Saudi Arabian construction company RTCC (Al-Rashid Trading & Contacting Co.) has awarded NEM Solutions with a new contract for advanced wheel life cycle management for Saudi Arabia Railway Co.’s (SAR) workshops.
With this contract, SRO (Saudi Railways Organization) and SAR, the two most important companies operating the railways, are provided with AURA wheel. The order includes two automatic wheel profile parameter measurement systems.
Since their first contract in 2012 with SRO, NEM Solutions has monitored and managed the condition of over 40.000 wheel-profiles, ensuring an extended lifetime of maximum exploitation. This has been key to the fleet which operates in a harsh desert environment.
AURA wheel, currently manages wheelsets of over 36.000 vehicles, and this is expected to rise in 2015 by 40 percent. The ability to use Big Data techniques gives NEM Solutions increased knowledge and ability to extend wheel life cycles in accordance with customer needs.
