General Meeting EFRTC Berlin

Introduction1

2 Vision on Asset management in the supply chain

3 CBM in the Netherlands

4 Methodes

Agenda

• Maintenance contractor– Rail infrastructure: ProRail, Lightrail (o.a. RandstadRail, SUNIJ) and industry (o.a.

Corus)– Dry and wet infrastructuur for RWS (Onderhoud tunnels en Sluizen NoordHolland

en IJsselmeer en Zeeland)

• Project contractor– All types of Rail infrastructure

• Service provider for engineering and consultancy

Condition Based Maintenance (o.a. ProRail, Schiphol, HTM)

• Organisation– 2700 employees– In UK, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Estonia, Finland and Sweden

Importance Monitoring and Condition Based Maintenance

• Higher requirements - proactive/preventive approach• Most effective Maintenance strategy

– Only executing Maintenance where and when needed

• Obligatory inspections by law• Basis of Life Cycle considerations and investment plans• Pillar in Reporting Performance contracts

Requires absolute transparency en data sharing

• Differences of judgments and registration • Labor-intensive data transmission /analyses• Managing of workflow and reporting • Availability of management information, historic and current• Manage gigantic amounts of data• Requires viewing-, analyzing- and reporting tools • Costs for tools are considerable and it requires specialists• Requires specialist know how in combination with

maintenance processes

Difficulties Condition Based Maintenance

• Process – Measure ring and data storage– Analyze en predict– Planning and reporting– Evaluation (ao thresholds)

• Systems and technology– EAM-systems– Monitoring and measurement tools– Platform data storage and analyzing

• Organization– Monitoring specialist– Analyst – Technology centre and partners

To support inspection and Condition Based

Maintenance we developed generic applicable

platforms

Mobile Inspection platform (FlexInspect)

• Standardized data, everywhere accessible

• All inspections and all assets• Readily adaptable, fast results• Integrated storage of all photographs• Barcode & GPS (0-1 m) • Easy to integrate with other systems• More transparency• 25 % - 50 % cost reduction

Monitoring platform (AOC)• AOC stands for Asset Observation Center

• “Real-time” observation of assets for:• Early detection of failures => increase of availability• More insight in performance en degradation => better

maintainability

• Easily combines different infrastructures, installations and systems on several sites

• Web-based customer portal with custom-made data presentation

• Alarms can be generated by relays, e-mail, SMS or directly send to a PAC

• Cost-effective and flexible due to modularity

Benefits

• Data & information accurate, reliable and reproducible

• Insight in status/quality and deterioration of switches

• Contributes in safety of switches

• Maintenance more predictable and effective

• Better grounds for LCM decisions

• Increases Availability

• Reduces maintenance costs

• VolkerRail: from a project only contractor to a full service contractor

• Observations:– Much more in depth know how of track systems– Threatening to clients if not good managed– Grow market in Europe– Large investments vs satisfying financial results
