Technological leader with
revolutionary systems

As the world leader and trendsetter in the areas
of turnout and driving, locking and monitoring
technology, we are committed to our customers’
and our success. New challenges and needs in
passenger and freight transportation require
innovative and sustainable all-inclusive thinking.
This is what drives the HYTRONICS philosophy,
linking together the associated turnout systems,
sophisticated diagnostic systems and hazard alert
systems. To ensure that our customers receive the
greatest possible benefit, including appropriate
levels of quality, all our products and system and
service solutions are tailored to the specific needs
of each customer. Further, our “one stop shop”
service makes material sourcing and problem
solving all the more simple for our customers.
We offer our turnouts completely pre-assembled,
equipped with all the necessary signaling
components permitting, where required,
continuous mechanical tamping.
“Just in time” delivery enables our customers to
drastically reduce installation costs and time. Our
solutions prioritise low life cycle costs and highest
possible asset availability and reliability for the
railway operator, coupled with the greatest
possible safety for passengers and employees. By
providing targeted information, our novel
monitoring systems enable early detection of
impending failures, allowing for efficient asset
utilization, including the avoidance of
unnecessary preventative maintenance.

Innovative and tailored
high-tech solutions from
a single source
We cross borders and develop trendsetting system based solutions for the technical
demands of the modern world.
Monitoring
Diagnosis of fixed infrastructure assets
Challenges
• Reduction of life cycle costs
• Increased asset availability and reliability
Customer advantages
• Demand oriented maintenance
• Possibility of avoiding failures
• Increase in cost saving potential
• Better employee protection by reduced on-track time
(frequency and duration)
• Precise error analysis
• Environmental protection by avoiding unnecessary
preventative maintenance (lubrication)
Diagnosis of rolling stock
Challenges
• Increased safety for rolling stock
• Special environmental conditions (snow, cold, heat, sand, dust,
etc.)
Customer advantages
• Multi-beam technology
• Tailored customer solutions
• Easy integration into higher level IT systems possible
• Reliable monitoring with highest operating speeds
• Redundant scanning with 8-channel measurement
• Modular and, if necessary, fully automatically packable
systems
• Tailored, innovative solutions
• Ultrasonic-based wind speed measurement
• One stop shop for solutions for diagnosis of rolling stock
• World market leader

Tailored concepts.
Maximised customer
benefit.
Single source solutions.
Turnout driving, locking and
monitoring systems
for the following segments:
• High speed
• Standard
• Heavy haul
• Suburban (incl. grooved rail applications, metro)
Challenges
• Special environmental conditions
• Low-maintenance to maintenance-free systems, prolonged
inspection periods
