zedas®asset: One system for all parties involved in the process

 

zedas®asset is the standard solution for the asset, fleet and maintenance management of rail vehicles. The EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) integrates all actors into one system and digitally maps all typical maintenance processes: planning (material, personnel, equipment), performance, management and controlling.

Manage the daily challenges in maintenance:

  • How do I detect weak points of the vehicles at an early stage?
  • How can I minimize downtimes and technically related shutdowns?
  • How do I make operating data or mobile diagnostic data available to maintenance planning?
  • How do I determine the right maintenance strategies?
  • How do I plan and optimise my workshop processes?
  • How do I develop a long-term investment plan?
  • How do I determine LCC and RAMS key figures?
  • How do I document compliance with safety regulations?
  • How do I ensure a continuous flow of information from the manufacturer to the maintenance engineer?

Digital operating log

Handwritten and electronic lists or lack of shift handovers belong to the past. Thanks to the zedas®asset Operations Log, you keep track of daily operations, chronologically and without gaps. Text modules facilitate the comprehensive documentation of events. All information about operations is available to authorized employees promptly, without errors and without loss of information.

 

Functions especially for rail vehicle leasing

The zedas®asset Contract Management is an end-to-end solution for handling the leasing business of rail vehicles (locomotives, wagons, traction units for local passenger rail transport) and the associated maintenance measures: Create and manage rental contracts, validate available rental items, automatic billing and daily updated reports. The system automatically generates credit notes on the basis of downtime regulations.

 

 

Maintenance 4.0 with Advanced Analytics

Organise with zedas®asset not only corrective and preventive (condition and / or time-based) maintenance activities but also predictive maintenance. Using innovative technologies such as IoT, AI and machine learning as well as multivariate diagnostic methods, we turn big data into smart data.

 

Make full use of the service life of wheelsets by forecasting their wear on the basis of regularly acquired measurement data. The comparison of forecast and actual data continuously and independently refines the prediction. The optimum time for measurement, reprofiling or wheelset replacement can be determined well in advance. The zedas®asset Wheelset Analyser keeps an eye on all deadlines, automatically notifies those responsible of impending limit violations, monitors stock levels and makes order suggestions. The smart assistant also considers the often long delivery times.

Through the intelligent linking of data, zedas®asset Staff+ not only enables analyses, but also forecasts for personnel planning. The advanced data analysis determines the medium to long-term personnel requirements, among other things using company-specific data from maintenance planning. Order peaks can be identified and rescheduled at an early stage. Idle times or personnel bottlenecks are avoided. The workshop is optimally utilized.

The zedas®asset Invest Manager links the data collected in day-to-day business and enables the user to create planning variants based on different scenarios. The system can automatically determine medium to long-term investment requirements (up to 30 years). With flexible variables, each scenario can be calculated. Comparative observations between the scenarios enable well-founded budget and investment decisions.

Augmented reality for intelligent maintenance

With the augmented reality (AR) application, the maintenance technician in the workshop is guided step by step through the maintenance process. Clearly defined workflows specify the exact sequence and positions at which the work steps are to be carried out. The AR application also displays the measured values, limit values or circuit diagrams associated with the component being worked on. The workshop employee receives further support in the maintenance process through drawings, documents, photos and videos that are displayed in the context of the maintenance task. The digital assistance system also guarantees that the maintenance technician is specifically pointed to safety-relevant components in order to meet the high safety standards that apply in the railway industry. The AR application helps to increase the reliability of service and maintenance processes and reduce the risk of errors.

 

Benefits:

  • Clearly defined workflows
  • Component-related safety instructions
  • Additional information at the right time on the right component
  • Intelligent knowledge management
  • Automated ECM-compliant documentation

Unique synergies in the rail industry

Lean processes through the combination of zedas®asset and zedas®cargo

 

ZEDAS provides the leading product suite for the seamless connection of logistics management of rail freight transport (zedas®cargo) with fleet and maintenance management (zedas®asset). The automated information flow significantly reduces the need for coordination between the areas.

Data on the individual rail vehicles obtained during the operating process is available for maintenance planning. The condition and load data as well as recorded damage and fault reports enable reliable, load-dependent maintenance planning. Based on the comprehensive database, zedas®asset creates condition forecasts for the vehicles, which in turn form the basis for well-founded investment decisions.

The daily business of railway operations benefits from the increased availability and reliability of the vehicles. Railway production has access at all times to current information on the decommissioning / recommissioning of vehicles and on residual running values for deadlines. Transport tasks can be planned much more efficiently. Operations are less frequently impeded by waiting times or technically related disruptions.
