- Workshop tour including a visit to the underfloor wheelset lathe and the wheelset diagnostics system
- Tour on a historic tram, city tour and dinner

- Johannes Rüder, DB Systemtechnik: DB on the way to becoming a qualified operator of wheelset turning machines
- Francisco Carrascosa, Patentes Talgo: TALVI – Automated inspection platform for rail vehicles
- Open and moderated Q&A session
We are very pleased with the success of the event, the lively participation in the discussions and would like to thank everyone who made this meeting possible, especially Mr Gummersbach and Mr Späth as well as the employees of SWU, who were such a warm and experienced host for us on their premises and at their site. The feedback on our meeting was consistently positive and there was a consensus that personal exchange is valuable in all areas, especially in times of increasing digitalisation. We therefore feel called upon to organise a 3rd network meeting. It is in the works…
