Proactive rail maintenance with real time information

These Nomad solutions and know-how merge Remote Online Condition Monitoring (ROCM), reliability centred maintenance methodology and in-depth railway industry knowledge to support operators to improve parameters such as the cost and quality of the maintenance of their assets.

By adopting such a strategy, it is possible to optimise the rail maintenance management and availability of equipment towards quantifiable improvements in both cost-effectiveness and reliability.

Remote Online Condition Monitoring provides in-depth and real-time information on the performance of crucial equipment and components on-board – partnered with diagnostic alerts – providing fleet operators and owners the intelligence and sufficient time required to take pro-active rail maintenance. Ultimately leading to improved service reliability and availability of the rolling stock. ROCM is also available for other transport methods such as buses.

Nomad Tech was chosen by NSB Norway in December 2013, to deploy a Remote Condition Monitoring solution that would enable the operator to efficiently monitor the condition of its entire fleet as well as reduce rail maintenance costs and increase fleet availability. Nomad Tech was created as a joint venture between Nomad Digital and EMEF, the Portuguese Railways company for rolling stock maintenance.

Hitachi – Remote Online Condition Monitoring – On Board Server

The Solution

An On Board Server (OBS) solution for the Hitachi Super Express fleet for the Intercity Express Programme (IEP).

This OBS provides a single gateway for transmission of all operational data between the train and the trackside. Data transmitted includes train diagnostics from the Train Management System, energy consumption, seat reservation as well as daily timetable information. The OBS uses Nomad’s R3500 router as the communications gateway and harnesses multiple 3G networks & WiFi to provide connectivity.

This solution will be installed in more than 100 trains.

The Results

This is one of the first times that such a tool is developed in close cooperation with the train manufacturer.

With this solution, maintenance & train operations related personnel now have a unified tool to view, analyze and manage train-related information, integrating it with other enterprise-wide software, and as such, improve their day-to-day activities.
