the contract. We are aware that this is just the start; there are a lot of functionalities that need to be developed and implemented. We are proud to be the first team worldwide using this solution and to be a reference for future customers of WillowTwin™ for Rail.
