Akiem.
The breakdown you saw coming.
How a pan-European locomotive lessor turned live fleet telemetry into anticipation — every locomotive, in real time, on the CASC platform.
One of Europe's largest fleets. Dozens of disconnected systems.
Akiem manages one of Europe's largest locomotive fleets. Coordination meant stitching together onboard telemetry from several sensor providers, the ERP for contracts and billing, fleet master data, and public geographic data — each in its own silo. Maintenance was reactive: a component degraded, someone noticed eventually, a grounding was scheduled — often too late. Unplanned groundings meant contractual penalties and cascading schedule disruptions.
What the system handles.
Live locomotive telemetry
Onboard sensors stream position, battery, fuel, engine hours and RPM, pantograph state and wheelset condition from every locomotive in the fleet — continuous and real-time.
One operating layer
Telemetry, fleet master data, contracts and the ERP converge into a single real-time view. No more reconciling siloed tools to know where a locomotive is or what it needs.
Anticipated maintenance
Engine-hour and battery-degradation thresholds, plus wheelset anomaly detection, surface wear before it becomes failure. Maintenance lands in planned windows — not forced by a breakdown.
Geofencing & cross-border compliance
Country crossings, depot and POI proximity, and pantograph compatibility per national network are detected automatically — with bilingual alerts to pan-European teams.
How CASC is wired.
Edge telemetry, enterprise systems, and public data flow into one platform — through signals, into knowledge, back out as decisions. One operating layer, every flow traced.
