The most efficient way yet to build railways





Hello friends of form and design; Today we are going to see another sector that is beginning to receive the presence of robots, the railways, and Delta Railroad Services presented a new automated railway unloading car robot called RUC and the promise is to transform a slow and dangerous process into something much faster and safer.





This system was created to unload up to 487 meters of rails known as CWR, directly from the wagons to the fact of life, previously this work was done manually, with human teams exposed to risks and with a great loss of time, now the RUC takes on the task on its own with an independent system that places the rails precisely in both straight sections and curves.





The gain in speed is another important point, while traditional methods require enormous effort and many hours of work, the machine manages to unload a complete wagon in just a fraction of that time, this means accelerating entire project schedules and increasing productivity drastically.





The versatility also draws attention, the RUC can handle different types of wagons and rail sizes, adapting to the most varied operating needs. Another important detail is that the system is fully integrated, being able to move freely through a railway network like any other wagon, without requiring additional modifications.





For Delta Railroad Services, which has existed since 1957, this launch is a watershed, the RUC shows how even traditional sectors such as rail are entering the era of automation.





I hope the information is useful when making a decision when you visit this beautiful country, don't forget to support me and we'll see each other next time, bye.
