MorePutting one's eye toward rail-specific processes, the controversial question is often which system should be used by transport companies to digitalize these processes.
MoreIn rail transport, the topic of safety is extremely wide-ranging and complex - this is primarily because the protection of life and limb, of passengers, residents and people involved in rail operations, as well as of resources such as vehicles and infrastructures, is paramount.
MoreThe shortage of skilled workers has been a serious challenge for rail vehicle workshops for years. Workshops have the ambition to achieve the highest possible utilisation of capacity and at the same time ensure the highest possible level of quality in the work carried out on the rail vehicle. However, the lack of well-trained skilled workers makes it difficult to implement the ECM2 process specifications.
MoreThe availability of skilled workers is a basic prerequisite for sustainable economic growth. However, skilled workers are very hard to find these days, as every industry is desperate for qualified specialists, including companies in the rail industry.
MoreManaging knowledge is the supreme discipline of modern corporate management. Especially in times where there is a noticeable shortage of skilled workers, it is of immense importance to anchor knowledge in the company. Digitalization can create transparency and make information, knowledge and skills available so that they can be shared and acquired by employees.
MoreThe new ECM Regulation (ECM (EU) 2019/779) came into force in June 2020. In the course of this, companies were offered a transition period, which now ends on June 16, 2022. More than 700 companies have already been certified since then, or have renewed or changed their certification.
MoreThe new, modern locomotive workshop LOCMASTA in Gramatneusiedl received the ECM certificate for the maintenance delivery function ECM 4 on April 8, 2022 and is now about to be officially commissioned. In the interview, they revealed what challenges a "newcomer" has to face in the ECM certification process and how they master them through digitalization.
MoreInnofreight Solutions GmbH develops customized, innovative wagons, containers, and unloading systems for rail transport companies. Around 2,000 InnoWagons and more than 15,000 containers are in use throughout Europe. Some of these are sold to customers, others are leased. However, compliance with the ECM regulation must be guaranteed in both cases.
MoreLive data from wheelset operation significantly helps in choosing the right maintenance strategy and in demand planning.
MoreWheelsets are exposed to high loads during operation. The requirements for maintenance are correspondingly high. Predictive wheelset management can both ensure availability and reduce life cycle costs.
MoreWhether planned maintenance activities or spontaneous faults - workshops for the maintenance of rail vehicles must be perfectly organized in order to be able to act quickly without compromising quality, even when the order situation is high. Rail Workshop is a complete software solution for workshop operators that also provides essential support in complying with the ECM 4 regulations.
MoreDuring cross-border journeys of a rail vehicle, a workshop visit to an independent workshop may be necessary in case of technical problems. BOOM's software solutions enable a fast and uncomplicated exchange of information between the asset manager and the external workshop.
MoreModern maintenance must provide employees with status information about the vehicle, maintenance recommendations and forecasts. This is the only way to work as efficiently and competitively as possible.
MoreSensors enable the collection of a wide range of data to provide real-time information on the condition of rail vehicles.
MoreDipl. Ing. Zengerer is the managing director of the Styrian mobility cluster ACstyria. We asked her how she sees the development of the mobility sector under the influence of digitalization.
MoreLean Smart Maintenance not only increases the efficiency, reliability and availability of vehicles and workshops. It also clearly represents a business and strategic advantage for RUs!
MoreThe rising demand, increasing expectations, and increased competitive pressure on the market are also being perceived by workshops, which makes the pressure on them to perform even greater. For them, it is essential to keep the downtime from shunting to recommissioning as short as possible.
More2021 stands under the theme "Making efficiency of rolling stock programmable".
MoreEvery day, 2,732 trains are operated by DB Cargo to provide an appropriate range of rail cargo services. To ensure the smooth transport of goods, processes need to run at the optimum level.
MoreIf the standard software solutions offered on the market do not fit the business model or the business processes of the company, the use of an individual software solution is inevitable.
MoreIn order to ensure safety in railroad operations, events concerning the rail vehicle have to be documented and analyzed continuously. This obligation also entails a great deal of documentation effort.
MoreEven today, the railroad is one of the safest and most modern modes of transport in Europe. Data-driven software models and digitization initiatives provide extensive new potential for guaranteeing and increasing safety in rail transport technology.
