2BM has developed a Railway industry solution for SAP Mobile Maintenance. The solution is tailored to meet the special demands for the railway workers in the field and the specific data enhancement in the railway industry.
The solution is created in a close cooperation between the railway workers and the development team to ensure the solution is designed to the demands of true blue collar workers – with strong hands and not wanting to read through text and menus like other traditional IT solutions!
The solution integrates geo coding with the equipment to ensure efficiency in the daily work and optimize travel time to the job.
All in all – the SAP Mobile Maintenance for railway is created for railway workers!

3. SETTING THE STAGE
Benifits
• Acuracy in registrations
• Optimization of daily work routines
• Reduced transport times
• Minimize paper use
• Improved reaction time
• And more...
4. DESCRIPTION
Railway technicians normally start their day by picking up a stack of registration papers, timetables, forms and
schemas from the office, which they then takes along to the railways for his inspection tasks.
The primary task of maintenance workers, currently supported by the solution, is the execution of Inspection
Orders.
If the maintenance worker encounters issues they are reported as Maintenance Notifications
5. STARTING THE DAY
The technician starts the day by look at his
list of Work Orders.
They can see information about when and
where workorders must be executed.
Benefits:
- Reduced travel time: travel directly to
the work site, without visiting office first
6. WORKING TASKS
Once on site, the technicians have access to detailed information about the Work Order, such as:
- Equipments that must be inspected
- Operations that must be executed
- Measurements that must be taken
Benefits:
-Always up-to-date information
-Reduced paper usage
7. Once equipments have been inspected and operations have been executed, technicians can check off
individual items to confirm the work.
Bennifits:
-Backoffice can follow status continuously and close to real time
-Jobs can easily be handed off to other technicians
-For long running tasks, Technician is always sure of what work has been done
CONFIRMATIONS
8. MEASUREMENTS
As part of inspection orders, technicians
make ”Evaluation Measurements” for
selected equipment. They select from a
code group of values such as:
-Everything OK
-Needs maintenance
-Condition critical
Benefits:
- On site correct registration
- Fewer errors
9. SPOTTING FLAWS
They fill-in information about the flaw on the newly created
Notification.
They have access to the same search helps, that they already
are familiar with from the backend.
Benefits:
- Accurate data captured immidiately
-Eliminate double registration
-Speed up communication
Technician workers always have to have an eye open for flaws while being on the tracks - even on
equipment that is not part of the current workorder.
When detecting flaws on the track, workers create a new Maintenance Notification.
10. FINDING THE EQUIPMENT
To locate the correct Technical Object that the flaw
has occured on, technicians can use a map with
integrated GPS.
The map shows all Technical Objects in their
immediate vicinity.
Benefits:
-The correct Technical Object is easily identified
-Accuracy in registrations
11. TAKING A PICTURE
To further document the flaw, technicians can
attach photoes of the flaw to the Notification.
They can be taken with the built-in camera
Benefits:
-Better documentation of flaw
-No need for external devices such as extra
camera
12. SUBMITTING
After the data, Work Order or newly created Notifications
is submitted, technicians can continue their work, without
worrying about data connections etc.
All changes are locally stored on the iPad, and
automatically synchronized when possible.
Benefits:
-No show-stoppers
-Support in areas with no connection
