Technology company Indra (Spain) and Italian startup Greenrail, specializing in the production of eco-sustainable railway sleepers, concluded a collaboration agreement for joint development of products and innovative technological systems for the railway transport sector.
In the following months, Indra and Greenrail will study the technical and economic feasibility of developing a model of an eco-sustainable and smart sleeper, able to collect, elaborate and send real time data about the situation of the track and trains to the railway traffic control centers. Equipping Greenrail sustainable sleeper with Indra’s advanced systems opens doors to new functionalities of predictive maintenance, with impacts such as reduction of costs of installation and energy consumption, and increased safety.
Among the objectives of the agreement, there is also a joint development of other solutions and products for the railway sector, as well as conducting pilot projects for clients and research & development centers.
Both companies will evaluate the applicability of Greenrail technology as a complement to Indra’s advanced solutions for the railway transport; exchange expertise and disseminate the results in publications, conferences and other events. The collaboration agreement has been driven by Indraventures, Indra’s initiative aimed at strengthening relations with startups, spin-offs, universities and entrepreneurs.
