Digital software solution for greater efficiency and safety in rail transport

30 March 2026 |

In rail transport, enormous amounts of data are generated daily by sensors along the tracks that collect information about trains as they pass by or travel through. When used correctly, this data provides valuable insights into the condition of rolling stock and enables the early detection of hazardous situations. Prompt intervention can minimize damage, even prevent it entirely, and maximize the availability of both the infrastructure and the rolling stock. The rolling stock monitoring software, zentrak CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE (CMS) from voestalpine Railway Systems, centrally aggregates this information and makes it usable for operators.

About zentrak CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

The zentrak CENTRAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE is part of the monitoring solutions offered by voestalpine Railway Systems. The software solution analyzes, interprets, and visualizes diagnostic data from track-side sensors — virtually in real time.

The modular product structure:

Enables flexible integration of a wide variety of systems, protocols, and data sources.
Offers an intuitive user interface, allowing diagnostic and monitoring data to be easily interpreted and used for operational decisions.
Enables the integration of additional diagnostic systems.
Offers the option, in addition to direct alerts to users, to send notifications, e.g., via email.
