The Innovation Award was presented for the E-Check project. The Innovation Award was presented for the E-Check project. The DB press release states (translation provided by Götting): “The tech provider Gestalt Robotics and the mechanical engineering company Strama-MPS, together with Götting KG, developed the E-Check for automated train maintenance. For this, high-resolution cameras and sensors scan the train and analyze its condition with the help of artificial intelligence. The employees at the E-Check track thus learn quickly and precisely where action is needed. The automated process facilitates maintenance and ensures that our trains are back in service faster.”

We are proud and delighted to have been honored with this award and would like to thank Deutsche Bahn and our partners Strama-MPS and Gestalt Robotics. On behalf of all project participants at Götting KG, our colleague Jan-Hendrik Pecksen received the award. He is also the contact person for questions regarding this project.
