Boosting efficiency
Every 24 hours, 3 trains go in each direction and about 500 wagons are used, leading to an annually transport of 0,4 million tonnes of goods. The challenges for CargoNet is to:
Increase reliability and availability
Lower high operational and maintenance costs
Reduce frequent unwanted stops in track due to wheel damage
Working with Predge, the objectives for CargoNet were to increase the reliability/availability and reduce costs by:
Avoiding stops in track due to wheel damage
Planning all maintenance activities with time and place
Fewer stops
With the services from Predge, CargoNet saw a reduced number of stops in track by 90%, from around 40 to 4 in one winter period. Before the next trip, wagons could preventively shunted and improvements were found in:
Planning wagons to workshops with capacity and resources
Autonomous: Confidence in the analyses – automatic generation
