About Rail Power Systems<\/h2>\n

Rail Power Systems (RPS)<\/b> is a leading provider in the field of railroad infrastructure and overhead line construction. As a long-standing partner of Deutsche Bahn, RPS plans and implements projects throughout Germany - with a focus on quality, precision and adherence to deadlines.<\/span><\/p>\n

The impetus for digitization came from a specific surveying error in the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. initial situation: A mast in the wrong place<\/h2>\n

What happens if a survey point is set incorrectly?<\/span><\/p>\n

At Rail Power Systems, one such error led to the incorrect foundation of an overhead line mast - unnoticed until the track was built. The incident initially went unnoticed - only six months later, during track construction, did it become clear that the mast was meters away from the target point.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cause was quickly found, but the consequences were serious: delays, additional work and costs. One thing was clear - a solution was needed that would allow more self-monitoring on the construction site.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. goals: More control, better documentation, faster processes<\/h2>\n

The incident gave rise to a central question:<\/span>
\n<\/span>How can quality assurance on the construction site be supported digitally - without high additional costs?<\/b><\/p>\n

Rail Power Systems pursued several goals:<\/span><\/p>\n
