CAF LeadMind Users | Actren

[0:11]Digitalization is creating a paradigm shift in most industries, and of course in the railway sector. Actren (Railway Maintenance) is a company owned by CAF and Renfe. We maintain fleets that provide services as high speed, medium distances or commuter lines. There is a real commitment to the digital transformation with LeadMind, CAF's digital platform. It is allowing us to perform real-time asset maintenance as well as advanced analytics for predictive and condition-based maintenance. In our case we have to minimize the time of assistance. We can connect to a vehicle in real time to see what is happening. There have been some cases that while we are monitoring the train we can see that a breakdown has been reproduced and follow it live. So we can anticipate, call the driver and solve it before affecting the service, predictive action. We get to a point that we can analyze the incident and know which card is failing and prepare the material before the train arrives at the workshop. In this way the train arrives, we know in which position it is going to enter, the material we need and the repair that must be carried out. It also facilitates a very important part for us: to track breakdowns. We are able to activate automatic notifications by mail and to collect historical data and statistics so that together with our engineering we can make improvements in the equipments. At Actren we are leading the Condition Based Maintenance initiative through LeadMind. It is allowing us to carry out a personalized maintenance to each unit and flexible to the changing environment in which the units operate. It is helping us to focus on those equipments that need more assistance, reducing considerably the incidents on service. As a result, provide a better service to the operator Renfe. All this has a clear return on investment with evidences that we have already collected in safety, smart planning of the workshops or the extension of the life of the train assets. LeadMind for us has been a great advance in the way of working and technologically. The technological lever with LeadMind and the culture & business strategy together contributes to an operational excellence and to a better train passenger experience.
