The mPOM (Mobile Positioning of Maintenance Work) system by ANavS is a mobile positioning solution for track maintenance machinery that automatically recognises, locates and logs work assignments for digital processing in railway IT landscapes.

mPOM replaces manual recording of work assignments and media disruptions by automatically detecting machine activities and their positions, reducing sources of error and enabling digital processing of work performance records.

mPOM builds on ANavS’s multi-sensor positioning (e.g., GNSS/INS fusion) and integrates with existing machine systems to deliver track-accurate localisation and automatic detection of maintenance activity for further processing.

Yes. As part of projects such as the “X-in-a-Box” for Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), mPOM is designed for integration into existing railway IT landscapes to feed consistently recorded work performance data into backend systems.

Mobile positioning systems like mPOM enable automated digital logging of maintenance work, provide consistent and track-accurate location data, and support digital transformation and predictive maintenance strategies in rail operations.

By capturing consistent and digital position and activity records from maintenance machines, mPOM enables objective evaluation of workmanship and performance quality across suppliers, based on reliable geolocated data.

Unlike traditional manual and paper-based reporting, mPOM offers automatic, location-based, digital documentation and integration into backend systems, improving accuracy and efficiency for railway maintenance workflows.

mPOM (Mobile Positioning of Maintenance Work) is a mobile positioning and documentation system for track maintenance machines that automatically recognises work assignments, captures their geolocation and makes the data available for processing in railway IT systems. It should be used when accurate, automated and digital recording of maintenance work on rail infrastructure is needed.
