situation

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

challenge

RAILPOOL's service teams often work alone — in railway depots, on siding or directly in the track area. These assignments involve an increased risk of accidents, especially when working alone. International expansion creates additional challenges: language barriers, different security standards and the need for an alarm solution that works across borders.

Security with Uepaa — national borders? Not a hindrance.

RAILPOOL in Munich has been using the Uepaa Safety app for several years and the solution was then also introduced at the locomotive service site in Germany. Just this week, additional Maintenance Delivery employees in France were equipped with the app. Centrally involved:

1. International emergency call center

Thanks to the 24/7 emergency call center with multilingual staff, it is possible to respond quickly and efficiently in an emergency — regardless of whether the emergency call comes from Innsbruck, Munich or Paris.

2. Automatic accident detection

Field engineers often work alone. Automatic alerts in the event of inactivity or falls provide a life-saving safety net — without the employee having to take action themselves.

3. Live tracking for quick help

In an emergency, every second counts. Precise location transmission makes it easier for rescue workers to coordinate — even at hard-to-reach locations along the rail.

4. Seamless integration into everyday work

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

conclusion

RAILPOOL shows what modern occupational safety looks like today: transnational, scalable and tailored to real needs in the field. With the Uepaa Safety app, technicians across Europe and in all local languages are well protected. RAILPOOL thus benefits from a uniform safety standard across Europe, which grows with the company.
