The Parramatta Light Rail is one of the NSW
Government’s latest major infrastructure projects being delivered by Transport
for New South Wales (TfNSW) to serve a growing Sydney. Light rail will create
new communities, connect great places and help both locals and visitors move
around and explore what the region has to offer. It will connect Westmead to
Carlingford via the Parramatta CBD and Camellia, with a two-way track spanning
12 kilometres and is expected to open in 2023. By 2026, around 28,000 people
will use Parramatta Light Rail every day and an estimated 130,000 people will
be living within walking distance of light rail stops.
The deal is a long-term contract spanning
11 years for which Infor will provide a range of cloud-based asset management solutions.
With Infor EAM at its core, CAF will
establish a centralised asset strategy encompassing asset acquisition, control
and maintenance to comply with the contractual requirements of TfNSW. The
deployment will ensure FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective
Action System) processes are followed appropriately, using system capability for
ensuring overall asset performance and cloud technology such as automation,
IoT, and telemetry integrations.
Ramon Muntada, CAF TE Australia Area
Manager, said Infor was chosen because of its expertise in offering asset
management solutions to similar organisations in the transportation sector, and
understands the complexity of operating and maintaining transport services
across Australia and overseas.
“We were extremely impressed with
Infor’s track record in rail projects – not just their experience locally in
Sydney, Canberra, and Auckland, but also globally in North America and Europe. They
have the ability to deliver on a tight timeline and in coordination with
project milestones.
“We’ve partnered with Infor for many years
globally, and even use Infor’s ERP solutions to manage the manufacturing
process of our light rail vehicles in Europe.
“We fully trust in Infor’s ability to
deliver and meet all the business requirements of the Parramatta Light Rail
project. Their solutions will ensure that health- and safety- related practices
are enforced and enable us to efficiently and easily manage audit trails,” Muntada
said.
“Infor is proud to be a strategic partner to
help CAF deliver a robust and centralised asset management strategy that will
underpin the success of the Parramatta Light Rail project,” Infor ANZ managing
director Jarrod Kinchington said.
“Infor’s long experience in delivering
enterprise asset management solutions both locally and around the globe will
ensure CAF can efficiently manage and maintain a complex portfolio of assets.
“The 11-year contract with CAF is a strong
validation of Infor’s exceptional track record in providing Critical
Infrastructure services to the community – whether that’s in Paris, San
Francisco, the UK’s South Western, or more locally with Auckland Transport.”
