Railway maintenance innovation day

The CMMS for the maintenance expertise of railway rolling stock.

Railway Maintenance Innovation Day

Discover RAMFER and CMMS from CARL Source

RAMFER, a new private player in the maintenance of railway rolling stock relies on the CMMS of CARL Source Transport to structure its activity in France and abroad (Belgium, Morocco, Czech Republic, Poland , Romania). ECM certified, RAMFER carries out preventive, curative and repair maintenance work 24 hours a day. From its 4 French sites, RAMFER deploys its mobile maintenance teams for repair, preventive and inspection operations. It carries out major overhauls and heritage maintenance operations on locomotives, railway and rail/road equipment.

Thanks to its industrial model structured by the CARL Source CMMS, RAMFER is shaking up the usual codes of railway maintenance with particularly competitive commitments:

  • A commitment to results for optimized costs: RAMFER is the only service provider capable of carrying out heritage maintenance operations on several machines and several sites simultaneously. For these operations, RAMFER is committed to reduced downtime of 2 and 6 weeks compared to the competition. It also works to reduce the number and cost of maintenance steps, through an in-depth analysis of data from operations and manufacturers.
  • A transparent and real-time contractual commitment: each RAMFER customer has access to the CARL Source CMMS to follow works carried out on its equipment, by its own operating teams and by the RAMFER teams in real time. To ensure optimal traceability of interventions, all technicians use the CARL Touch mobile tool to receive their work notifications, have the machine history and its technical documents, make their reports by voice recording, manage stocks, inventories…
  • A capacity of innovation dedicated to the energy performance and the reduction of gas emissions: RAMFER developed Stop & Start solutions on various models of locomotives to reduce consumption, engine hours and the release of gas emissions (CO2 and NOX). RAMFER has studied the adaptation of electronic boxes that allow several types of information (geolocation, hours on the main and secondary engines, working parts, etc.) to be sent to the CARL Source CMMS in order to initiate preventive maintenance operations.
