What to expect?

In this ERCI Webinar you will learn about smart railway engineering in the fields of material inspection and interior solutions.

The first presentation will be done by Terakalis (France) which is a world leading edge manufacturer of THz-based control systems for materials manufacturing and relative processes monitoring. Materials for Railway sector become more and more heterogeneous such as composite and multilayer ones. Their relative manufacturing processes are more and more complex to control. Innovative TeraHertz inspection technologies by probing inside the materials provide new tools for 100% products quality control within the production cycle.

The second presentation by Seisenbacher will share insights from completed projects, highlighting how well-engineered interior solutions enhance safety, sustainability, and overall vehicle performance through robust design, efficient production, and close alignment with customer needs. Seisenbacher is an Austrian company providing integrated interior solutions for rail vehicles, combining advanced engineering with practical, ready-to-install systems. The company emphasizes real-world applications, focusing on functional integration, manufacturability, lifecycle efficiency, and reliable performance in demanding rail environments.
