Industry · Transport and utilities
We help transport and utilities organisations plan and deliver their digital transformation, with data that informs investment, delivery that gives value early, and solutions built for their networks.
Digital technology is changing how we work, travel and interact with the world around us, and how infrastructure is designed and commissioned. Growth, fast-growing populations and urbanisation will drive demand for new infrastructure for decades.
The industry also faces changing demographics, rising expectations from businesses, service users and the public, and the need to cut carbon emissions and waste. The State Infrastructure Strategy, released by Infrastructure WA in 2022, sets priorities that include using digital technology and data sharing to support infrastructure planning and investment decisions.
Cloud computing and better mobile technology.
Data analytics that predict failures and prevent problems in infrastructure before they arise.
The Internet of Things to manage smart buildings, telematics to track fuel economy, and AR and VR to build right the first time.
Digital enablement driven through the business and its supply chain.
Our consultants support leading transport and utilities organisations as they digitise their industry. These are the services we have delivered with them.
We help infrastructure organisations build a roadmap for a sustainable, measurable, effective and agile digital transformation, then work with their project managers and teams to deliver it, so value arrives early and keeps arriving.
With a WA rail network operator we developed and tested a rail washaway prediction system and an automated heat detection system, which recommend speed restrictions, with wider application across the industry.
Our data roadmap service and implementation support guide you from raw data to insight and analytics, governed so your data stays safe.
We help teams set up or strengthen their DevOps capability, with pipelines that bridge software development and the business, shorten feedback loops and get changes to market faster.
Infrastructure projects need every stakeholder and deliverable aligned at each stage. Our agile project managers get early and ongoing feedback from users and put working solutions in the business's hands as early as possible, and we help technology teams mature their delivery with tools such as Jira and Azure DevOps.
Our consultants have supported transport and utilities organisations, including a rail network operator and an energy market operator, with digital innovation and project delivery.

News and events
On Thursday 6 December 2023, one of our clients - Arc Infrastructure revealed Hiivr Rail - an autonomous rail container wagon, with Deputy Premier Hon. Rita Saffioti. Thanks to the Arc team for involving Interfuze Consulting in the proof of concept stage (and the opportunity to be part of the unveiling). In early 2023, Interfuze was engaged to facilitate the feasibility stage of using autonomous, propelled container wagons to facilitate improved intermodal transport of containers.
