GE Transportation has signed an agreement with OTTIMA plus Sp. z o.o. for the distribution of a modern railway infrastructure maintenance management system in Poland. The RailDOCS system has been successfully used by railway companies in the USA for years. Now, the product will be available on the Polish market to streamline the management of railway infrastructure maintenance in our country.
RailDOCS is an integrated system of applications that allows railway line operators to manage their infrastructure maintenance process. Until recently, European railway sector companies relied on paper-based document circulation, which significantly hindered efficient management. The RailDOCS system not only ensures secure data storage in a digital format but, more importantly, enables free data processing, thereby facilitating efficient planning, management, and optimization of the daily work of railway infrastructure maintenance units without the need for paper documents.
– The RailDOCS system is an integrated mobile tool successfully used in the American market for infrastructure management. We hope it will be just as well-received in Poland. It is an innovative cloud-based tool that any employee can connect to via the internet to enter new data, make schedule changes, or confirm the completion of tasks in real-time. RailDOCS provides greater control and insight into management activities, allowing for a significant increase in efficiency – says John Raymond, Head of Sales for Optimisation Solutions at GE Transportation.
Among the RailDOCS solutions, customers will find, among others, a configuration management module, a signaling device inspection and audit module, a track inspection and fault removal module, and a bridge structure inspection module. The configuration management module is a software package used for managing company assets while conducting audits of electronic applications for planning and recording the results of equipment and asset tests and inspections. The package also includes a time tracking module, providing real-time monitoring of employee working hours, as well as a technical documentation management module, which allows for the processing and sharing of documents and drawings online in real-time.
– Introducing the RailDOCS product to the Polish market is an opportunity to improve safety in rail transport and introduce a new culture and quality of managing key assets in railway companies, as well as increasing their efficiency – says Marek Jabłoński, Vice President of the Board at OTTIMA plus Sp. z o.o.
In North America, RailDOCS already has over 5,500 active users, and this number is constantly growing. It handles over 250,000 online requests daily, manages over a million items, and collects over 6 million inspection and audit forms.
