Bentley Systems and Strides Engineering Sign
MOU Agreement to Jointly Market a Rail Predictive Maintenance
Solution in the Asia Pacific Region
Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq:BSY), the infrastructure
engineering software company, and SMRT Trains, the pioneer Mass
Rapid Transit (MRT) operator in Singapore, have successfully
completed the implementation of a Predictive Decision Support
System (PDSS) for Singapore’s North-South and East-West lines, the
oldest MRT lines in the country. SMRT Trains’ PDSS, which is based
on Bentley’s AssetWise Linear Analytics, contributes to improving
the reliability of the two lines across 282 kilometers of track and
has helped SMRT Trains achieve more than 1 million kilometers
between failure (MKBF). MKBF is a measure of reliability used by
train operators around the world, where a failure is defined as a
service delay of more than five minutes.

Based on the success of the PDSS implementation on the
North-South and East-West lines, SMRT Trains has started the
implementation of the PDSS solution on the Circle Line (CCL) in
Singapore.
With many owner-operators of large metro networks in Asia
Pacific cities focusing on improving reliability to provide
uninterrupted services to riders, Bentley Systems and Strides
Engineering, previously SMRT Services, a business arm of SMRT
Corporation that provides a range of station-based engineering
services, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) to jointly market a rail predictive maintenance solution in
the Asia Pacific region. The MOU establishes a partnership between
the two companies that combines strong technology expertise and
rail operational capabilities to help urban rail and metro
operators. Under the terms of the MOU, both organizations will
market a rail predictive maintenance solution that visualizes all
rail asset information and manages, monitors, and analyzes rail
conditions. Bentley Systems will continue to sell, implement, and
support its AssetWise solution while Strides Engineering will
market and deliver its domain experience and add-on applications
for track maintenance.
SMRT Trains will be featured in an Infrastructure Spotlight
Series webinar in November as a part of Bentley Systems’ Year in
Infrastructure 2021 presentations highlighting advancements in
going digital. Registration details will be available soon for this
session on yii.bentley.com to learn more about how SMRT Trains is
an innovator to watch.
Lam Sheau Kai, president of SMRT Trains, said, “Leveraging
technology and taking pre-emptive actions are two very important
components in the plan to help us improve and maintain rail
reliability for the train lines SMRT Trains operates. PDSS
represents both components, and its successful implementation for
the North-South and East-West lines has given us much confidence to
scale it for the rest of our lines.”
Commenting on the new partnership, Gan Boon Jin, president of
Strides Engineering, said, “Strides Engineering’s collaboration
with Bentley Systems on the PDSS demonstrates a firm partnership in
combining strong domain and rail operational capabilities with
proven technological expertise. The PDSS will enhance and optimize
decision-making in rail maintenance. We look forward to bringing
the best practices and results of PDSS to other train operators in
the region.”
Kaushik Chakraborty, vice president, Bentley Asia South, said,
“We are extremely happy and honored to partner with Strides
Engineering to forward our common objective of advancing
infrastructure. With our combined strengths and industry
experience, we will empower rail and metro operators in the region
to improve reliability of the infrastructure that serves citizens
and residents.”
