Intelligence, safety, and efficiency for the railways of tomorrow
Comprehensive solutions with digital power for maximum availability. At voestalpine Railway Systems, mechanical precision, digital intelligence, and materials expertise merge into a system that meets the highest requirements.
System turnouts are the backbone of modern railway infrastructure. They connect routes, enable flexibility, and ensure smooth operation – whether in high-speed transport, freight transport, or urban networks.
But the requirements are increasing: maximum availability, maximum safety, and economical operation can only be achieved today with a holistic, digitally supported approach.
Today, a turnout is an intelligent system:
This combination sets new standards for safety, efficiency, and life cycle optimization.
Only the optimized interaction of all fixed and moving parts, supplemented by sensor technology, software, and intelligent monitoring technologies, turns individual components into a genuine system.
Your advantages:
Every component - from switch devices, crossings, drives, and sleepers to fastening systems - is part of an orchestrated whole.
Our system turnouts are equipped with state-of-the-art signaling technology and comprehensive monitoring solutions. Sensors monitor all critical areas – from the switch mechanism and crossing to the ballast bed – and send data to the central zentrak platform.
Your advantages:
With zentrak software, we offer a powerful, modular ecosystem for monitoring, asset, and maintenance management. zentrak provides a 360° view of the condition of your infrastructure – historical, current, and predicted. This enables data-driven investment decisions, optimized maintenance cycles, and a sustainable reduction in the life cycle costs of your assets.
Your advantages:
Whether high-speed, heavy-haul, mixed or urban transport – we deliver the right, performance-optimized system turnout. Our solutions are robust, durable and individually tailored to your requirements. Thanks to modular design and plug-and-play concepts, short installation times and maximum ease of maintenance are guaranteed.
Our turnout systems are based on precise planning and state-of-the-art analysis methods. Finite element calculations, multi-body simulations, and latest measurement technology ensure maximum structural integrity and performance. Intensive testing in our own laboratory and on the test track guarantee maximum safety and durability.
With over 170 years of experience, world leading material expertise, state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, and a clear focus on digitalization and sustainability, we are setting new standards. Our intelligent turnouts are ready for tomorrow's challenges – and make your railway infrastructure fit for the future.
We view superstructure and turnout systems as an integrated system. Our experts provide you with individual advice and develop tailor-made solutions – from planning and implementation to ongoing operation. With innovative tools and analyses, we support you in optimising your infrastructure in a sustainable manner.
