Business Wire
Kansas City Southern (KCS) (NYSE: KSU) and CloudMoyo (CM)
announced today that KCS will expand the deployment of the
CloudMoyo Crew Management (CCM) solution, which is already in place
in Mexico, to its operation in the U.S. The next-generation global
CCM leverages the scale of the Microsoft Azure Cloud platform;
harnesses the power of advanced analytics; and uses artificial
intelligence and machine learning technologies to optimize crew
assignments and reduce dwell time for trains and crew.
“KCS’ vision is to consistently be the fastest-growing,
best-performing, most customer-focused transportation provider in
North America. The planned expansion of the CCM solution from
Mexico to the U.S. supports this growth vision while delivering a
seamless user experience,” said KCS executive vice president and
chief innovation officer Brian D. Hancock.
The cloud-based CCM is anticipated to help KCS efficiently scale
to meet current and future requirements, and bypass lengthy
deployment schedules. It enables KCS crews in the U.S. and Mexico
to work more effectively and securely across geographical
locations, while retaining the flexibility to operate independently
on a regional basis. The global CCM will be integrated with other
enterprise applications.
“KCS is already recognized as an innovative and customer-focused
leader in the rail and transportation industry,” said CloudMoyo
president and chief executive officer Manish Kedia. “The CIO100
award won by KCS in August 2018 for the CCM-Mexico Crew Call
solution was a great validation of the value created through
innovation. We are now thrilled to see the expanding footprint of
our next-generation CCM solution across multiple locations and
countries served by KCS.”
