The rail system supports in excess of 50 million tons of freight per annum, and the move to a newer version of Mincom Ellipse software follows more than 10 years of WestNet successfully using the platform to gain comprehensive visibility of rail signalling and communication assets throughout their lifecycle, from initial construction or purchase, to maintenance, inspection, repair and eventual replacement.

WestNet’s IT services manager, Graeme Stickland, said the upgraded version of Mincom Ellipse includes solutions for asset and work management, as well as financials and supply chain management, to further drive the productivity and efficiency of the company’s assets and workforce.

“Freight volumes are expected to double within the next five years, through rapid expansion in the resources sector and continuing growth in the interstate freight task.

“Our upgrade of Mincom Ellipse will help ensure the 24×7 availability of critical assets, which are relied upon each day to link Western Australia to the eastern states and export key Australian commodities. We look forward to further improving the efficiency of our asset management to secure the future of a safe and sustainable rail network for Western Australia.”
