zedas®cargo impresses with AI-powered staff scheduling

ZEDAS GmbH was mentioned in the latest issue of the magazine Rail Business (34/25). In the article ‘Saving costs through optimisation and shared use’, the AI-powered staff scheduling in zedas®cargo is presented as an example of how modern software helps railway undertakings to use their resources more efficiently.

The economic efficiency of railway companies depends, among other things, on the optimal use of human resources. However, disposition is complex: shifts must be planned not only according to rest times and absences, but also according to qualifications, route knowledge and locomotive expertise.

This is exactly where ZEDAS GmbH comes in with its latest innovation, which significantly reduces the time required. The magazine Rail Business has featured this solution in its latest issue.

zedas®cargo: staff schedules in minutes instead of days

The article describes the new AI-powered staff scheduling in zedas®cargo, which ZEDAS presented at transport logistic 2025. The solution reduces planning time by up to 90 percent. At the touch of a button, ready-to-use schedules are created that automatically take qualifications, rest times and absences into account.

In addition, the software also optimises so-called guest trips – i.e. the journey from home or hotel to the job site. The result: less overtime, higher productivity and lower costs.

External recognition confirms innovative strength

The mention in Rail Business shows that the digitalisation of personnel dispatching is an important success factor for railway undertakings. With zedas®cargo, ZEDAS offers a practical and future-proof solution that provides comprehensive support for rail operations – from order management and disposition to billing and reporting.
