The Industrial Cloud solution from Mipro has been designed to aggregate high-velocity, high-volume IoT transactions, and analytics, as well as reporting capabilities for ‘Fast IT’ application.
Mipro director services Markus Santanen said: “This contract highlights Mipro’s growing offering in value adding software and service solutions.
“In the long-term our ‘one pattern’ approach gives Mipro’s customers great flexibility to transform static asset monitoring into real-time events and statuses to support new use cases and business needs."
The contract will run for a base performance period of six years and has an option for a two-year extension.
FTA ERTMS development head Aki Härkönen said: “Mipro has a strong track record of over 20 years in delivering ICT-based solutions for Finnish railway infrastructure.
“Software-based services and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) are future trends, which will transform the infrastructure management in coming years."
Last month, Mipro signed a €22.3m contract with the FTA for renewal of signalling systems in eastern Finland at Niirala, Kotolahti-Mussalo in Kotka, and Vainikkala marshalling yards from 2016 to 2018.
