Technical asset management for rail networks
Prerequisites for economic rail infrastructure maintenance are clear cost targets as well as agreements on quality and regular checking of such agreements. It is only then that it truly becomes a target-oriented system management. Finding the right target, agreeing on it and then checking it requires measurability, accessibility and the ability to check these targets. Clarity is a long-term added value here.
Since 1994, PC-Soft has been active both as consultant and system designer in this field. Our specialized zedas®asset software solution for rail infrastructure integrates the following central functions:
- control and planning of maintenance measures
- a rail map graphic for properties and conditions
- management of measured values
- warranty management
The maintenance of the rail infrastructure is characterised by very special and complex requirements. Thanks to our many years of experience, we know what these specific requirements for track and rail are and have incorporated them into our system: - exactly metered management of extensive, heterogeneous rail networks
- maintenance of a history of the various segments for constructions, warranties, loads, conditions, etc.
- display of the rail network graphic with representation of the conditions, loads, damage categories, etc.
- gathering together of operational parameters (track overrun, tonnage)
- acceptance of inspection data from service partners
During development, particular attention was paid to the necessity of incorporating service partners and to the integration of measured data.
Commercial benefits - reduction of maintenance costs due to targeted use of means
- tracking of warranty times and warranty claims
- instantly accessible basis upon which to make a decision and cost transparency
Benefits for technical management - support in investment planning
- increase in operational reliability
- improvement in general reliability
- fast detection of weaknesses
- support with documentation / verification management
Benefits for the maintenance engineer - faster overview of the overall condition of railway infrastructure
- a clear basis for planning and a structured job order management
- clear reduction in amount of data kept in paper form
- maintenance history of all objects within the infrastructure
Core elements of the zedas®asset solution support the IDM standard of the VDV. Current and detailed information, such as: - examples of usage and publications as well as
