For more than 170 years, Siemens has placed innovation and creativity at the core of its company culture. With the eHighway solution, Siemens is transforming road freight transportation through fully electric trucks powered by overhead contact lines—delivering a safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable mobility solution.
Siemens and Prodware use Microsoft HoloLens and Dynamics 365 to transform eHighway commissioning. Mixed reality gives technicians real-time access to digital models, safety guidance and remote collaboration tools, improving maintenance quality, documentation accuracy and operational efficiency.
Before the first operation of the eHighway, technicians must ensure the pantograph works flawlessly while managing complex safety procedures and technical documentation. Traditional commissioning methods limit collaboration between on-site engineers and headquarters, slow down issue tracking and make documentation processes time-consuming and prone to manual errors. Serial numbers are entered manually.
Using Microsoft HoloLens, Siemens and Prodware created a mixed reality solution connected to Dynamics 365. Technicians can access digital models, safety videos and service instructions directly in the field while sharing real-time data with remote experts. Audio comments and future OCR integration simplify documentation, improve collaboration and help continuously optimize maintenance processes.
