Craft Specific Mobile Applications

TekTracking CSMA provides AI-enabled Craft-Specific Mobile Applications that capture the field truth and connect it to the enterprise — delivering end-to-end lifecycle visibility from defect discovery to remediation and closure, with seamless integration to EAM systems of record.

By leveraging CSMA, organizations can ensure their mobile applications meet the unique needs of field operations.

CSMA is not a “one-size-fits-all” app. It’s a portfolio of craft applications sharing one platform foundation:

CSMA are purpose-built field applications designed around the responsibilities, inspection logic, and regulatory obligations of each railroad craft. Unlike generic inspection forms or configurable mobile platforms, each CSMA is engineered to match how qualified personnel actually work — while producing defensible records that stand up to audit scrutiny.

With CSMA, every application is tailored to enhance operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Inventory Management System:
Plan capital projects, reserve materials, record material usage

TruRail Ai Data Analytics:
Perform queries on project budgets, variance detection, trend analysis, and hotspot identification

TruRail Ai: Embedded Artificial Intelligence

Integrating CSMA into your workflow can significantly improve data accuracy and inspection effectiveness.

TruRail Ai provides artificial intelligence embedded across all TekTracking CSMA to enhance inspection quality, surface risk earlier, and provide visibility into maintenance activity and cost — while preserving human qualification, accountability, and auditability.

Computer Vision (see CrossingVue 360): assists with detecting visible conditions and standardizing evidence capture.

Inspection Variance Analysis: flags inconsistent results, missing steps, or unusual patterns

Predictive Condition Monitoring: highlights emerging degradation trends based on history and context.

Compliance Rule Enforcement: helps ensure required inspection logic and documentation are complete.

By monitoring the prevalence of common defects in close proximity — across geography, time, and asset class — TekTracking identifies hot spots where clustered issues indicate systemic risk rather than isolated defects.

Utilizing CSMA allows for more streamlined inspections, fostering better asset management.

Inventory Management System

CSMA enhances the inventory process, ensuring better tracking and management of materials.

Real-time material visibility, transaction-level accuracy, and financial-grade control—fully integrated with field execution and enterprise systems. TekTracking IMS transforms inventory from a disconnected back-office function into a real-time, auditable system of record— purpose-built for railroad maintenance, compliance, and cost control.

CSMA Unified Data Model

The CSMA Unified Data Model supports efficient data management across different railroad operations.

All CSMAs share a unified platform data model so railroads can analyze condition, compliance, and execution across the network while preserving craft-level detail.

– Asset condition data
– Inspection records
– Images and annotations
– Personnel qualifications
– Time and location stamps
– Defect lifecycle state

EAM API Integration

Implementing CSMA API Integration allows for seamless communication between systems and improves data flow.

TekTracking is not an EAM system of record. It extends EAM platforms into the field with regulatory-grade execution intelligence.

– Work orders and corrective actions
– Labor hours and personnel identifiers
– Material usage and codes
– Asset history updates and maintenance outcomes

CSMA offer you an easy and scalable EAM integration with

Improve your maintenance lifecycle visibility

CSMA provides the tools necessary to enhance maintenance lifecycle visibility and drive operational success.

From defect discovery to closure - Full maintenance lifecycle visibility

TekTracking CSMA connects inspection findings to action. Every defect is tracked across its lifecycle. This lifecycle view reduces “orphan defects,” shortens time-to-remediation, and creates a complete inspection-to-repair record for compliance and asset integrity.

Discovery

Condition and defect observed and documented in the field

Classification

Defect type, severity, location, evidence & accountability recorded

Response

Interim protections or restrictions captured as applicable

Remediation

Corrective work executed and fully documented

Verification

Field validation performed and results recorded

Closure

Defect closed with full evidence and traceability

Business value: What Railroads achieve with CSMA ?

With CSMA, railroads can achieve significant business value through improved processes and enhanced compliance.

– Stronger compliance posture and audit readiness
– Faster defect remediation through lifecycle visibility
– Earlier risk detection through hotspot intelligence
– Improved inspection consistency across crews and territories
– Better asset condition visibility than EAM systems can provide alone
– Cleaner, more structured data feeding enterprise analytics
