Rolling Stock Maintenance Summit 2016

Train operators across the globe are seeking to maximise the number of trains in service while keeping costs at a minimum. But in order to do this, data analytics and downtime-reducing strategies must be explored.

And while condition based maintenance appears to be the holy grail for effective rolling stock maintenance, questions remain for operators around its successful implementation:

• How do we compile and present a compelling business case to justify the investment in condition based monitoring?
• How do we analyse the huge sets of data coming off the train in a coherent, efficient way?
• Which train data represents the most value for analysis to help us improve maintenance regimes and resourcing?

To address these and more issues, the Rolling Stock Maintenance Summit returns for its 5th edition to deliver cutting edge case studies on the industry's most pressing issues and the twin challenges of predictive maintenance and dynamic scheduling.

Following on from the success of last year's edition, and featuring speakers from countries including the UK, Japan, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden and Finland, the summit will reconvene at the Grange St.
