Maintenance System Optimisation
The fleet performance is just as good as the maintenance plan is. Too frequent maintenance intervals are heavy and expensive to maintain and expose the fleet to process failures, too few in turn can lead to a fleet with breakdowns causing even higher spend for repairs.
We at VR FleetCare have a long history and a good track-record on optimizing maintenance plan of both fleet and technical systems. We trust in our expertise and data knowledge when deciding where the maintenance plan should be changed.
Risk and Safety Management
Assessing and controlling risk and safety are our core competence. We function as the ECM (Entity in Control of Maintenance) of our customers' fleet; therefore, we master the risk and safety assessment processes (EU 402/2013) to make sure your fleet is safe in our hands. We also possess our own ISA (Independent Safety Assessment) function.
Fleet System Digitalisation
One common problem when utilizing digitalisation is that useful data is not available. Especially with older fleet that do not necessarily have digital technology or fleet diagnostics data is unreachable. It is still possible to implement data-driven maintenance and fleet management. If you know what data is valuable, it can be acquired and utilized easily with modern technology.
VR FleetCare has a lot of experience in measuring various signals and phenomena of rail fleet and infrastructure. The newest IoT -technology allows affordable data acquisition and transfer from systems that do not provide digital information.
