Have you felt the frustration of switching systems or using various spreadsheets based on whether your assets are bus rolling stock, rail rolling stock, rail infrastructure, stations, bus shelters, non-revenue vehicles, paratransit vehicles via third parties, ferries, HVAC, plumbing…and the list goes on? With the complexity of managing various modes of transit, the need for a robust EAM system becomes paramount.
Imagine the simplicity and uniformity of tracking all these asset types, their components, associated work orders, and service history in one system? The E in EAM stands for enterprise – a system capable of managing all assets in a multimodal agency.
By centralizing asset data, maintenance schedules, and performance metrics, an EAM system enables agencies to make informed decisions in real time. This access to data allows for better resource allocation, reducing downtime and optimizing asset utilization.
Effective maintenance is critical for keeping your agency’s vehicles running smoothly and extending their lifespan. An EAM system facilitates proactive insights into asset health and performance trends. Predictive analytics and condition monitoring capabilities enables agencies to identify potential issues before they escalate, reducing the risk of costly breakdowns and unplanned downtime.
By automating documentation, tracking inspections, and ensuring adherence to maintenance protocols, an EAM system helps agencies stay on top of regulatory compliance. This compliance not only minimizes the risk of penalties but also enhances safety for passengers and employees.
Implementing an EAM system can lead to significant cost savings. By optimizing maintenance schedules, reducing downtime, and extending asset lifespan, agencies can lower operational expenses and maximize return on investment. Additionally, an EAM system facilitates data-driven decision-making, enabling agencies to identify opportunities for cost reduction and efficiency improvements.
At the heart of every transit agency’s mission is the goal of providing a seamless and enjoyable experience for passengers. An EAM system contributes to this goal by ensuring assets are well-maintained and reliable. By minimizing service disruptions and improving overall quality of service, agencies can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.
In an era of increasing environmental awareness, sustainability is a key consideration for transit agencies. EAM systems play a vital role in promoting sustainability by optimizing asset usage, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing waste. By implementing green initiatives such as predictive maintenance, agencies can contribute to a more sustainable future.
Trapeze EAM supports all the goals above and more. Our EAM system is adaptable and scalable – it can support singular mode agencies up to complex multimodal ones. What makes EAM ideal for a multimodal agency is that since our team is focused exclusively on transit, we understand the complexities of managing multiple modes. Trapeze EAM workstreams are built to support these complexities. Role-based portals provide easy and focused access with just the information a technician may need vs a storekeeper.
With so many assets to track, are you letting potential warranty reimbursements slip through the cracks? Trapeze EAM manages all transactions that could trigger an equipment or component warranty.
EAM is modular, allowing agiencies to add system functionality specific to their operational needs. It is the only system built specifically for transit that offers advanced functionality in one system including yard management, fuel management, safety event management, digital twin precision maintenance and network restrictions for rail, and powerful business intelligence dashboards to better understand data.
Not only does EAM support tracking assets and managing maintenance, it also helps agencies stay on top of state of good repair regulations, provides out-of-the-box NTD reports for the FTA and FRA, and offers capital planning functionality.
