At Avantgarde, refurbishment  entails more than just repairing an equipment; it also includes preparing it for the needs of current railway operations. While we specialize in restoring the mechanical heart of self-propelled railway vehicles such as tamping machines, track layers, and grinding units, we also bring them into the digital era with custom technological improvements.

By incorporating innovative digital technology into our reconditioned equipment, we enable our clients to operate more safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. This dual strategy guarantees that older assets are not only brought back into service, but also wiser and stronger.

Digital Enhancements We Provide

Avantgarde offers patented solutions, developed and engineered in-house: 

• AVrecorDATA
  A certified onboard event recorder that captures and transmits real-time data for monitoring, diagnostics, and safety compliance.
• wRails 2.0
  A digital guidance and measurement system for tamping machines—simple to use, precise in performance, and multilingual for versatility.
• Custom Software Solutions
  We design software tailored to client requirements—adapting machines for local standards, special functions, and improved usability.

Why It Matters

Integrating digital tools during refurbishment minimizes the likelihood of unforeseen failures, improves operator safety, and eliminates costly downtime. Predictive monitoring, real-time diagnostics, and user-friendly controls let railway operators operate more confidently while also extending the machine’s life.
