16.05.2025Visit us from 20.5. - 22.5. 2025 in Münster, in center hall/booth M235 and experience the new marking method for welded joints in the rail network
Sebastian Grüttner, Key Account Manager Railway Industry at smart-TEC and Olaf Wilmsmeier from Wilmsmeier Solutions will be at the smart-TEC stand at this year's iaf (International Exhibition for Running Gear Technology).
In addition to unique and highly customized marking systems using RFID, NFC and QR code technology, smart-TEC will be presenting the trade fair highlight 2025: the rail clamp.
Let us convince you how versatile, robust and indispensable the rail clamp is for marking welding points in the rail network.
Live presentation at the smart-TEC stand:
Designation: Rail clamp
Day of trade fair: 21.5.2025
Time: 10:00
Where: smart-TEC Center Hall/Booth M235

What is the rail clamp and how is it used?
A rail clamp made of a robust hardened steel alloy is attached directly to the rail base, next to or below each weld seam. This special metal nameplate with laser-engraved QR code and clear text is extremely resistant to weathering, chemicals and mechanical stress. It can be easily attached to the rail base with a hammer - without any glue or screws. In cooperation with GS1 Switzerland and various railroad operators, the rail clamp from smart-TEC was tested under realistic extreme conditions - in sub-zero temperatures in Norway as well as in high ambient temperatures in southern Europe.
smart-TEC offers GS1-compliant coding solutions for the railroad sector, including HF, UHF and 2D code technologies
All smart-TEC coding solutions are customizable in terms of shape, size, imprint, frequency and material. Years of field tests have proven their reliability and durability. The fastening options are also diverse and can be flexibly adapted to the respective application scenarios.
Outlook with regard to the Digital Product Passport (DPP)
Rail markings are becoming increasingly important, particularly in light of the Digital Product Passport (DPP) prescribed by the European Union. The planned revision of the Construction Products Regulation (revCPR) and the Ecodesign Directive (ESPR) will require energy-intensive construction products to be linked to globally unique identification codes and corresponding data in future.
