Emerging Technologies for Smart Asset
Maintenance
The recent introduction of modern
passenger trains operating at high speeds and using advanced control
technologies has required maintainers to introduce predictive
maintenance strategies in order to maintain or improve levels of
train availability and reliability. This presentation focuses on
emerging technologies that NEM Solutions has integrated into its
products in order to provide the next advance in automated
condition monitoring, intelligent system diagnostics and historical
analysis. The presentation considers communication technologies (GSM,
GPRS, Wi-Fi), data management technologies, and intelligent diagnostic
tools using case-based reasoning (CBR) techniques. Having
successfully applied these technologies with a train manufacturer,
the presentation demonstrates the resulting improvements in the
"smart" maintenance of rolling stock assets.
