This, in turn, streamlines decision-making and automating engineering operations through digitisation.

The Rail Engineering Information Digital Platform is a Rail Agency-specific application, designed to carry out data governance tasks for Dubai Metro’s data and documents. The platform also generates digital space for the most relevant partners to connect.

A key goal of the platform is to ensure the consistency and accuracy of information while preventing errors that could arise from manual data storage and usage processes.
