Bertrandt Rail supports rail manufacturers, operators, infrastructure companies and suppliers throughout the entire product lifecycle – from concept development and design to systems engineering, software and hardware, testing and maintenance.
A particular focus is on retrofit, re-engineering and obsolescence management. When electronic or mechanical components are discontinued, systems reach the end of their lifecycle, or purchasing new replacements is not economically viable, Bertrandt develops sustainable solutions to modernise, upgrade and extend the service life of existing systems.
Our services include:
- Retrofit and modernisation of existing rail vehicles
- Re-engineering of electronic and mechanical assemblies
- Obsolescence management and spare parts strategies
- Lifetime extension for vehicles and subsystems
- Hardware and software development
- Systems engineering, verification & validation
- Product development and design
- Testing, simulation and certification support
- Technical documentation and document management
- Technical consulting for vehicle and infrastructure projects
By combining development expertise, in-house testing capabilities and many years of experience in the rail industry, Bertrandt Rail helps customers modernise existing systems cost-effectively, increase availability and safeguard their investments over the long term.
Depending on the company and location, Bertrandt holds certifications and accreditations including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 45001 and ISO/IEC 17025, as well as TISAX approvals.
Retrofit & Re-engineering – preserving existing assets, shaping the future
Outdated control systems, discontinued electronic components or rising maintenance costs do not necessarily mean that an entire system must be replaced. Bertrandt Rail analyses existing assemblies and systems, develops technical replacement solutions and supports their implementation through to successful integration and commissioning.
From reverse engineering individual circuit boards and redesigning hardware and software to fully modernising vehicle systems, we create sustainable solutions for safe and cost-effective rail operations.
