Proactive rail maintenance with real time information

Nomad Digital’s rail maintenance solutions combine remote condition monitoring (RCM), a reliability-centred maintenance methodology, and in-depth rail industry knowledge to help operators 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.

RCM is a rail maintenance solution that enables operators to efficiently monitor the condition of their entire fleet, reduce rail maintenance costs, and increase fleet availability.

RCM provides in-depth and real-time information on the performance of crucial equipment and components on-board, partnered with diagnostic alerts. This provides fleet operators and owners the intelligence and sufficient time required to take proactive rail maintenance, which ultimately leads to improved service reliability and availability of the rolling stock.

These remote conditioning monitoring solutions are deeply integrated with our insight solutions, including our innovative real-time reporting, intelligent fleet management software, and passenger counting systems, offering operators immediate access to actionable data.

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.
