Dutch state-owned rail company NS Groep (NS) will be deploying the Trimble R2M real-time remote diagnostics monitoring system. As a core component of NS’ overall real-time monitoring architecture, the system allows railway operators to streamline maintenance costs and provide efficiencies across their fleet by automating manual tasks.
Trimble R2M processes diagnostic data from rail vehicles in real time. It provides a comprehensive view of the overall fleet’s status including specific vehicle faults. The system also identifies potential faults that may arise while analyzing and detecting anomalies in on-vehicle component behavior to identify component health and the possible impact this behavior may have on the vehicle and overall fleet.
With the Trimble R2M software, NS will be able to aggregate data from a range of on-train and wayside sources and provide real-time information to the NS Train Helpdesk to monitor the fleet status. Information will also be available to Fleet Analysts, Work Planning Engineers and Mechanics to support the operational repair process of NS in real time. It will enable users to prioritize actions based on the flow of incoming data and provide a detailed overview to users dealing with large numbers of incoming alerts and support the repair process with real-time information on mobile devices.
