MODULOPI is a French data factory dedicated to infrastructure data. Founded in 2010 in Dijon, the company turns the technical documentation of a network (drawings, as-built files, maintenance records, field surveys) into structured, usable data: every object of the infrastructure identified, located according to the client’s own reference system (line, track and kilometre point for a national railway), characterised by its attributes, and linked to the objects around it. For fifteen years MODULOPI produced this data for SNCF Réseau, the French national railway infrastructure manager, across signalling, catenary, track, power supply, telecoms and civil works. That track record on one of the most complex and most regulated networks in Europe shaped a method that transfers to any infrastructure manager: heavy rail, metro and tramway, and non-rail networks such as telecoms, energy or motorways.

The pain point is the same everywhere. The information exists in your documents, but not in your systems. Asset registers stay incomplete, maintenance decisions rely on a handful of experts, and every GIS, BIM or digital-twin project starts by re-keying what was already on paper. MODULOPI addresses this with a five-step approach: structure the data (business ontology and reference models), produce it (field acquisition, industrial processing, quality control), enrich it, govern it over its lifecycle, and make it available through the right tools. SAM, the MODULOPI application suite, industrialises this chain end to end. Its knowledge base describes the objects of a network, how they appear on source documents and the relationships between them; its automation engine then recognises these objects and rebuilds their relationships at scale. Business rules are written once and applied across the whole network. The resulting data feeds asset registers, GIS, BIM models and digital twins, and is exposed through APIs and dashboards. MODULOPI does not produce 3D models or LIDAR surveys: it produces the data those tools consume. Compared with manual data entry, this industrial approach costs three to five times less and delivers data that is consistent, traceable and maintainable. MODULOPI works in three modes: consulting, project delivery on a defined scope, or Data as a Service through SAM. In every case the same team combines data engineering with hands-on railway expertise and speaks the technical language of the people who maintain the network. At InnoTrans 2026, MODULOPI is looking for infrastructure managers, engineering firms and digital-twin vendors who want reliable asset data without adding another layer of tools. Frugality is our 2026 keyword: fewer tools, fewer intermediaries, just the data you need.

Digital frugality is MODULOPI’s guiding principle: fewer tools, fewer intermediaries, and only the data a network needs, produced once and maintained rather than re-keyed. Structured infrastructure data extends the life of existing assets by supporting maintenance decisions with reliable information. MODULOPI runs a corporate social responsibility approach based on ISO 26000.
