Rail asset management: fix it in the possession, not in the peak.
For metro and rail operators, a single failed point machine or a door that will not close can hold up dozens of trains. Our rail asset management products and services help maintenance teams anticipate failures and plan the repair into the next possession window (planned engineering access).
What gets in the way in rail and transit
Peak-hour failures
Alarm limits set too late detect failures only after trains have been held.
Repeat faults
Components are repaired one at a time while the root cause sits in the rail car or the wider asset.
Tight possession windows
Work, crews, permits and parts all have to fit into a few night hours.
Failure data gaps
Free-text close-outs hide the patterns that matter.

Track-side and depot work that keeps going in tunnels and dead zones, with clean failure codes at close-out.

Point machine PM-23’s throw time drifts from 3.80 s towards the 4.6–4.9 s band where similar machines failed, long before the 5.0 s alarm. The agents draft the work order for tonight’s possession and reserve the parts. A planner approves at 07:05.

Questions about rail asset management and predictive maintenance
Do we need new sensors to start?
No. Agents start with the work history, meters and failure codes already in your EAM. In our train-door example, the pattern came entirely from existing depot history.
Does it work with IBM Maximo?
Yes. Asset Agents work inside Maximo 7.6 and MAS through Maximo’s own APIs and permissions, and Maximo services cover migration and integration.
