This document discusses GE's LocoVision video analytics system for trains. It analyzes video from cameras on locomotives to provide insights into asset utilization, mission success, and failures. It can monitor car integrity, rail integrity, and optimize trips for efficiency. The system stores synchronized video, audio, and event data. It uses computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning on the Predix cloud platform to analyze the video and provide analytics. This helps improve productivity, capacity, velocity, supply chain visibility, and other metrics across assets, trains, and the entire network.
