This article first appeared in the Railway-News Magazine Issue 1 2024.
Step into the world of critical railway operations, where precision and reliability are always paramount. SKF, a global leader in bearings and rotating equipment – and a company that knows a thing or two about reliability – stands as a guiding force, helping redefine efficiency across the tracks.
Knowledge sharing is at the core of SKF’s mission. As part of its continual output of information into the industry, experts, including SKF leaders, have been sharing invaluable insights in enlightening webinar sessions. But it’s not just about keeping people in the know; it’s about a commitment to enriching the industry’s collective knowledge.
Complementing these insights, the ‘Ask an Expert’ series features seasoned professionals providing personalised perceptions. Regular #railvolutionary updates through news articles cover diverse topics, from overcoming workforce shortages to strategic partnerships, reflecting SKF’s dedication to a holistic approach in rail operations.
In response to the rail industry’s quest for a safer and sustainable future, SKF champions a proactive approach. Going beyond product delivery, the company offers complementary services elevating safety, reliability and profitability. Similarly, on-site bearing exchange services can help to minimise downtime, reduce stock and lower costs, supported by comprehensive installation and decommissioning.
That said, SKF emphasises bearing refurbishment, reducing waste, energy consumption and emissions by up 60 percent in some cases, proving that SKF’s commitment isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a hands-on contribution to a greener rail industry.
