Vossloh Expands Digital Portfolio with RTI Acquisition

Vossloh, a German rail infrastructure technology company, has completed the acquisition of the Australian firm Rail Technology International Pty Ltd (RTI). This strategic move enhances Vossloh’s capabilities in automated rail inspection and data analysis. RTI’s technology, which includes ultrasonic and eddy current systems, allows for early detection of rail damage. Their innovative software visualizes and analyzes the collected data, crucial for predictive maintenance.

RTI’s systems can be mounted on various inspection vehicles, enabling continuous data collection during regular operations. Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG, highlights the synergy between RTI’s technology and Vossloh’s maintenance expertise, enhancing their predictive maintenance solutions for customers.

Based in Melbourne, RTI has been in the inspection systems market since 1988 and operates internationally. This acquisition aligns with Vossloh’s digital transformation strategy, following August’s acquisition of LiDAR specialist Cordel, underscoring their commitment to expanding digital capabilities.
