How prescriptive analytics can signal a new method of railway maintenance
As scheduling has become more sophisticated, maintenance processes have evolved and improved. However, as Michael Saucier, Product Manager at AspenTech discusses, recent studies indicate that most equipment fails on a ‘random’ basis no matter how many assets are inspected. In other words, failures cannot necessarily be correlated to how maintenance was performed.
