Deutsche Bahn implemented ICONICS GENESIS32 to control a train washing facility handling all train types including high-speed models. The system uses GraphWorX32 for 3D visualization, a learning mode to capture and store brush and sprayer parameters, and automated synchronization of left and right washing units. Water treatment integration ensures non-conductive water for safe electric train operation without service interruption.

Key takeaways

GENESIS32 controls train washing with 3D graphics and animation for path tracing

Learning mode captures and stores brush and sprayer parameters per train type

Automatic left-right synchronization ensures even washing coverage

Water demineralization enables safe washing of powered electric trains

System monitors 1,500+ tags with AlarmWorX32 and TrendWorX32 integration
