voestalpine Railway Systems will present its complete rail infrastructure system portfolio for all types of rail transport at the InnoTrans trade fair. The event, which marks its 30th anniversary, will take place from September 22 to 25 at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds. The company will occupy a 1,000 m² exhibition booth to highlight digital system solutions focused on improving performance, availability, and sustainability throughout the infrastructure lifecycle.
Fixed Crossings and Track Infrastructure
The company will introduce its next generation of fixed crossings, which feature an altered structural design intended to reduce localized stress during wheel transits and facilitate faster equipment replacement times. This design targets decreased component wear and optimized maintenance workflows in mixed-traffic rail networks.
Additionally, new sleeper and fastening systems will be displayed as integrated solutions for multiple transit applications, ranging from mainline railways requiring optimized force flows to dedicated tramway systems. The technical objectives of these tracking components include maximizing availability, reducing the duration of track closures, and lowering overall life-cycle costs.
High-Speed Systems and Point Machines
For high-speed rail corridors, the technical portfolio includes movable crossings, locking systems, specialized fastening systems, and integrated monitoring solutions designed to handle structural robustness and operational cost-effectiveness.
The company will also display smart point machines engineered for confined installation spaces and detailed diagnostics:
- zentrak UNISTAR HR: Form-factored for the restricted space constraints typical of metropolitan metro configurations.
- zentrak ECOSTAR 5.0: Coupled with the SPHEROLOCK® NG external locking system to update maintenance and diagnostic workflows.
Signaling, Interoperability, and Wheel Detection
To support digital infrastructure integration, the presentation will focus on components built around open, standardized railway architectures:
To support digital infrastructure integration, the presentation will focus on components built around open, standardized railway architectures:
- zentrak OBJECT CONTROLLER: This platform aligns with the EULYNX architecture, utilizing standardized interfaces and functional separation concepts to secure system interoperability, modularity, and long-term asset support.
- UniAC[2] axle counting system: A wheel detection solution designed to provide precise tracking and high availability with low maintenance overhead under challenging operational conditions.
The product demonstrations will be hosted in Hall 21b at Booth No. 150 during the four-day international transit exhibition.
