Inventory & Production Management for Railroad Equipment

The control
tower for your
railroad
production programme.

Bogies, traction motors, and safety-critical braking systems across locomotive, freight car, and passenger coach lines. FalOrb gives railroad equipment manufacturers real-time visibility into heavy components, deep BOMs, and programme-based production schedules.

01 / The Problem - Rail Assembly
■ The Problem

Your rail assembly
runs on
programme delays.

Bogies cast and machined over months. Traction motors sourced from specialist suppliers on allocation. Braking systems certified per railway authority. A single locomotive has over 10,000 components across eight BOM levels. When a programme milestone approaches, confirming that every safety-critical component is available and certified requires weeks of manual verification.

FalOrb was built for the programme scale of railroad manufacturing - where a single unqualified brake component can halt delivery of an entire train set.

Pain 01
Safety-Critical Component Certification
Braking, coupling, and structural components require certification by railway safety authorities. Certification linked to specific material lots and manufacturing processes. No automated verification that production uses only certified component revisions.
Pain 02
Programme-Scale BOM Depth
A single locomotive contains over 10,000 components. BOMs span eight or more levels with sub-assemblies sourced from multiple suppliers. No live rollup of material availability across all BOM levels against programme milestones.
Pain 03
Multi-Year Production Programmes
Fleet orders span years of production. Component specifications locked at contract award. Supplier changes during programme life require re-qualification. No tool tracking supplier continuity risk across programme duration.
Pain 04
Fleet-Level Spares Planning
Railway operators require initial spares packages with fleet delivery. Spares lists derived from reliability predictions and BOM analysis. No system link between fleet BOM, reliability data, and recommended spares inventory.

02 / The Platform - Built for Railroad Equipment Manufacturing
■ The Platform

One system from
raw bogie frame to
certified rolling stock.

FalOrb covers the full railroad equipment lifecycle. Heavy component inventory, programme-based BOM management, safety certification tracking, and milestone production scheduling - all connected with full component traceability.

Every bogie is tracked. Every traction motor is logged. Every safety certification is linked. From raw material through fabrication, sub-assembly, final integration, and testing to commissioned rolling stock.

■ How It Works

From stockout
to signal in
under a second.

When a critical material drops below threshold, FalOrb doesn't wait for someone to notice. The system detects, alerts, acts, and records - automatically.

01
Detect
Stock health reclassified in real-time. Four-state system flags the risk level before it becomes a problem.
02
Alert
The right role receives the alert. 13 alert types ensure the signal reaches the person who can act.
03
Act
Transfer request routed. MRP recommendation generated. Production order adjusted. Structured workflow, not ad hoc chat.
04
Record
Every action logged to the immutable audit ledger. Full traceability from detection to resolution.

Designed on the factory floor, not in a software lab. Every feature exists because a manufacturer needed it. Not because a product manager imagined it.
