DB Vehicle Maintenance decides for PSI MES software
PSIpenta for rail wheel refurbishment at the Paderborn pilot factory
PSI subsidiary PSI Automotive & Industry GmbH has been contracted by the DB
Fahrzeuginstandhaltung (Vehicle Maintenance) GmbH, a subsidiary of the
Deutsche Bahn AG, with the implementation of a manufacturing execution
system (MES) for rail wheel refurbishment. The system is based on the
established PEC solution that combines planning, execution and control and
will be introduced to the Paderborn maintenance plant. After the successful
implementation in the Paderborn pilot plant, it will be rolled out at other
sites.
The decision in favour of the PSI software was made following a preliminary
study, a proof of concept and the definition of the requirements in
extensive specifications of work. The future manufacturing execution system
should primarily serve to consolidate the heterogeneous IT landscape in
production and therefore result in an optimisation of the IT operating
costs. In the framework of a corporate structure with a division of labour,
the IT support is also an important component in the planned automation of
the production processes that consist of both the assembly line production
of the simple wheel sets and the workshop production of drive wheel sets.
As a full-service provider, the DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung GmbH, with about
7,500 employees at 14 sites, offers a wide range of services in the heavy
maintenance of rolling stock. Along with refurbishment, repairs following
accidents and the modernisation of entire fleets, a major portion of the
total volume of work is the reworking of railway vehicle components.
With the order from DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung, PSI Automotive & Industry
highlights its technologically leading position in the field of complex
production and maintenance process in vehicle, rolling stock and the
aerospace industry.
On the basis of its own software products, PSI AG develops and integrates
complete solutions for energy management (gas, oil, electricity, heat,
energy trading), production management (mining, metals, automotive,
mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for
transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1,650 persons
worldwide. www.psi.de
