Case Study: DB Cargo speeds up spare parts search with Partium

DB Cargo - Customer Case Study

DB Cargo, the largest rail freight transport company in Europe, faced a significant challenge in its maintenance operations. Its complex and non-uniform fleet, which included very old locomotives with incomplete or missing documentation, made identifying spare parts an extremely time-consuming process. Technicians could spend between 10 to 20 minutes or more searching for a single part, which delayed critical repairs and impacted fleet availability. To solve this, they turned to Partium's AI-powered part search solution.

Partium streamlined the search process by allowing technicians to use images, semantic search, and a wide range of available data to identify parts on the spot. The solution provided direct access to inventory levels and locations, accelerating the entire parts request process. As a result, DB Cargo observed a 100% success rate in reducing search times, with technicians now finding parts in minutes instead of 30 minutes or more. This led to faster repairs, less downtime, and more efficient operations across their maintenance facilities.
