Streetcar track switch maintenance, Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG, Dresden, Germany
The client provides public transport in the City of Dresden. Its streetcar system has a total track length of 270 km, making it one of the biggest such networks in Germany, with over 700 switches. Ensuring a service that caters for around 400,000 passengers per day is based on innovative maintenance management.
For this purpose, Fichtner IT Consulting implements a rule-based system for automated planning of maintenance tasks for servicing, cleaning and inspecting track switches. The database-backed system has now been in operation for several years and has decisively streamlined procedures for planning, carrying out and documenting maintenance. There are plans to link this system with SAP business management software for booking jobs and with mobile terminals for maintenance fitters.
