The corona crisis is turning everything upside down. Many activities are being deferred. For Massimo Parisi, Project Manager at Strukton Rail, the reverse was happening. He was asked to renew over 6 kilometres of track in two weeks’ time. That turned out to be quite a puzzle.

We all know the traditional tamping machines, which are frequent guests on the tracks. Tamping machines capable of gathering high-quality data from the track and converting it into predictive information were nowhere to be seen up until now. We have developed an intelligent tamper together with System 7 that can learn to work by itself. With the investment in the Universal Tamper 4.0 we have next level tamping technology in-house. A new step towards a data-driven future.
