How can track construction machines be brought to the rail network more quickly and easily? The answer lies in the precise and efficient verification of the vehicle outline and its compliance with the country-specific clearance profile. This was addressed by CRO Benjamin Stuntner in the webinar “Machine Clearance Checks made easy.”

The railway line between Hamburg and Sylt, known as the Marschbahn, is set to undergo a major transformation. By the mid-2030s, this important north-south corridor will be fully electrified, reducing emissions and increasing capacity on one of Germany’s key rail links.

Cybersecurity at tmc is a core mindset. And no one embodies this more than Michael Wachert-Rabl, who joined tmc earlier this year as our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

Every time a new track machine or rail-bound vehicle is constructed, it must meet the specific Clearance Profile requirements of the country in which it will operate. To simplify this process, tmc introduced the Machine Clearance Measurement System, short tmMCM.

Wenn es um die Erneuerung des Gleisbetts geht, ist die Schätzung der richtigen Schottermenge eine der größten Herausforderungen, oder? Zu wenig und die strukturelle Integrität ist gefährdet oder Sie müssen warten, bis eine neue Bestellung von Schotter eintrifft. Zu viel und es werden Ressourcen verschwendet. Bislang haben sich Gleisinstandhaltungsteams oft auf grobe Schätzungen verlassen - mit tmENV BPM ändern wir das Spiel.

From May 20–22, 2025, tmc will be participating in the exhibition and is honored to be featured at Plasser & Theurer’s booth in Hall South, #S-430—presenting how our latest digital solutions are shaping the future of railway maintenance.
