Trilogical will exhibit and serve as a sponsor at Rail Research Week 2025 – the landmark convergence of the International Heavy Haul Association Conference (IHHA 2025) and the World Congress on Railway Research (WCRR 2025) – taking place November 17–21 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.
Attendees can find Trilogical at Stand #343.
The week’s theme, “Inspiring Innovative and Resilient Railways,” sets the stage for a global exchange of ideas spanning freight and passenger rail.
At Rail Research Week, Trilogical will showcase two flagship platforms – Control FREAK for locomotive and multiple-unit condition monitoring and diagnostics, and RailBlazer telematics for freight and mining rail logistics – both closely aligned with the event’s key industry priorities, including network capacity and operational efficiency, long-haul train operations, safety and derailment prevention, condition monitoring, and detector-based maintenance enhanced by big-data analytics.
Control FREAK: from detection to prediction
Rail operations have long depended on after-the-fact alerts that trigger only when failures occur, leaving teams to respond without the context needed to prevent recurrence. Control FREAK changes that paradigm. The platform continuously collects rich subsystem data – paired with operational context like speed, load, temperature, and location – so engineers can analyse what happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it. With high-quality, continuous data in place, AI-driven anomaly detection and health indicators enable forecasting of failures before they occur, while cross-functional teams (operations, maintenance, engineering) collaborate around a single source of truth.
The result is a systematic shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive reliability: instead of isolated sensor traces at the moment of failure, operators gain a longitudinal view of fleet health that supports top-down investigations and bottom-up sensor analysis – turning every incident into an opportunity to harden systems and reduce lifecycle costs.
RailBlazer: turning freight and mining rail logistics into a competitive advantage
Rail freight operations – whether serving national networks or dedicated mining corridors – depend on efficient, uninterrupted movement of goods. Yet disruptions, limited visibility, and rising costs can undermine performance and throughput. RailBlazer tackles these challenges head-on, combining real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and supply-chain integration to deliver measurable results – such as up to a 20% improvement in overall logistics efficiency, based on industry benchmarks and projected gains from telematics adoption.
RailBlazer drives value across six focus areas: reliability and uptime (condition-based maintenance with predictive analytics), safety and compliance (derailment-risk detection, overload prevention, automated reporting), efficiency and productivity (trip analytics, turnaround optimization, fuel-aware dispatching), asset utilization and visibility (fleet tracking and utilization dashboards), cost reduction (downtime avoidance and energy insights), and integration (API-based connectivity with TMS and ERP systems for coordinated decisions).
“Rail operators tell us they want fewer surprises and more foresight,” said a Trilogical spokesperson. “By unifying continuous data collection with practical analytics, Control FREAK and RailBlazer help teams anticipate issues, optimize resources, and operate with greater resilience – directly in line with the mission of Rail Research Week.”
