HMAX delivers improvements in service reliability and availability of trains and the wider rail infrastructure.

Outcomes include:

1. Reliability improvements reflected by up to 20% reduction in service delays HMAX can reduce service delays by improving reliability through e.g. reducing No Fault Found (NFF) incidents.

2. Up to 15% reduction in train maintenance costs and broader maintenance costs reduced: for example, corrective maintenance driven by Automatic Work Orders,  can reduce corrective maintenance costs by approximately and conservatively 10% by decreasing NFF occurrences.

3. Up to 30% reduction in overhauls and lifecycle of critical assets including bogies, pantographs, door cylinders, doors, GU, Couplers, etc.

4. Energy consumption reduced with up to 40% reduction in idling fuel costs at depot.

- Extended lifecycles with optimized maintenance plans

- Flexible, scalable systems  to meet the today's challenges and preparing for the future

- Smooth integration to simplify system upgrades and minimizing disruption

- Maximized performance which will reduce system downtime and driving cost efficiency at every level

- Harness legacy systems seamless integration means HMAX works with customers’ existing systems

- NVIDA collaboration for hardware efficiency, optimisation, increased speed and capacity for data processing

- Hitachi Rail’s strategic collaboration with NVIDIA means digital services will be powered by NVIDIA IGX™ industrial-grade, edge AI platform, providing powerful edge AI computing on its train and asset

HMAX seamlessly integrates with our customers’ existing Operation & Maintenance (O&M) systems and solutions.

HMAX will help our customers to drive the next phase of evolution in Operations & Maintenance – bringing all data together from the field to your Operations Control Centre.

By leveraging AI, we can enhance all operational and maintenance aspects using data from core systems – or collected through monitoring systems and sensors which can be fully integrated into our HMAX architecture.

This integration allows for optimized maintenance planning and supports operational decisions by predicting the status of all assets across the rail ecosystem including trains, signalling assets and infrastructure.

HMAX is modular, scalable, and integrable with Hitachi’s i-OCC (ICSS). All modules of HMAX can function independently or be fully integrated into a turnkey O&M mainline rail or metro system throughout its entire lifecycle.
