Asset Management with Better investment and optimised infrastructure maintenance with digital support
The development of transport networks continues, with major projects all over the world. But tomorrow’s infrastructures are also those that exist today. Indeed, the transport networks we use every day can sometimes be several decades old, or even more.
The risks associated with poor asset management are real, and the associated challenges concern all mobility stakeholders, from the design of assets to their end of life.
Taking care of existing networks and implementing good asset management is therefore a prerequisite for the development of sustainable mobility, guaranteeing the safety of users and respecting the environment.

Did you know?
Contrary to popular belief, asset management does not begin when a line or piece of equipment is commissioned, but rather at the planning stage of their investment. The technical and/or financial choices made at the start of a project have repercussions over the next 10, 20, 30 or 40 years.
Whether it is a new line project or a renovation project, the challenge is to decide when, how much, and how to invest wisely in one’s network or in one’s fleet in order to have physical assets that meet the desired objectives in terms of performance, costs, and risks.
SUPPORTING YOU IN MAKING THE BEST INVESTMENT AND MAINTENANCE DECISIONS
Our objectives:
- Enable you to know your assets well (state of wear and tear, ageing, financial values, asset register, etc.), to help you make decisions and see the effects of their implementation;
- Help you understand the causes of deterioration of your assets (use, time, environment, maintenance carried out, etc.) and their consequences on performance, costs and associated risks;
- Advise you on investment and/or maintenance scenarios that meet the objectives and budgetary constraints of your network, translate the selected scenarios into operational terms, and ensure that the change is properly managed.
ASSET MANAGEMENT AS SEEN BY SYSTRA AND USBEK & RICA
In a new 30-page illustrated booklet, SYSTRA explores all the facets of asset management – financial, operational, technological and organisational – in addition to its accounting dimension.
What is the definition of asset management? What is its purpose, its effects, its levers, its relationship with technological innovations, its ability to bring together the players?

What makes us Unique
We carry out analytical work to turn data into useful information for decision-making. We rely on tools as well as our technical expertise in engineering and maintenance of transport networks, on our ability to model the lifecycle of assets as well as their operational and financial impacts.

The infographic illustrates the 3 main stages of the Asset Management offer:
- Collect the data from the assets,
- Analyse and decide on a plan of action based on the data collected
- Implement the actions.

SYSTRA offers a comprehensive asset management service based on the expertise of its ISO 55001* certified staff and its maintenance engineering skills specialising in transport systems.

Rail Asset Management for optimised Rail Networks
The Rail industry is increasingly turning to systems engineering and assurance practices to maintain optimal utilisation and performance of its rail networks.
Our Rail Consultants have the multi-disciplinary expertise needed to effectively apply these practices throughout the life of railway infrastructure technology projects, with our Asset Management solutions providing tactical outcomes to support sustainable rail networks.
Optimal asset management relies on the implementation of solutions by utilising data and tools to evaluate the performance and reliability of the rail network, and to aid in strategic decision-making while maintaining cost efficiencies.
Understanding the overall ‘health’ of a rail system through condition monitoring systems provides network data to inform operational and maintenance strategies preventing problems occurring when in operation, thereby having a reliable asset that successfully achieves what it is required to do.
Our approach to asset management is aligning it with overall business imperatives whether the driver is capacity, throughput, customer experience or other. Our team proactively work with clients in helping them move from a state of being reactive and maintenance-driven to a strategic framework that is diagnostic, predictive and cognitive.
As we move into a world of IoT and artificial intelligence, even greater opportunities will be created for rail operators to improve effectiveness and efficiencies to influence their asset management strategies.
Asset Management Solutions
Our rail asset management solutions utilise data to evaluate the performance and reliability of the rail network helping to improve strategic decision-making and informing operational and maintenance strategies, ensuring reliable asset performance.
