How can track distances to platform edges, contact wire, adjacent tracks, and other obstacles be measured in a way that makes maintenance and planning faster, safer, and more resource-efficient? In this webinar, tmc shows how the Digital Environment Profile (tmENV) virtualizes the track environment, identifies relevant parameters with high precision, and makes the results available through an intuitive, web-based platform.

How do you design railway maintenance software that stays powerful enough for complex operations, yet simple enough for every user to work with confidently? In this webinar, Martin Despotoski, UI/UX Designer at tmc, explains how user-centric design turns complex requirements into intuitive solutions for track maintenance teams, operators, and infrastructure managers.

How can measurement data be transformed into high‑precision digital representations of infrastructure, and immediately generate structured, intelligent inventories from it? In the webinar, Johannes Braun from tmc demonstrates how combining high‑resolution point clouds (Digital Twins) with automated inventory management supports infrastructure managers, planners, and project managers in making safer, faster, and more cost‑efficient decisions.

How can you map the entire digital railway maintenance workflow – from pre-measurements to documentation – in a single system without losing track of data quality at any point?

How can tamping machines be digitally guided so that target geometries are achieved precisely and reproducibly, even under time pressure? The Automatic Guidance Computer tmAGC is the central operating unit for the digital control of tamping machines and forms the basis for the digitalization of track construction machines.

In the rapidly evolving world of railway infrastructure management, precise measurement and detailed environmental data are crucial for safety, maintenance, and planning.

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.
