Smart Tools Wrapped!

Eliminate human error and capture critical data with intelligent tool integration.

In safety-critical railway maintenance, the precision of your tools is only half the equation—the accurate recording of measurements and actions is equally vital. Our SmartFleet Smart Tools solution delivers:

• Seamless integration with digital torque wrenches and precision measurement tools
• Automatic capture of critical values directly into maintenance records
• Programmable tool settings pushed directly from workflows to smart tools
• Complete digital audit trail of every measurement and action
• Real-time verification that specifications are being met

The result? Eliminated transcription errors, perfect compliance documentation, and enhanced safety assurance.

Leading railway maintenance depots across the UK are already using our system to transform how they integrate smart tools into their digital workflows.

How We Have Delivered Value for Our Clients

Our focus is on eliminating risks, guaranteeing compliance, and optimizing maintenance operations for train operators, Rolling Stock Operating Companies (ROSCOs), and maintainers.

1. Eliminating Errors and Ensuring Compliance

We deliver enhanced safety assurance and guarantee documentation integrity by removing the potential for manual mistakes:

• Error Elimination: We eliminate human error and have specifically resulted in the elimination of transcription errors for our clients.
• Perfect Documentation: The outcome of using our system is perfect compliance documentation.
• Complete Audit Trail: We provide a complete digital audit trail of every measurement and action. This system ensures traceability and accountability for each fastener tightened, which is particularly useful in industries where safety and compliance are critical.
• Real-Time Verification: Our clients benefit from real-time verification that specifications are being met.

2. Enhancing Accuracy and Quality Control

By leveraging intelligent tool integration, we ensure that maintenance tasks are executed with superior precision compared to traditional methods:

• Precision and Safety: Smart tools, such as intelligent torque wrenches, are designed to deliver highly accurate and precise torque values. This capability reduces the risk of incorrect tightening (over-tightening or under-tightening fasteners), thereby improving the overall quality and safety of the assembly process.
• Data-Driven Insights: Intelligent torque wrenches log critical data, including torque values, date, and time, which can be integrated into systems for analysis, reporting, and quality control.
• Workflow Integration: We enhance accuracy by pushing programmable tool settings directly from workflows to smart tools. Furthermore, we have integrated ExcelWraps with intelligent torque wrench systems so that the tightening results are automatically retrieved.

3. Optimizing Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness

By implementing optimal tool management practices, SmartFleet helps clients improve efficiency and resource allocation:

• Operational Optimization: Train operators and maintainers can optimize their tool management practices, resulting in improved efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of rolling stock maintenance.
• Reduced Delays: High tool availability ensures that maintenance tasks can be performed without delays, minimizing downtime and improving efficiency.
• Resource Allocation: Our metrics track tool utilization, helping clients identify underutilized or overutilized tools, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently.
• Streamlined Processes: The ability to program intelligent torque wrenches with specific torque values or ranges for different applications helps streamline the process and reduces the likelihood of errors.

Recognition of Excellence

Smart Tools integration is just one of over 30 SmartFleet solutions designed to digitally transform railway operations. Our commitment to innovation has been recognized externally:

SmartFleet has been selected by University of Birmingham's Rail Innovation Centre as the regional winner in the European Railway Clusters Initiative (ERCI) Innovation Awards 2025, an event taking place in Milan.
