  • As we approach the summer solstice this week, the longest day of the year, it’s a perfect reminder of the importance of “time” on your operational efficiency. At Dayton-Phoenix Group, we're dedicated to driving innovation and efficiency in the rail industry. One key advancement we've championed is the shift from traditional annual overhauls to strategic time-based maintenance overhauls. But what does this mean for our partners in the railroad sector?   Enhanced Reliability: Time-based maintenance is tailored to the actual usage and wear of equipment, rather than a rigid calendar schedule. This approach ensures that components are serviced precisely when needed, preventing unexpected failures, and extending the life of critical systems. Increased Availability: By focusing on the condition and performance of the equipment, rather than arbitrary timelines, we minimize downtime. This means more trains are operational and on the tracks, leading to increased profitability. Cost Efficiency: Targeted maintenance reduces unnecessary overhauls and optimizes resource allocation. This results in significant cost savings without compromising on safety or performance. Proven Results: Our time-based maintenance strategies have consistently delivered superior outcomes for our customers, enhancing the overall performance and reliability of their rail operations.   Join us in transforming the future of railroad maintenance! Together, we can achieve greater reliability, availability, and efficiency.   Happy summer solstice from all of us at Dayton-Phoenix Group.

  • In the heart of Dayton, Ohio, where industry hums and innovation thrives, there exists a tale of the resilience of Dayton-Phoenix Group — a story etched in the destructive forces of a fateful night.   The stage was set — an F4 tornado descended on our Dayton, Ohio, plant the evening of May 27, 2019. Tearing through steel and concrete, shattering windows, and uprooting the very foundations that held DPG’s legacy, Dayton-Phoenix Group’s familiar landscape transformed into chaos.   As a supplier to worldwide critical infrastructure needs, rail, mining, and off-highway equipment OEMs & End Users across the globe looked to us to continue our storied history of trusted and reliable solutions that keep trains moving, mines operational, and supply-chains connected.   But adversity breeds resilience, and within the tempest’s eye, something remarkable unfolded. The spirit of DPG surged. DPG leadership and employees stood strong and forged a plan for the future – to be resilient and to continue our storied history that has been around since 1939.   Five years later, we stand here stronger than ever. Dayton-Phoenix Group continues to be trusted by locomotive manufacturers, railroads, and mines world-wide to get to where they need to be, on time, efficiently, moving proudly for their customers.   Dayton-Phoenix Group: Rising from the Storm, Unyielding, Unbroken. https://lnkd.in/gH9rvVx8

    Dayton-Phoenix Group’s Industrial Engineering Supervisor, Tim Somers, has been named to the Rising 30 Class of 2024 for his work in advanced manufacturing and logistics (AML). Conexus Indiana today announced the newest members of the Conexus Indiana Rising 30, an exclusive group of young professionals who are recognized for their early-in-career accomplishments in Indiana’s largest industry sector.   Rising 30 honorees exemplify leadership and innovation in AML and are poised to become Indiana’s future industry leaders. There is an enormous amount of opportunity for small-to-medium manufacturers to radically improve their operations using advanced manufacturing technologies. Dayton-Phoenix Group leaders sum up Tim Somers’ impact pretty simply, saying the company’s 2023 record production, sales, productivity and more would have been impossible “without Tim’s expertise and push to improve.” But his influence goes beyond the West Lafayette company, as he is a recognized leader in the movement to modernize manufacturing throughout the area, and he was even interviewed by a pair of professors writing an article for Harvard Business Review titled “How Smaller Manufacturers Can Upgrade their Tech.” A champion of lean manufacturing concepts and continuous improvement initiatives, the Purdue University grad’s biggest asset might be his humility, according to company leaders, who say that, in the face of his many accolades, “he is quick to defer praise to his teammates.” “Tim is an invaluable member of our team. Whether he is implementing a new idea for lean manufacturing, working with community partners or helping another team member, Tim brings a great attitude. He is always eager to learn new things and is focused on finding the best solution which leads our company to great results.” - Christy Fox, CEO Dayton-Phoenix Group    Rising 30 honorees represent diverse professions, including quality specialists, entrepreneurs and business owners, engineers, educators, CEOs and software designers. The companies they work for range from massive international companies to local start-ups located in cities and towns all across the state.   This year’s honorees were nominated by their employer or an industry representative, and winners were selected based on their early-career accomplishments. In the coming year, the Rising 30 honorees will participate in Conexus Indiana’s work by serving as thought leaders on subjects ranging from emerging technology, smart manufacturing, public policy and talent development.   “The dynamic professionals named to this year’s Rising 30 cohort are defining what it means to be a young leader in Indiana’s AML sector,” said Fred Cartwright, president and CEO of Conexus Indiana. “I’m more optimistic than ever about the future of industry in Indiana after meeting this year’s honorees and learning about their accomplishments and plans for the future.”
