Quantitative substance assessment

The Wear Reserve Index (KAV®) serves as a precise indicator of an asset’s remaining technical value. It translates inspection data into a measurable physical residual substance. On a scale from 1.0 (as new) to 0.0 (worn out), the actual loss of value is visualized. This enables objective comparability of asset condition across the entire network. By continuously feeding the KAV® with data from cyclical inspections, a dynamic wear profile is created, ensuring the transition from purely time-based to condition-based renewal planning.
