COMPLETE POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL CONSULTING
When we say that PTC Partners are Innovative Operations Experts, that’s not just a marketing claim—it’s a fact backed by years of combined experience and proven PTC leadership. We provide truly expert consultation on every aspect of Positive Train Control including these key areas:
Education
Since the PTC Partners leadership team has already successfully developed, installed, and maintained the entire onboard Positive Train Control process for over 4,000 locomotives for Major North America railroad(s) , no one has more relevant knowledge to share with your organization than we do. Trust our experts for the PTC education you need.
“Bernie Has the Experience to Provide Impactful
PTC Education and Solutions.”
— Kathleen Brandt, President CIO CSX Technology
Analysis & Development
For every client, we start our relationship by fully understanding and analyzing their PTC status, including process optimization, as well as their plans for ongoing systems monitoring and diagnostics. Some railroads have not yet begun the PTC process and need comprehensive development consulting. Others have a plan in progress for PTC compliance, but do not have the asset management measures in place to remain compliant after implementation.
PTC Partners has the experience and expertise to help you at every stage of the PTC process—today, tomorrow, and for decades to come. Wherever you are in the process, we can develop a comprehensive, Six Sigma-based action plan to ensure success.
“PTC’s Analysis Put Us on the Right Track
to Achieve Our Goals.”
—Kelly King, AVP Kansas City Southern
Implementation
For railroads who have planned their PTC system, we can help to implement and optimize it with excellence. PTC Partners will source the right hardware, software, and technology for your unique needs, drawing on our decades of experience working with the world’s best providers. Then we will perform complete installation, testing, checking, and debugging, followed by a successful launch and even ongoing help-desk monitoring and diagnostics of components, software, and more.
Given everything that a railroad has on the line, why risk being noncompliant? Trust PTC Partner’s experience to save you time, money, and headaches.
“Bernie and his experience was invaluable to
the success of our team”
— Michael J. Ward, CEO of CSX Transportation
Maintenance & Support
With the looming federal deadline, most railroads are understandably focused on their Positive Train Control implementation. But PTC is a complex “system of systems” involving scores of integrated hardware components and software applications. Each piece of the PTC puzzle must be monitored 24/7, have diagnostics run continuously, and have routine updates made to ensure system dependability and ongoing compliance. Failure to properly maintain a PTC system can become a costly liability. Fortunately, PTC Partners has the proven know-how and expertise to keep your Positive Train Control investment on track long after implementation.
