For the realization of visions.

How do we manage to be - and remain - innovative as a modern company? Which opportunities do we offer our employees to promote improvements and play an active role in shaping our common future?

An idea to improve a work process is quickly born. But a successful project is often a complex process.

The DB Bahnbau Gruppe has launched the “Gleislabor” platform to provide professional support. Using modern methods and intelligent technologies, optimum conditions are created and innovative processes are supported through to completion. Numerous initiatives have already been promoted, realized and brought to maturity through this approach - and more will follow.

Some of our highlights at a glance

	Göffel Working aid on the track Point heaters are attached to the rail base with clamps. To dismantle the point heater, these clamps must be removed and refitted. However, for a long time there was no suitable tool to carry out this work step quickly. The "Göffel" is a suitable tool that now facilitates the work process in an efficient and uncomplicated way.
	Toolbox Digital assistant in track construction The “Toolbox” is an online platform for digital track construction apps in the categories of work, knowledge, learning, playing and testing. The apps offer trainees, skilled workers, master craftsmen and site managers work aids and information on all aspects of track construction and motivate them to learn. Costs are saved, errors are minimized and the improper use of work equipment is prevented. The platform is multilingual and can be individually adapted and expanded.
	360° Multisensor Platform 3D track network The introduction of BIM is increasingly increasing the need for 3D models, meaning that data acquisition on the track is often necessary. This places enormous restrictions on rail operations and is difficult to plan for. The 360° Multisensor Platform offers a solution for obtaining data without affecting rail operations. The platform enables the efficient recording of track sections and provides extensive data for visualizing the existing situation and planning detailed measures. The measurement data provides a precise basis for 3D modeling of the existing structure and is the surveying basis for BIM projects.
