Africa Rail reposted this
A week has now passed since NGRT was at Africa Rail as event sponsors, a very well attended exhibition and a great experience to visit Johannesburg. Here is my feedback on the event itself... There was a genuine want and need in South Africa for infrastructure monitoring, as due to many years of neglect the tracks are not in the state they once were. NGRT will work with local partners to ensure there are improvements moving forward. Vandalism and theft – These topics were raised again and again by attendees, and this is where it is important the infrastructure manager and the local authorities are on the same page. Solutions can be put in place, for instance by using NGRT’s technology in co-operation with operators. Young and ambitious workforce – In addition to high level management, it was encouraging that a lot of the people visiting our stand with questions were young, educated, up and coming rail industry workers with a passion for the role. This can only be a good thing for South Africa as we move into the future. From an NGRT point of view, the event was a great success, with our stand very busy both days with people touching the technology, seeing how it works in real time and asking so many questions, which was great. With a further two visits to the Africa (at least) planned by the end of the year, we look to continue to grow our presence in Africa, and the goal is to have installations in several other African countries by the end of 2024. If you were at the event but didnt manage to visit the stand and would like further information, please get in touch. Next Generation Rail Technologies S.L. #AfricaRail
