BNSF Railway approached us with a task of creating tailor made software application for

making their business more efficient.

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?

19.12.2011

Automated Track Chart Generation

Page 5: Ententee Case Study on BNSF Railway

Track charts were manually drawn in CAD software which was completely inefficient but also kept the drawings out-of-date and

full of errors.

SOLUTION

Page 7: Ententee Case Study on BNSF Railway

We have developed an application that collects data from discrepant relation and GIS data sources, verifies the correctness of the data and generates the CAD documentation automatically.

Technology: .NET, XML/XSL, CAD Rendering, AI algorithms, DB2
