Rail Services Australia (Hunter Valley & North West) A provider of asset maintenance services to rail and other industries in NSW and South East Asia, Rail Services Australia (RSA) develops and deploys modern asset management systems and techniques to help manage rail safety and on time train running, reduce service interruptions and reduce user costs. In its work for the Rail Access Corporation in the Hunter Valley, RSA mixed standard maintenance techniques derived from the rail and road industries with more sophisticated aeronautical systems to provide an integrated asset maintenance management system. It includes the development and implementation of integrated software systems for maintenance management, a tailored technical maintenance plan and cultural change to support future asset management.
Klinge and Co Pty Ltd Brisbane-based Klinge and Co has developed and refined unique software tools to aid tyre cost management at mines. Total Tyre Control is a Windows compatible software program and a proven tyre management tool that quickly identifies the best tyre for the job, monitors day-to-day tyre maintenance, reports on tyre performance and condition, and includes accurate tyre budget forecasting. The program gives tyre users the information to provide safe, correct remedial solutions to fleet tyre problems and helps cut fleet operating budgets, in industries where the cost of tyres can be up to 10 per cent of total operating costs. Benefits include a reduction in capital for tyre purchases, increased productivity levels without tyre damage and improvements in tyre related safety levels.
