Recap of Obsolescence Community Day 2025 Part 1

Full of practical insights, innovation, and exchange on Life Cycle & Obsolescence Management.

3 weeks ago, we handed the stage to our host: Sven Rehder from Verkehrsbetrieben Karlsruhe gave an impressive look into the development of the depot and the challenges in the Vehicles & Workshops division. Topics like fleet growth, workshop adaptation and lifecycle costs, emphasized how crucial strategic planning and cross-department collaboration are for future-proof mobility.

 

Mike Pepping from Rheinmetall Air Defence then took us on the journey from reactive crisis management to a proactive obsolescence strategy. His insights into real projects, structures, and workflows showed how his company uses the LCM Client to ensure transparency, early warning, and risk minimization.

 

Next, Yvonne Drossel from Beacon Rail gave a hands-on presentation of the digital transformation in Obsolescence Management: from Excel chaos to a structured, automated process using the OM and RM Modules in the LCM Client.

Faster response times, better tracking, and transparent task distribution – a real win for the whole team.

 

After lunch, Thomas Stubbe and Alexander Friesen from ROSEN shared exciting insights into their world: highly complex inspection and diagnostic technology for industrial facilities and at the heart of it all, the LCM Client, which proactively addresses risk in parts availability and ensures smooth technical operations.

 

📌 Conclusion: Digitization in obsolescence management isn’t a luxury it’s the foundation for planning security, delivering capability, and long-term availability.
