From training at the company’s own academy, through planning, surveying, and route alignment, to production, logistics, and assembly support, voestalpine Railway Systems offers integrated system solutions along the entire value chain. Supported by professional track service teams and comprehensive digital monitoring throughout the entire lifecycle, these solutions maximize track availability, reduce lifecycle costs, and ensure the long-term sustainability of railway infrastructure based on the principles of the circular economy.

Railway infrastructure is increasingly under pressure: rising traffic volumes, limited maintenance windows, and ambitious climate targets require solutions that go beyond individual products. voestalpine Railway Systems meets these challenges with a fully integrated, systems-based approach that supports the entire railway infrastructure process.

As a world-leading provider of integrated and intelligent railway infrastructure systems, voestalpine Railway Systems combines rail, turnout, signaling, fastening and digital solutions with comprehensive services and know-how along the entire plant lifecycle – always with one clear goal: maximum track availability.

From planning to installation: Automation as a performance driver

Even in the early project phases, voestalpine Railway Systems supports infrastructure operators with surveying, track planning, training, and consulting. Efficient manufacturing and pre-assembled turnout systems , combined with just-in-time logistics concepts, significantly reduce installation times and track closures. In practice, the installation time for turnouts has been reduced from approximately 65 hours to just 8 hours thanks to a high degree of pre-assembly and optimized logistics concepts.

Digitalization & predictive maintenance

Digitalization is a key lever for increasing availability. With zentrak , voestalpine Railway Systems offers an intelligent ecosystem for infrastructure monitoring, asset and maintenance management, and the monitoring of rail vehicles .

Real-time condition data enables predictive maintenance, reduces unplanned downtime, extends the lifespan of equipment, and transforms maintenance from reactive to data-driven and proactive.

Sustainability across the entire life cycle

Sustainability shapes the entire value chain of voestalpine Railway Systems – from durable products and circular economy-optimized turnout solutions to efficient maintenance concepts. With greentec steel – voestalpine’s ambitious step-by-step plan for green steel production – this approach is complemented and forms the basis for a high-performance, safe, and climate-friendly railway infrastructure.
