Vossloh Inaugurates Advanced Turnout Production Plant in Sweden

Vossloh AG has launched a new state-of-the-art turnout production facility in Sannahed, Sweden, marking a significant advancement in railway manufacturing. This plant introduces an automated assembly line with robotic technology for sleeper installation, allowing for the production of up to 900 turnouts annually. This development is poised to enhance Sweden's railway infrastructure, addressing long-standing maintenance backlogs.

Swedish Minister for Infrastructure Andreas Carlson highlighted the importance of this project as a collaborative effort within the railway industry. The facility features a 150-meter-long hall where turnouts are systematically assembled, revolutionizing traditional manual production methods.

Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG, emphasized the integration of digital lifecycle management, including digital twins, to optimize quality and capacity. A training hall is also incorporated, focusing on the education of skilled workers.
