Case Study: Rete Ferroviaria Italiana achieves improved availability and reduced maintenance costs with GE Digital Predix Asset Performance Management

RFI Deploys Predix Asset Performance Management to Improve Availability and Minimize Costs

Rete Ferroviaria Italiano, the Italian national railway infrastructure manager, faced rising operating costs and the need to move from time‑based scheduled maintenance to a predictive maintenance strategy while meeting Italian National Safety Authority reporting requirements and integrating with SAP across hundreds of object classes and nearly two million functional locations. To address this, the company partnered with GE Digital and chose Predix Asset Performance Management (Predix APM) to modernize its maintenance approach.

GE Digital implemented Predix APM to segment operations by market and traffic, define availability and maintenance activities, run MTBF and reliability analyses, and establish sector KPIs accessible to all users. As a result, Rete Ferroviaria Italiano improved earnings, reduced maintenance time and costs, gained objective asset‑health visibility, and optimized maintenance and resources across nearly two million functional locations.
