"Developed by users for users"

The software which was initially developed exclusively for own use, served to quickly and reliably evaluate the collected data of the digital turnout and track measurement tools of Vogel & Plötscher. These together with the visual condition checks were combined into an overall evaluation of the infrastructure.

The automated creation of easily understandable and visually supported documentation was an essential aspect. The documentation could easily be interpreted even without special technical knowledge and technical means, due to the classification of faults.

Reasons for the continuous digital data capture of an inspection (without a media break) were primarily the minimisation of errors through plausibility checks, the elimination of transcription errors and not least, the completeness of the information through the integrated control of dialog. This requires an on site proposal of the measures to be taken for each detected fault. The software entails an ergonomic condition assessment with automated condition analysis, evaluation and documentation features. Besides the mentioned improvements of quality, the software also unlocks additional cost saving advantages through a continuous optimisation of the process.

Since program version 2.0 (2006), MR.pro ® has also been directly available for end-users in transport organisations. This was made possible by a new, user-friendly interface with many additional features that provide a practical combination of inventory and condition data capture (inventory, monitoring and visual inspection) as well as condition assessment (analysis, classification). This provides the user with processed and categorised information in a infrastructure database, ready for planning, control and realization of the maintenance tasks.

Regular updates and user meetings ensure user friendliness and a practical application of MR.pro®.
