Convincing visitors from all over the world of its own products: this is what the Werdohl-based rail technology group Vossloh wants to do.
The International Exhibition of Track Technology (IAF) is the perfect stage for this. Up to 15,000 visitors are expected until May 22.
Under the motto "Shaping the Future of Rail Infrastructure", Vossloh is presenting newly developed components and digital applications with a holistic approach. This includes the cloud-based "Vossloh connect" platform, which analyzes operating and status data in real time and provides recommendations for action to ensure maximum track availability.
The "smart HSG-city", which will be on display in Münster, is an intelligent unit for condition monitoring and rail processing for urban areas and enables preventive rail maintenance without any breaks in service. The "VTM-compact" milling machine, which can be used in all track gauges, is suitable for removing medium and severe rail defects. The machine for meter gauge will be presented at the IAF.
Vossloh will also be presenting a streetcar switch in which all wear parts can be replaced. This simplifies maintenance and halves the time required. Other exhibits at the IAF include the "Engineered Polymer Sleeper" composite sleeper, a sustainable alternative to wooden sleepers, the particularly sustainable "M-Generation" tension clamps and the "Engineered Polymer Pads" for improved stability and durability of the superstructure, according to the company's press release.
Vossloh will be presenting the "SoniQ Rail Explorer" for mobile ultrasonic testing as a live demonstration in Münster. For the first time, the technology also enables the inspection of switch frogs made of cast manganese steel in the track.
"Thanks to its uniquely broad portfolio and around 140 years of experience, Vossloh has a comprehensive understanding of rail track systems," says Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh. "Together with the wide range of corresponding services and the use of state-of-the-art digital technology, this results in solutions for higher track availability and lower life cycle costs."
The Vossloh stand at the IAF in Münster is located in the MCC Hall Münsterland, F 210 in the outdoor area south.
