Siemens Mobility is looking forward to showcasing technology and solutions that help combine the real and the digital words across its portfolio at the upcoming AusRAIL PLUS event in Melbourne.
The three-day conference, running from November 26–28, will provide rail professionals with unprecedented access to cutting-edge technology, hands-on demonstrations, and direct engagement with global and local industry leaders who are shaping the future of rail mobility across the region.
From immersive digital signalling experiences to pioneering AI-driven services and a groundbreaking new podcast, Siemens Mobility’s expansive presence promises to be a focal point for innovation and strategic insights for the local rail industry.
Attendees are invited to explore a future where rail is not just a mode of transport, but a smart, interconnected ecosystem that is safer, more efficient, and more sustainable than ever before.
Interactive technology showcase across the portfolio
Siemens Mobility’s proven track record in delivering end-to-end rail solutions spanning infrastructure, rolling stock, operations, and digital services will come to life through an interactive exhibition.
Delegates visiting Stand 299 will have the opportunity to step into a virtual world with virtual reality-enabled vehicle inspection capabilities, take the controls in a train simulator featuring the European Train Control System or ETCS Level 2 technology, and witness live demonstrations of solutions that are transforming rail operations across Australia and the Asia Pacific region.
“AusRAIL PLUS represents a pivotal opportunity for us to demonstrate how our technology portfolio is helping transform the rail industry across the region,” said Carina O’Brien, Head of Strategy & Communications at Siemens Mobility ANZ.
“Siemens Mobility is proud to be a gold sponsor of AusRAIL and the team is excited to engage with our customers and industry partners at Stand 299, where delegates and get hands on experience to our solutions and speak with our local and global technical experts.”
Live demonstrations addressing real operational challenges
Beyond the virtual experiences, Siemens Mobility will present strategic live demonstrations addressing the key operational challenges facing the Australian rail industry today.
Industry professionals will gain practical insights into remote maintenance protocols that keep fleets running efficiently, explore robust cybersecurity frameworks designed to protect critical rail infrastructure, and discover advanced journey planning software that is optimising urban mobility across major cities.
The stand will also feature hands-on access to essential rail infrastructure components including the M23A MKIII point machine and the Clearguard ACM250 axle counting system, both of which are proven technologies underpinning safe and efficient rail operations across the network.
