Fleet Checks

ExcelWraps offers a digital solution to manage UK rolling stock fleet checks, streamlining the inspection, assessment, and maintenance processes to ensure the safe and efficient operation of trains. With the ExcelWraps digital solution, train operators, Rolling Stock Operating Companies (ROSCOs), and maintainers can benefit from a centralised, user-friendly system that covers various aspects of fleet checks, including:

  1. Visual inspections: The ExcelWraps digital solution allows users to record and track visual inspections of train exteriors and interiors, capturing any visible defects, wear and tear, or damage through a digital interface. This data can be easily accessed and analysed, facilitating prompt corrective actions.
  2. Functional tests: The platform enables users to document and manage functional tests of train systems and subsystems, ensuring that all components are operating correctly and meeting performance expectations.
  3. Condition monitoring: ExcelWraps integrates with condition monitoring systems, collecting and analysing sensor data to assess the performance and health of train components. This predictive maintenance capability helps identify potential issues before they lead to failures or safety incidents.
  4. Compliance checks: The digital solution supports compliance checks by providing a platform to verify adherence to safety regulations, industry standards, and operational requirements. This can include managing compliance with specific standards, such as Rail Industry Standard (RIS) or Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI).
  5. Maintenance records review: ExcelWraps allows users to store and review maintenance records, ensuring that all required maintenance tasks have been performed according to schedule and that any identified issues have been addressed appropriately.
  6. Software and firmware updates: The platform can facilitate the management and tracking of software or firmware updates for train systems, ensuring that they are running the latest versions with the most recent improvements, bug fixes, or security patches.
  7. Safety and security checks: ExcelWraps digital solution enables users to assess and manage the fleet's safety features, such as emergency exits, fire suppression systems, and communication systems, ensuring they are functioning correctly and meeting regulatory requirements.
  8. Performance analysis: The platform provides tools for evaluating the fleet's operational data, such as fuel efficiency, punctuality, and reliability, helping users identify trends, potential issues, or areas for improvement.
  9. Staff training and competency assessment: ExcelWraps can be used to manage and track staff training and competency, ensuring that maintenance and operational staff possess the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their tasks safely and efficiently.
  10. Corrective actions and follow-up: The digital solution facilitates the implementation of corrective actions based on fleet check findings, and allows users to monitor and track the effectiveness of these actions through follow-up checks and assessments.

In summary, the ExcelWraps digital solution offers a comprehensive and user-friendly platform to manage UK rolling stock fleet checks, enabling train operators, ROSCOs, and maintainers to proactively identify and address potential issues, maintain compliance with safety standards, and optimise the performance and reliability of their rolling stock.
