Streamline Your Train Operations & Maintenance
Ensuring that trains are available and operational throughout their service lives is essential for providing economical, successful rail transportation. The innovative solutions on display in the “Operations & Maintenance” exhibition area at InnoTrans 2024 (Main Hall 1.2, Booth 250) will show just how Knorr Bremse RailServices helps customers to sustain dependable rail mobility. Knorr Bremse will present attractive service models for improving vehicle availability, extending vehicle lifecycles and making service, maintenance and repair processes both efficient and economical.
Mario Beinert, Member of the Management Board of Knorr-Bremse Rail Vehicle Systems: “Knorr-Bremse RailServices aims to be a reliable business and service partner to customers over the long term. To achieve this, we support vehicle manufacturers and operators by providing innovative solutions that improve the availability of rail vehicles, extend their operating lives and optimize all related processes – as part of building a reliable, economical and sustainable mobility ecosystem.” Customized services for improving vehicle availability
Knorr-Bremse RailServices acts as an independent full-service provider at the component and subsystem level, helping customers to achieve high standards of rail vehicle availability throughout their fleet lifecycles. RailServices focuses its offerings on customer needs in four action areas in particular: solutions for enhancing train availability (Availability Solutions), extending operating lives by means of upgrades and modernization (Lifetime Expansion), optimizing processes (Process Optimization) and improving environmental compatibility (Environmental Improvements). The “Operations & Maintenance” innovation area at InnoTrans 2024 will specifically focus on availability solutions, lifetime extension and process optimization.
Operators are particularly interested in products that increase rail vehicle availability, because (technical) requirements may change multiple times over a rail vehicle’s service life – which could span decades. Operators must react fast and flexibly to ensure that their fleets are in the highest possible state of operational readiness at all times. Options for further enhancing component maintenance, as well as modernizing and overhauling mission-critical components, play a crucial role here.
Two exhibits will demonstrate the potential of resource-efficient component refurbishment: a brake caliper before and after reconditioning, and an electronic assembly in its old and overhauled state. Efficient operations based on extended service lives and optimized processes From thoughtfully designed product upgrades and the integration of new functions to the modernization of subsystems throughout the vehicle – RailServices acts as a full-service aftermarket and lifecycle partner, helping customers to safeguard and extend the operating lives of their vehicles.
The leaner and more efficient operating and maintenance processes are, the more opportunities they give operators to sustainably optimize costs and reap higher profits while at the same time becoming more competitive. An interactive exhibit will demonstrate many different use cases, along with options for optimizing processes, costs and operating overhead. Meet up with Knorr-Bremse at #TalentCorner
