HCL Technologies Ltd. said its Enterprise Application Services division HCL AXON announced releasing of its iMRO solution for the rail industry.
HCL AXON's iMRO, a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solution endorsed by SAP AG, was previously available for use by organizations that maintain complex, expensive and regulated assets such as in the travel and transportation, high-tech, energy, aerospace and defense industries.
iMRO for Rail, when used together with the SAP Enterprise Asset Management (SAP EAM) solution, increases operations for the rail industry and integrated life-cycle management for linear assets, rolling stock and road vehicles.
iMRO for Rail was developed to improve productivity and planner visibility and reduce variations encountered between planning and rail operations, allowing higher asset utilizations to be realized for large and small railways, manufacturers and third-party MRO providers. The native and pre-built integration of the iMRO solution, certified by SAP for integration with SAP solutions, reduces time to implement, risks, cost of support and cost of custom development.
iMRO is supported by HCL AXON's ReadyForRail Framework, encompassing accelerators such as rail process models, benefits-dependency maps, rail-asset cost models, user guides and rail-specific dashboards for speeding up deployments and increasing the value of such investments in SAP solutions.
HCL Axon Executive Vice President & Global Head of Asset Intensive Industries Todd Crandall said, "We are delighted to be cooperating further with SAP to optimize global rail asset management processes. The evolving co-innovation with HCL AXON's iMRO since 2008 for aerospace and airlines and now the rail industry emphasizes the longer-term commitment from HCL AXON and SAP."
SAP Head of Transportation and Logistics Industry Business Unit Till Dengel said, "Across the globe, railway customers have chosen to implement SAP solutions to run their core commercial systems of record, and they look to SAP to help extend their strategic investments. Through delivery of iMRO for Rail, used together with SAP EAM, rail customers have an even stronger set of solutions available for rail-assets management.
At the BSE, HCL Technologies shares are currently trading at Rs.484.00, up 1.24 percent from the previous close.
