100% availability:
When maintainance integrates with timetables
More efficient maintenance, prevention of unplanned downtime, fewer unnecessary transfers to the depot, and no needless parts swapping – the digital depot makes it happen.
Maintenance redefined
No more unnecessary depot stops. Trains are constantly monitored during operation, in this way providing the data required to define and plan required condition-based and predictive maintenance measures. At our Rail Service Centers, maintenance planning and execution are optimized according to lean principles for shortest throughput times and the sustainable use of resources. Spare parts are made available by either high-speed delivery or 3D printing. This integrated approach reduces maintenance costs by 20-50% and ensures system availability rates of up to 100%.

Reduction of needless depot stops
Real-time data collected from the train in operation enables enable precise maintenance planning and significantly reduces the number of depot stops "on suspicion".

Possible reduction of maintenance costs
Data-based, predictive maintenance avoids unnecessary work and premature parts replacement.

Availability
Enabling the consistent prevention of unplanned downtime and maintenance that integrates smoothly with timetables, the digital depot ensures availability rates of up to 100%.
The power of data unleashed
The digital depot pays off: Maintenance and servicing costs are sustainably lower. Operators can optimally plan the deployment of their vehicle fleet with reliable condition data. The utilization rate of the individual trains is noticeably increased, and the availability of the entire system reaches its optimum. Data collected from the track and the train in operation are analyzed with the help of Railigent® and forwarded to the digital depot for optimal advance planning. In this way material procurement, resources, and work processes can be optimally coordinated in the depot while the train is still in operation for weeks. The result: maintenance in minimum time, which translates into sustainably lower costs and availability rates of up to 100%.
Lean, smart, aligned maintenance processes
In the digital depot and beyond, numerous processes linked by Railigent are seamlessly interlocked. The data-based operating principle ensures fast, resource-efficient, consistently optimized processes and contributes to the highest possible system availability.
