MONITORED & MAINTAINED FLEETS: Rolling stock operating on SAR’s East and North–South lines.

Rail transport plays a fundamental role in connecting remote regions across Saudi Arabia and supporting national development. CAF contributes to this vision by supplying the rolling stock operating on SAR’s East and North–South lines, and by working in close partnership with SAR to deliver maintenance services and digital capabilities through the LeadMind platform.

Under CAF’s Full Service maintenance model, onboard and wayside technologies enable predictive maintenance strategies that improve safety, increase fleet availability and optimise wheel lifecycle management.

For SAR, 5 Wayside Wheel Profile Monitoring (WPM) – Indoor system has been installed to automatically measure key wheelset parameters, including wheel profile geometry, flange height, flange width, qR value, wheel diameter, and axle dimensions such as the back-to-back distance between wheels.

“LeadMind is one of the best Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) tools used by CAF and Saudi Arabian Railways. It has allowed us to observe and monitor two of our fleets over recent years. Its ability to generate customised rules and instant alerts has helped us operate our fleet efficiently, proactively and above all, safely.”
