Customized Maintenance

Background

A global leader in the rail equipment manufacturing and servicing industry asked Enics for support in the maintenance of a fleet of locomotives belonging to one of their customers. This included the maintenance of the vehicle control, drive control, brake and communication electronics. The very high public profile of the customer’s products requires a level of reliability and safety approaching that of aircraft. The customer looked for a partner who could fulfill these very demanding and complex maintenance needs.

Team members were chosen based on their many years of experience with professional maintenance services, as well as their knowledge of the customer’s systems and products. Investments in new infrastructure were carried out, raising the performance level to meet the requested deadlines.

The customer profits well by having Enics as a long term partner, ensuring high quality and trouble-free operation of his products, in addition to providing the customer with valuable time to concentrate on project success and core competencies.
