One of Germany's largest chemical parks relies on MR.pro®

InfraLeuna GmbH and its subsidiaries are the owners and operators of the infrastructure facilities at the infrastructure facilities at the 1,300-hectare chemical site of Leuna, in the dynamic industrial region of Leipzig-Halle industrial region in central Germany: The companies at the Infra Leuna site produce twelve million tons of Leuna site produce twelve million tons of goods every day with 10,000 employees. The extensive infrastructure of the chemical park includes its own rail network. Via This rail infrastructure is used to transport around 50 loading points for InfraLeuna's customers at the Leuna chemical site. Leuna chemical site in rail freight transport. Operational control of the rail infrastructure is rail infrastructure is managed with the help of a modern operations control system via an operations control center. For the maintenance of the extensive superstructure facilities, InfraLeuna relies on the MR.pro® software.

Software solution from experts for experts
“Our in-house developed inspection and maintenance management software MR.pro® is a hybrid of expert system and technical expert system and technical information system,” emphasizes Andreas Marx, Managing Director of von Rhomberg Sersa Vossloh GmbH. Specially tailored to the special features of rail networks, the practical Since software version 4.0, the practical asset management system has combined the entire rail infrastructure, i.e. the track network as well as traction power supply, overhead contact lines, signaling and communication technology, stations, buildings and supporting structures - in a particularly practice-oriented scope and layout. In interaction with ERP systems creates a unique workflow in the maintenance cycle. MR.pro® functionally supports both short and long-term management of track networks: From the qualified recording of assets and inventories, through documentation and and evaluation through to active planning and control of inspection, maintenance and repair processes. maintenance and repair processes. The software also manages time-critical tasks such as revisions, inspections and warranty periods are also managed clearly and comprehensibly by the software.

Complete database for digital asset management
“We were looking for a practical solution for digitizing our infrastructure in order to reduce the planning reduce the planning, control and documentation effort and, on the other hand, to sustainably extend the service life the service life of our track and switch systems by means of an infrastructure management system, ”, emphasizes Sebastian Wehner, specialist engineer for railroad systems at InfraLeuna. “With the structured system and condition recording, we now have a complete database with which we can which we can not only document the system status of our rail network and update it as a life updated as a life file. MR.pro® also puts us in a position to track the development of the condition of our and to analyze the loads, designs and other properties over longer periods of time in order to to be able to derive meaningful condition forecasts in the medium term and to sustainably improve improve operational and functional safety in the long term.”
