ÖBB Train Tech: part search at the train

At ÖBB Train Tech, technicians identify spare parts with Partium on the train, by text, label text, QR code, barcode or photo, without involving colleagues and without walking between train, workshop and warehouse.

ÖBB Train Tech came to Partium on Deutsche Bahn's recommendation.

At a railcar's open switch cabinet, Partium Find on a phone finds the same Siemens circuit breaker four ways: from a few typed words, from its label, from a code and from a photo. Beneath, Partium Agent with Semantic Multi-Modal Search

The story

How ÖBB Train Tech runs it

  1. New to the trade, new to the language

    When the words for the part are not there yet

    Technicians who are new to rail terminology, or for whom German is a second or third language, find the right part from a photo, without an expert.

  2. The search behind it

    The words you have are enough

    Semantic Multi-Modal Search finds the part from the words you have, even when the record behind it is messy.

    Every way into the search, input by input, is on Partium Find.

In their words

“We are confident that we will see a significant reduction in our search times once Partium is rolled out across all locations.”
