The company’s R&D activities focus on rail industry to increase track availability and extend the lifespan of infrastructure. The company has installed IoT sensors at various points on the track to collect information. Its internal microprocessor provides pre-qualification and aggregation of data, which are fed into an adaptive system for evaluation. Its DYNADeV platform predicts real time mechanical behavior of a switch. Its Digital Twin provides a virtual depiction of a physical object or system. It utilizes augmented reality and virtual reality for customer support services and for training. The company has installed the Easyswitch MIM-H for mainline routes. It has joint ventured with Rhomberg Sersa, which provides monitoring and maintenance services for switches and rails. The company has developed and going to test, a coating system OGISLIDE. This makes it possible for coated switch rail chairs to be moved without lubrication. The company in partnership with COGILINK has developed a new generation of self-lubricating rings, corrosion-proof pins and a lubricant-free ball joint for all arm types of switch systems, which is maintenance-free and more reliable. The HSG rail grinder is equipped with measurement technology to determine the longitudinal ripple and cross-section. It has also developed mapl-e software to evaluate the data from various rail and track conditions. In FY2022, the company incurred a research and development expense of EUR8.3 million, which is 0.8% of the company’s revenue.
