DIGITALIZATION & INTEGRATED MAINTENANCE
Over its 30 years of operation, Lucchini RS has introduced numerous innovations to help OEMs and train operators noticeably reduce maintenance stops, optimize inspection intervals and improve train safety and passenger comfort.
ONE-STOP PHILOSOPHY
Lucchini RS offers turnkey solutions, including complete outsourcing of the rolling stock and therefore a total reduction in CAPEX. We cover everything from wheel manufacturing to wheelset and bearing inspection facilities and reprofiling services, which allows us to maintain 100% control of the service quality.
RFID TRACKING SYSTEM
The goal is to leverage innovation and simplify the wheelset fleet management throughout the entire life cycle, offering real-time information on the state of wear, technical data, certificate of conformity, and turnaround time.
SMARTSET®
SMARTSET® Condition Based Maintenance tools powered by the Starcrack algorithms help to optimize freight inspection intervals without compromising freight safety. SMARTSET® sensors detect the stress levels of the axle, offering a real-time picture of the wheelset components’ safety and warning of the potential critical locations along the track.
