SBS Transit partners with IBM to enhance systems with AI

Engineers and technicians will be able to anticipate and resolve potential faults.

SBS Transit has collaborated with American technology company IBM to enhance its asset management systems with generative artificial intelligence technology for rail operations and maintenance projects.

SBS Transit will use IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) and integrate it with its own assets. It will bring together intelligent asset management, real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and reliability planning functions on a single platform.

The company plans to use Maximo Application Suite capabilities such as Manage, and work order intelligence which are powered by watsonx.

Through this, SBS Transit’s engineers and technicians will be able to anticipate and resolve potential faults and enhance operational efficiency which reduces downtime. They can also quickly assign the appropriate staff with the correct tools to address the issue.

“We also look forward to extending this solution to rail projects overseas that are under our parent company, ComfortDelGro," Jeffrey Sim, group CEO of SBS Transit, said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
