GritLab 2026
Experience Innovation, Shape the Future
Step into the digital future of the railway industry!
At GRITLAB 2026, three groundbreaking technologies take center stage:
Digital Twin, Large-Scale Simulation, and Virtual Approval.
Digital Twin – Connecting Reality and Simulation
Digital twins provide highly detailed virtual models of railway infrastructure and rolling stock. By integrating real-time data and simulation-driven insights, operators can optimize maintenance strategies, predict failures, and enhance system reliability.
Large-Scale Simulations – Quantity Meets Quality and Speed
Advanced simulation techniques coupled with high-power computing capabilities allow rapid and high-fidelity modeling of complex railway systems. Large-Scale simulations empower engineers to test high number of different scenarios, analyze system behavior, and refine designs, all in a fraction of time.
Virtual Approval – Digitally Transforming Certification
Virtual approval processes are revolutionizing the certification of railway components and systems. Virtualisation replaces lengthy physical trials, significantly reducing development time while ensuring compliance with the highest safety and quality standards.
