Optibus and Stratio form fleet maintenance partnership

Operations software specialist Optibus is partnering with Stratio, predictive fleet maintenance system provider. The team-up is aimed at solving major operational and vehicle maintenance challenges in the public transportation industry using artificial intelligence. The partnership marks what the pair believe is the first joint effort between a predictive maintenance company and a planning and operations platform.

The Optibus-Stratio partnership accelerates the integration of historical data, artificial intelligence, and vehicle health monitoring in order to offer predictive maintenance solutions that forecast vehicle needs with greater precision and alert users in advance about when a vehicle may break down or require repair. By reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs and by extending the vehicle and asset life cycle, the solution should save on the cost of emergency repairs, avoid compliance fines and improve maintenance productivity.

“This is a significant step forward in enabling smarter decision-making and building the most comprehensive, end-to-end solution for public transportation operations” – Amos Haggiag, Optibus CEO and co-founder

Amos Haggiag, Optibus CEO and co-founder, said: “Optibus is excited to partner with Stratio to create more efficient public transportation networks by adding another critical layer of insights to the planning phases. This is a significant step forward in enabling smarter decision-making and building the most comprehensive, end-to-end solution for public transportation operations.”

“By integrating Stratio’s complete visibility over the vehicle’s condition with Optibus’ planning capabilities, we are enabling transport operators to make their service more reliable and, therefore, more attractive” – Stratio’s CEO and co-founder, Ricardo Margalho

Stratio’s CEO and co-founder, Ricardo Margalho, said: “Stratio is looking forward to collaborating with Optibus to achieve our common objective of increasing the adoption of public transportation, which is a critical move towards a more sustainable future. For passengers, the reliability of public transportation is a crucial factor in determining whether or not to use it. By integrating Stratio’s complete visibility over the vehicle’s condition with Optibus’ planning capabilities, we are enabling transport operators to make their service more reliable and, therefore, more attractive.”

Stratio’s predictive maintenance solution is used by Keolis, RATP, Transdev, Ford, Arriva and Go-Ahead among others. Optibus’ software is used to plan public transportation for over 3 billion annual passengers in 2,000 cities across the world.
