A Class 1 Railroad Operates Maintenance Facilities for Repairing their Fleet of Locomotives. These Facilities are Composed of Air compressors, Wheel True Machines and Other Highly Automated Equipment Used to Keep the Fleet of Trains Healthy and Operating Efficiently
Challenge:
- Unplanned downtime of critical assets
- Compressors are complex to maintain with proprietary controllers and communications
- Company lacks resources to properly maintain equipment, at scale, in order to satisfy regulatory standards
Results:
- SORBA delivered a centralized IoT platform reducing operating expenses in anticipation of data collection & monitoring scale
- CSX received future-proofed flexibility to ensure interoperability digitalization between devices, projects and business units (OT/IT)
- CAPEX savings on server infrastructure
- Risk was mitigated by securing IoT infrastructure data and network gaps, while managing configuration updates automatically
