Schaeffler + Swiss Federal Railways (SBB): Significant progress with the digitalization of its fleet
In partnership with Schaeffler, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) has made significant progress with the digitalization of its fleet.
Body
The basis for the new life cycle management of bearing data is a data matrix code (DMC) on the axlebox bearings that allows data on the bearing history – from production to operation and maintenance – to be retrieved and shared between various companies worldwide.
This creates a lot of benefits:
- Storage of all bearing-related data over the entire life cycle
- End-to-end traceability of all processes
- Predictive maintenance thanks to timely identification of weak points
- Information gain for process and production optimizations
- Enabler for 100% return service within the framework of bearing reconditioning
- Basis for fast, reliable and sustainable action
