Description:	This paper describes a service concept based on an cost efficient RFID identification technology and an software solution for the accurate allocation of measurements from wayside train monitoring systems to specific wagons which supports the train and wagon operator to keep the technical shape of their wagons at a high level. Thus the wearing of the network lines can held low and track closures for maintenance work can be minimized. The described system (“Railreader-Maintenance Support”) generates added value of the measurements by exactly allocate them to a specific wagon or its parts as axles, bogies, wheels, etc. An upcoming maintenance need can be early recognized and countermeasures being taken by the train or wagon operator in time. The so maintained wagons are generally staying in a better shape and therefore introduce less wearing to the infrastructure itself. This leads to increased safety, less track maintenance effort and ensures higher availability of track resources and more revenues for all parties concerned.
