Hitachi fleet engineers keep the high-speed class 395 fleet in optimum condition through practical application of the best technologies in the UK railway industry. This improves derailment safety, reduces gauge infringement risk and extends wheel lives.

The Bogie Overhaul process is one of many processes supported by ExcelWraps. Progress is reported at three levels: the whole unit progress, individual bogie progress and the progress for each of six stages in the overhaul process. This approach was developed for Brush Traction and adapted to bring the best working practices across Wabtec.

Brush Traction use ExcelWraps as a platform to roll out their digital strategy. ExcelWraps delivers work instructions to the shop floor, captures digital signatures and adds photo/video descriptions of snags. Data is immediately available to share across the business, advising clients on any problems they encounter.
