We are proud to announce that Deutsche Bahn has been recognised with the prestigious DB InfraGO Innovation Award in the Technical Innovation category for it’s Remote Point Control solution (Elektrische Weichenkurbel), enabled by Dual Inventive’s RSS 3000 PC and MTinfo 3000 technologies.
During the generic renewal of mainline infrastructure (Generalsanierung Hochleistungsnetz), point machines are disconnected from power during engineering works, requiring points to be operated manually. This traditional process can be time-consuming, introduces additional operational steps, and increases the potential for human error.
Working closely with Deutsche Bahn, Dual Inventive demonstrated how the RSS 3000 PC can transform this process. Through a click of a button via MTinfo 3000, points can be operated remotely, enabling maintenance activities to be carried out more safely, efficiently, and in a controlled environment, all within seconds.
This achievement is the result of more than two and a half years of close collaboration between Dual Inventive and Deutsche Bahn, bringing together operational expertise, technical innovation, and a shared commitment to improving rail safety and efficiency.
Throughout the project, both organisations worked together to ensure the RSS 3000 PC delivered a solution capable of meeting the evolving demands of modern railway infrastructure. The result is a technology that not only simplifies operations but also enhances safety by reducing the need for manual intervention in challenging working environments.
Competition for the award was strong, with several outstanding organisations recognised for the quality and innovation of their products and services. To be selected as the winner among such a high calibre of innovators is a testament to the performance, reliability, and technological advancement of the RSS 3000 PC solution.
Winning the DB InfraGO Innovation Award in the Technical Innovation category firmly positions the RSS 3000 PC at the forefront of railway technology. The award recognises the success of the partnership between Deutsche Bahn and Dual Inventive, as well as our ongoing commitment to developing innovative solutions that enhance safety, improve operational flexibility, and support the future of the rail industry.
Jorn Sprangers, Business Development Director at Dual Inventive, said:This award is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved in the project. Our close partnership with Deutsche Bahn has enabled us to develop a solution that delivers genuine operational benefits while improving safety and efficiency. It is rewarding to see the RSS 3000 PC recognised as a leading innovation within the rail industry.
We would like to thank Patrick Gaese for the nomination, read his post on LinkedIn for more detail.
