Predictive maintenance and more predictable trains contribute to a better tomorrow

Founded over 150 years ago, Downer is a leading provider of integrated urban services. The group’s Rail and Transit Systems delivers rollingstock asset management services in Australia and New Zealand, with expertise in delivering whole-of-life support to customers. Together with IBM, Downer is searching for opportunities to cut the energy use of its fleet. If we can better understand which rail systems are using the most energy—how they need to respond throughout the day as the weather and passenger demands change—we can really optimize use and get a better outcome for everyone overall. IBM and Downer’s collaboration on reducing energy consumption is still underway, but early results have positioned the client for significant improvements in energy usage and efficiency.
