ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

When spare part requirements are identified for a vehicle or infrastructure, things must move fast. Identification of spare parts in 10 seconds, ordering in three minutes, delivery in 24 hours – a seamless digital chain in material supply. But how can this promise be fulfiled?

Automatic spare part identification, an online marketplace for every material requirement and 3D printing are some of the drivers which contribute to 100 per cent system availability.

Identification in 10 seconds

When spare parts requirements are identified for a vehicle or infrastructure, things must move fast. At the same time, an exact identification of the required spare part must be carried out. New technology is enabling automatic, fast and reliable spare part identification by simply taking a picture with a smartphone.

Order in three minutes

After taking a picture of the defected part, the real-time connection with an ordering platform makes purchasing quick and easy – a ‘one-stop-shop’ to meet all the material needs in the rail industry. For rail vehicles and infrastructure, orders can be placed for everything – from a complete locomotive to the smallest screw. Seamless integration of sellers combined with reliable services in the spare parts business makes it possible to offer a very wide range of products, save time and support 100 per cent system availability. Ordering of more than 130,000 spare parts is possible around the clock.

Based on the customer’s experience with the spare part, experts combine this experience with the advanced possibilities of additive manufacturing to optimise spare parts for a longer lifecycle. Enhanced and equipped with new functionalities. Conformity declaration for rail spare parts is included.

Delivery in 24 hours within EU

One example for express delivery is a concept especially for Vectron locomotives which guarantees availability of all meaningful spares. The material will be provided within 24 hours in the EU and within 48 hours worldwide. Large components such as complete bogies can be delivered within 30 days. One hundred per cent availability for your systems.

We help our customers to optimise their processes and thus to reduce their overall costs. After synchronising of customer and Siemens processes, high speed availability in material supply will be achieved.

Together with our customers we set the benchmark in the railway industry.
