Insight, predictability & maximum availability – with Asset.Insight (part of Vialis), Strukton and SMT
Dutch infrastructure faces a long-term and complex maintenance challenge. Tunnels are a critical link in this process: intensively used, technically complex, and with a direct impact on safety and traffic flow.
Asset.Insight specializes in tunnel engineering systems and works daily to keep these assets safe and available. Data is playing an increasingly important role in this process. Many tunnels already have large amounts of sensor data, but this data is often not utilized optimally.
Strukton, a (railway) infrastructure company focused on building and maintaining tunnels, among other things, will demonstrate in this knowledge session how tunnel data is used for data-driven asset management. Not as a theoretical model, but as a working, practical solution in an operational tunnel situation within one of the busiest infrastructure corridors in the Netherlands.
During this knowledge session, both Asset.Insight and Strukton will share their experiences with data-driven work. These will focus on individual practical applications, each with its own unique approach and lessons learned.
Who is this knowledge session for?
This session is intended for organizations and professionals responsible for the management and maintenance of tunnels and other critical infrastructure, including:
- Asset managers and maintenance officers
- Digitalization and information managers
- OT and IT specialists
- Tunnel managers and operators
- Governments and infrastructure managers
Topics related to OT data (tunnel management)
- Limited insight into the current status and behavior of installations
- Maintenance based on fixed intervals instead of actual data
- Responding reactively to malfunctions and incidents
- Unpredictability in costs and maintenance planning
- Limited coherence between OT systems and IT analytics
- Increasing pressure on availability, safety and energy consumption
What will we show in this session?
During this knowledge session you will get a concrete picture of how data-driven asset management is applied in tunnels.
We will discuss, among other things:
- Unlocking existing tunnel data
- The role of Cribl when filtering, enriching and routing data
- The analysis and intelligence in Splunk
- Early detection of deviations (such as increasing power consumption or temperature)
- Perform maintenance based on actual performance
- Monitoring the effectiveness of maintenance
- The contribution to higher availability and lower energy costs
From data to action: how it works in practice
The solution is designed as a clear and manageable chain:
- Sensors in the tunnel continuously collect operational data
- Cribl processes this data at the front end (filtering, enriching, structuring)
- Only relevant and clean data is sent to Splunk
- Splunk recognizes deviations and trends
- When threshold values are exceeded, actions are automatically initiated, such as maintenance planning or ordering parts.
A practical example discussed is an oversized truck damaging tunnel installations. We demonstrate how detection, follow-up, and recovery in such a scenario are data-driven and predictable.
What does this mean for tunnel management?
By systematically using tunnel data in management and maintenance, a different perspective is created on the condition and functioning of installations. Instead of snapshots, this provides a continuous picture that helps inform decisions.
This translates to, among other things:
- Higher and more predictable availability
- Fewer unplanned closures and disruptions
- Better planning of maintenance and investments
- Insight into the performance, usage and condition of assets
- Fewer unnecessarily active systems and lower energy consumption
