With track possessions becoming shorter and a shortage of qualified staff, infrastructure managers and contractors face major challenges. The pressure on railways to increase capacity and handle more trains using the existing infrastructure is increasing. This means delivering greater high-quality output in shorter track possessions.
Progressive automation of track maintenance machines offers a solution. Digital products support operating staff, reduce interfaces, create process reliability, and increase the output achieved. Familiarization times and training requirements for operation go down. In addition, staff can now monitor and carry out several maintenance tasks simultaneously.
