Presentation title: Digitalisation of the Public Transport Operation, Maintenance and Service: Voith contribution – OPRA, SmartNet and SmartAssist
In the transport industry the key to operating fleets efficiently is the transparency of the performance of all assets in daily businesses. That means professionals on operative and strategic levels need the right information at the right time. As a long-standing supplier of key-components and -systems for rail and road vehicles, Voith has accumulated a huge driveline-know-how over decades. The combination of this expertise with new technic telematics allows Voith to offer OPRA, the well-established Asset Life-Cycle Management Solution. This system covers all core areas of asset management for vehicle fleets in order to optimize life-cycle cost and availability of the vehicles. A derivative of OPRA – “DIWA SmartNet” – provides bus fleet operators with the advantages of the former maintenance management capabilities. Drivers and operators are supported by SmartAssist through the reduction of fuel consumption during daily operation. That means SmartAssist Live assists the driver while driving and, at the end of the trip, provides summary feedback regarding the driving behavior. For the management, SmartAssist Report offers processed data in the form of regular individual reports to increase the efficiency of vehicle operations.
