Find out how voestalpine Railway Systems has developed from a manufacturer of high-quality components to a global systems provider – with integrated railway infrastructure solutions for maximum performance and availability.
voestalpine Railway Systems is on a consistent path of transformation – from component manufacturing to becoming a holistic systems provider. Today, the company offers complete railway infrastructure solutions from a single source, ensuring maximum availability, optimised line performance, and reduced lifecycle costs for railway companies worldwide.
By shifting from a product-oriented approach to system-inspired solutions, voestalpine Railway Systems is redefining the standards of modern rail mobility.
At the heart of this transformation is the goal of thinking beyond individual products. True Performance on Track is based on how components interact with each other as part of an integrated system. This holistic approach enables operators to reduce downtime, extend asset life, and minimise total lifecycle costs — critical factors in today’s dynamic rail world.
Integrated System Solutions for Every Railway Application
Whether for metro and tram systems, freight transport, mixed traffic or high-speed lines – voestalpine Railway Systems develops tailor-made system solutions that are tailored to specific operational and geographical requirements.
The main advantages:
- Maximum plant availability and system reliability
- Reduction of unplanned downtimes
- Extended lifespan of infrastructure
- Minimising total cost of ownership (TCO)
Systems Thinking for Maximum Track Performance
System performance results from the interaction of many components. Thanks to decades of technical experience and a deep understanding of operational requirements, voestalpine Railway Systems offers a holistic view of railway infrastructure – from track and switches to fastenings and digital diagnostic solutions.
By combining global expertise with local know-how, voestalpine delivers intelligent railway systems that enable predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring and sustainable operations.
Future-Proof Railway Systems Through Digital Integration
A key driver of this transformation is the integration of digital services. Using advanced condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and data-driven asset management systems, voestalpine Railway Systems enables infrastructure operators to:
- Identify risks early
- Extend maintenance cycles
- Increase safety for passengers and goods
- Increase operational efficiency
Digital solutions such as the new zentrak software platform play a central role in this – they create a networked, reactive and intelligent railway system.
A Reliable Partner for Holistic Railway Infrastructure
As a systems provider, voestalpine Railway Systems offers a decisive advantage: all essential components and services for railway infrastructure come from a single source. This ensures smooth integration, consistently high quality, and efficient project management – for high-performance and future-proof railway networks.
