Situation

RAILPOOL GmbH is one of the leading rental companies for electric locomotives in Europe. Headquartered in Munich and with a strong technical hub in Austria, the company services over 500 locomotives in 20 European countries. With the opening of Europe's most modern locomotive service center in Germany and its market entry in France, RAILPOOL is focusing on cross-border maintenance operations - mobile, efficient and safe.

The challenge

RAILPOOL's service teams often work alone - in railroad depots, on sidings or directly in the track area. These assignments entail an increased risk of accidents, especially when working alone. International expansion brings additional challenges: language barriers, different safety standards and the need for an alarm solution that works across borders.

Security with Uepaa - national borders? No obstacle.

RAILPOOL in Munich has been using the Uepaa Safety App for several years. The solution was then also introduced at the locomotive service location in Germany. Just this week, further employees in Maintenance Delivery in France were equipped with the app. Central to this:

1st International Emergency Call Center

Thanks to the round-the-clock emergency call center with multilingual staff, it is possible to respond quickly and efficiently in an emergency - regardless of whether the call comes from Innsbruck, Munich or Paris.

2. automatic accident detection

Field technicians often work alone. The automatic alarm in the event of inactivity or falls provides a life-saving safety net - without the employee having to take action themselves.

3. live localization for quick help

In an emergency, every second counts. Precise location transmission makes it easier to coordinate the emergency services - even in hard-to-reach locations along the track.

4. seamless integration into everyday working life

The app runs in the background, is ready to use with just a few clicks and can be used on private or company-owned devices - ideal for modern, mobile occupational safety.

Conclusion

RAILPOOL shows what modern occupational safety looks like today: transnational, scalable and tailored to the real needs in the field. With the Uepaa Safety App, technicians are optimally protected throughout Europe and in all national languages. RAILPOOL thus benefits from a uniform Europe-wide safety standard that grows with the company.
