Dortmund is investing in the future: New Rail Service Center is being created!
Siemens Mobility celebrated the topping-out ceremony for an impressive expansion of his workshop hall in Dortmund-Eving. This extensive investment, which amounts to around 150 million euros, marks an important step in the development of the location. The new total area of 12,300 square meters will enable trains with a length of up to 400 meters. This measure takes place as part of a comprehensive plan to expand the location by 2026 by a total of 87,550 square meters, which will increase the total area to an impressive 157,550 square meters, such as Ruhr24.de
The workshop in Dortmund has been considered one of the most modern rail service centers in Europe since 2018. The planned expansion will create up to 100 new work and training positions in the region. Dortmund's mayor Thomas Westphal emphasizes the importance of the project for work, technology and digitization. In addition to the workshop, Deutsche Bahn also plans to build a large ICE plant in Dortmund, which will offer up to 500 jobs and whose completion is planned for 2027
technological innovations
The digital depot, which has been in operation since 2018, relies on advanced technologies such as AI-based maintenance, 3D printing and automated service services. The maintenance processes are digitally controlled in order to optimize operation and maintenance and to achieve system availability of up to 100%. Trains continuously send condition reports on sensors to the digital platform Railigent X. A high -speed train per month generates up to 30 GB of data that is crucial for monitoring and maintenance. This is explained by Siemens.com further.
The depot has state-of-the-art testing and maintenance devices, including an outdoor cleaning system and a wheel set diagnosis system. In addition, an automated vehicle inspection system (AVI) is installed, the vehicles checked with laser technology and feeds the data obtained into Railigent X. In the future, the visual vehicle inspection should be fully automated, which will further increase the efficiency of the company.
