Athenta Technologies, one of the leading intelligent platform providers specialising in Integrated Infrastructure Management business, has released its Next-Generation TRANSDAQ monitoring and control system that can enable deep-dive integration into the urban transport systems and subsystems from a unified console.

TRANSDAQ is a Manager of Managers (MOM), a system that can integrate with the transport and metro rail systems, thereby saving the cost of EMSs and NMSs for all the subsystems for any rail project and helping in building a unified and security envelope over all the physically accessible locations in a rail project.

TRANSDAQ maximises the efficiency in operations and maintenance to optimise costs and delivering high uptime for metro systems and customer service. The system is highly robust and scalable, with the capability of working in a distributed environment where a cluster of Athenta appliances will work in a multilayered architecture, assuring availability, reliability, sustainability, and efficiency for metro rail infrastructure management.

Athenta’s management appliance enables metro administration to integrate its complete infrastructure to deliver tangible business outcomes. This system facilitates effective communication between the disparate subsystems and devices for proactively alerting the operations staff on any performance degradations or changes in operational status. This, in turn, helps in instantly updating the cause of the deterioration, so that the equipment or systems could be changed or repaired or put in maintenance.

Gopal Joshi, Director Sales, Athenta Technologies said, “Athenta TRANSDAQ solution is designed to meet the changing demands of the metro rails, and enabling the collection, processing, analysis, and reporting of critical data in an actionable format with life-cycle information on assets and resources. TRANSDAQ is an application-based product that performs infrastructure management for the metro rail and it has now become the preferred telecom-SCADA Platform for metro rails in India.”
