rmewa Group has selected Amsted Digital Solutions’ end-
to-end platform as its telematics platform for the bulk rail
fi rm’s digitalisation strategy. Ermewa has over 40,000 assets
in its wagon fl eet.
The Amsted telematics solution provides a comprehensive, end-to-
end fl eet visibility and advanced optimisation software that will
improve customers overall rail shipment experience and assist in
optimising traffi c fl ows and wagon utilisation.
In parallel, the platform will provide Ermewa with advanced digital
analytics that will improve repair depot cycle times and implement a
condition-based maintenance programme leveraging Amsted Digital’s
on-board gateways and wireless sensor intelligence. These insights
combined with Amsted Rail’s over 100 years of freight railway
component and bogie experience as a leading global manufacturer of
bogie systems, will deliver real value, says Amsted. The initial
deployment volume of 20,000 Amsted telematics systems is already
underway.
A key benefi t of Amsted’s platform is its proprietary supply chain
visibility (SCV) software. Developed around ITSS standards, customers
will be able to leverage the SCV software which includes features
such as cycle and route analysis, predictive estimated time of arrival
metrics, and the WeatherVue application, which provides customers
with insights to rail assets that may be impacted by various weather-
related events or disruptions.
John Felty, Amsted’s managing director commented: “We are
excited to be working closely with a leading company like Ermewa to

lemica has received the 2018 Frost & Sullivan Award for
Best Practices in Product Leadership for its Digital Supply
Network in the Process Industries.
Frost & Sullivan’s global team of analysts and consultants
continuously research a wide range of markets across multiple
sectors and geographies. As part of this ongoing research, the fi rm
identifi es companies that maintain consistently high standards for
product or service quality and innovation, allowing them to form
deep relationships with their customers. This involves extensive
primary and secondary research across the entire value chain of
specifi c products.
“Elemica is pleased to be recognised as the Product Leader in the
Digital Supply Network for Process Industries by Frost & Sullivan,”
said David Cahn, Elemica’s global marketing director. “This award is
a tribute to the many individuals across our company and all of our
client organisations, that each make daily choices in selecting to use
our innovative solutions.”
According to the report, Elemica renders unmatched customer
value to its clients and thousands of network participants, thereby
setting a high standard in the digital supply network for process
industries. The company has secured a competitive edge by covering
both procure-to-pay as well as order-to-cash and logistics processes
throughout the supply chain.
“To win product leadership is never an easy task, and it is one
made even more diffi cult considering today’s competitive intensity,
customer volatility, and economic uncertainty. Not to mention the
diffi culty of innovating in an environment of escalating challenges to
intellectual property,” said David Frigstad, chairman of Frost &
Sullivan. “Within this context, Elemica’s selection as recipient of this
Award signifi es an even greater accomplishment.”
