Cross-industry Learning from Railway Technology
The classic divisions of industries are increasingly breaking down in a more networked and holistic product world. This requires interdisciplinary thinking from the development departments at REO, even during the development of components, with regard to the versatile application possibilities of the finished products. This versatility is currently particularly evident in the use of railway components. Customers from a wide range of industries are increasingly relying on REO’s heavy-duty product line. Thanks to their partially modular design, the components are now used in mining, shipbuilding and large construction machinery. This trend is understandable, as REO components from railway technology are specially designed for use in an electric drive under the most adverse conditions. High dynamic forces and intensive continuous operation demand the highest level of quality. In order to achieve this quality, REO components are developed using state-of-the-art simulation technology before they are ready for the market, and the prototypes are tested and inspected under the toughest conditions. An essential unique selling point for the longevity of REO components is the MPS protective coating (Moisture Protection System). The protection developed by REO is an essential component of the REO insulation system and is available exclusively from REO. It is used from a pollution level of PD3A and reliably protects the components against a variety of environmental influences in the long term. Together with a careful selection of raw materials, REO achieves a longevity and durability of its products that is unparalleled worldwide.
At REO, you will find standard products suitable for various industries, as well as modified and custom-designed products for your specific application. Except by the laws of physics, there are no limits to our creativity. The first step to a suitable REO product is an inquiry, for example via the product finder on the REO website or by means of the contact form. You don’t even need any technical expertise for this – simply let us know your intended application, and we will find the right product for you.
