The RailDOCS Configuration Management System (CMS) was developed in response to an FRA mandate promoting the safe operations of processor-based signal and control systems. CMS stores manufacturer configurations and guidelines for every component of signal and communication devices, as well as instructions on how these components work together. The system is automatically updated each time a manufacturer updates or enhances a product. Using CMS allows you to enforce standards across your entire operation and know you are protected down to a single chassis in a specific location.

Because modern railroad systems depend on vital electronics for their safe operation and in turn, those electronics depend on software to perform their intended functions, the proper management of these software assets is paramount to operating a safe signaling system. That is why RailDOCS offers a Software Management System (SMS) to ensure that each software program used in the electronics of your signaling systems is functioning completely and accurately. The RailDOCS SMS performs dozens of automated validations to ensure the highest quality software inventory and sustain safe rail operations. And because RailDOCS SMS is tightly integrated with the Configuration Management System, for any piece of equipment under RailDOCS’s configuration control, the related software programs are just a click away.

The RailDOCS Configuration Management System is also tightly integrated with the Test & Inspection system, and can also be utilized remotely from the field.
