World's Longest High-speed Rail Line Operates on ArchestrA System Platform

In China, more than 220 railway stations across 15 high-speed rail lines are controlled by Invensys software. When the China Ministry of Railways' nation-wide system is completed in 2020, more than 800 stations will be running on Invensys technology solutions throughout a 12,000-kilometer (7,500-mile) rail network.

Combining Transportation and Facilities Management elements on a large scale, this story includes the following successful results:

• The Wonderware System Platform and Wonderware InTouch HMI solution allows the integration of 60 different third-party vendors into each station's Passenger Information System
• New stations can be deployed as needed and configured in as little as one day
• Operational costs have been lowered because personnel can be reduced or allocated more effectively
• Better visibility to the entire system has led to decreased maintenance costs
