DELTA XD - Digitisation Forum
Tackling Obsolescence, Upgrades, and New Build Challenges in
Passenger Rolling Stock and Locomotives
Driving Faster, Smarter, and More Cost-Effective Modernisation in Rail
Join Delta XD at RSN 2025 for an exclusive event dedicated to solving the challenges of obsolescence, upgrade, and new build projects across the rolling stock and locomotive sectors.
Through the use of cutting-edge large-area optical photogrammetry and high-resolution 3D scanning technologies — combined with decades of applied engineering expertise — we are helping the rail industry to accelerate overhaul, upgrade, and modernisation programmes while significantly reducing project timeframes and costs.
Our end-to-end digitisation services cover the entire journey: from ultra-accurate scanning, measurement, and inspection data acquisition to the full realisation of production-ready Computer-Aided Design (CAD) outputs. Whether supporting single component upgrades or full vehicle modernisation, Delta XD ensures projects stay on schedule and on budget, even when faced with the most complex challenges of legacy or bespoke assets.
The Digitisation Forum will also feature a mini expo area, where visitors can see the latest technologies in action, view real-world project examples, and speak directly with our technical experts.
