Case Study: SBB AG increases train availability with modular maintenance by valantic and SAP EAM

SBB AG boosts rail maintenance with Valantic and 8,000 RFID tags

The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB AG), a leading European railway company, faced the challenge of optimizing maintenance for its high-utilization multiple-unit fleet. The classic overhaul process led to underutilized component wear limits and increased downtime pressure. To address this, SBB partnered with valantic to implement a solution leveraging SAP EAM (Enterprise Asset Management).

valantic's solution involved modularizing maintenance work and integrating RFID technology for mobile data capture. This enabled performance-based, wear-focused maintenance planning directly on-site, significantly improving data quality in the SAP system. The results for SBB included increased fleet availability, a reduction in downtime, and optimal utilization of component service life and resources.
